Hi, I’m Paula, the author of the books and e-books on this site. I offer these resources to help you achieve your dream of becoming a more successful breeder and perhaps a judge.

I fell in love with Australian Shepherds in 1980 and began training and showing in conformation and performance events. I produced champions, obedience, herding and agility titled dogs, and also trained in rally and tracking. My kennel, Bainbridge Aussies, became an Australian Shepherd Club of America (ASCA) Hall of Fame Kennel.

I’m a Senior Breeder Judge for AKC and ASCA conformation shows in the U.S. and a Breeder Judge for FCI shows in Europe. I served for nine years on the Board of Directors of the United States Australian Shepherd Association (USASA) including terms as Vice President and Chairperson of the Health and Genetics Program.

​I’m deeply dedicated to Australian Shepherds and hope you’ll join me in keeping this breed intelligent, versatile, and healthy!
