ACDCUSpotlight Vol 1 Issue 1

My "under the doona" period of my life saw me
just exist with regular hospital stays and many many
counselling sessions. Sadly my dogs just existed in
my kennels with me doing very little showing,
breeding and judging.
However, with the help and never ending support
of my wonderful long suffering husband and the
medical profession, in January 2017 I came out from
"under the doona" and life has never been better.
I am in the process of writing my third book on
this wonderful breed and plan to release it mid
2020.
My current show team and proudly ALL
owner/handled consists of Multi BIS/BISS Ch
Kombinalong Super Highway HIC who is knocking
on the door of his Supreme title. Multi BISS Ch
Kombinalong T he Age of Super, Multi BIS/BISS Ch
Kombinalong T he Edge of Super, her daughter,
Multi BIG Ch Kombinalong Stairway to Super, my
neuter girls both multi BIS neuter winners, Neuter
Ch Kombinalong A Little Bit Super and Neuter Ch
Kombinalong Super in Champagne. Plus my babies,
Kombinalong T ruly Madly Super, My Name is
Super, Highway to Super, Life of Super and Five
Seconds of Super.
My husband and I have been very fortunate to have
judged in many parts of the world, however, without
doubt my most memorable judging experience was
the millennium ACDCA national specialty in
Greeley Colorado. I thought I had died and gone to
ACD heaven!! Ken had fun judging the property
classes as at the time Ken was studying for his
herding group license and it gave him a tremendous
amount of experience in the breed which he would
never have received in Oz.
I started health testing my breeding stock in the
early 80's and after spending considerable time and
money shipping pups to Queensland to have them
hearing tested I invested in a BAERCOM unit.
Being the first person to bring one into Australia.
All my breeding stock are hearing, PRCD/PLL
tested and hip and elbow scored.
I type this en route to South Africa. Spending
time at Kruger National Park and judging three All
breeds shows including an FCI show and my beloved
cattle dogs. Living the dream!
