ISVetCh ISCh RW-14 Thornapple Seduction "Reese"
Reese "Thornapple Seduction" was our first Australian Shepherd. We brought her from the United States in February 2011, she is born on August 10th 2007. Her breeders are Amy Garrison, Ellen Brandenburg and Coleen Zartman, their breeding is named Thornapple. Reese had taken part in few shows before she came to Iceland and you can see pictures from them and here growing up here.
Reese adjusted well here in Iceland and played a big role in our family her whole life with us as she was the queen of the house. She took part in her first show in June 2011 and with good results. She won her group and was 2nd best bitch of breed, with cc. At the November show same year she won her first BOB, with CC and CACIB.
2012 was a puppy year for our Reese and she had a total of 19 puppies in 2 litters. So she took time off from shows after that until autumn 2013. She got her third CC in February 2014 and became an Icelandic Champion. In August 2015 she became 8 years old and took part in the September show as a veteran for her first time. She did great at that show became 2nd best bitch after her daughter, BOB veteran and was selected top 6 BIS veteran. Great start for her as a veteran :)
Reese passed away in August 2019 and we still miss her every day. She was one of a kind and we will always remember her as the queen she was <3

C.I.B. ISVetCh ISCh USCh RW-17 Thornapple Good to Go "Chase"
We bought Chase "Thornapple Good to Go" from the United States. He came to Iceland in February 2012 and to us in March. He became 4 years old just before he left the States. He is like Reese from the Thornapple Kennel in Michigan and his breeders are Ellen Brandenburg, Amy Garrison and Lisa Penton.

Chase has like Reese adjusted well in Iceland and is every ones favorite. He is sweet and gentle dog who charms everyone with his great spirit. He became one of our family at the moment we picked him up at the airport "smiled at us and hugged us".
Chase passed away in September 2020 and we still miss her every day. She was one of a kind and we will always remember her as the queen she was <3

Saarland Sieger 2017 C.I.B. ISCh Víkur Bob Marley "Marley"
Marley is from our first litter "The Star litter" and is born 02.02.2012. He is very loyal, fast learner, good with children, powerful, curious, good with other dogs and loves going out to play and run around at the country side. Marley lives with our co-owner and his handler Theodóra.
He took part in his first show in November 2012 and did beyond expectations, became second best male in breed with a great review from the judge. His second show was just after his first birthday and he did excellent there. Was BOB and 2nd in the group and also got his first Icelandic Champion point. He was only 15 months old when he got his 3rd point. But according to HRFÍ standards the dog has to bee at least 24 months old when he receives his 3rd CK to become a champion so it was not until the September 2014 show when he got his 6th CK that he finally became a champion. In September 2016 Marley got his 4th CACIB and became an International Champion, C.I.B., and is the first Aussie male bred here in Iceland to gain that title.
Marley now lives in Germany with our co-owner and handler. They took part in their first show in Germany in the beginning of June with great results. He became BOS, with his first German CAC but he needs five to become VDH CH and he also earned himself a new title Saarland Sieger 2017.

She is born in Croatia in February 2014 and her breeder is Marko Ljutic, Mangry's Australian Shepherd.

Northern Black Pearl De La Vallée d'Eska "Sofie"
Sofie is the newest addition to our family. She comes from the same breeder in France as our Melody. I went with our Theodóra to pick her up in France in February and she stayed with her and Marley until June when I picked her up and brought her home to quarantine. In July she finally came home to us.
She is such a funny girl, open and a true prankster and Marley and Theodóra enjoyed having her with them for this time.
Despite being from the same Breeder as Melody they are not related so with her as well as Melody we get a lot of new lines into our breeding.
