Hi, I'm Paula, the author of the books and e-books on this site. I'm sharing my knowledge to help you achieve your dream of becoming a more successful breeder. I've had lots of success and now it's your turn to have wonderful dogs, enjoy competing at shows and performance events, and become a respected guardian of the breed.
Here's a little about me. I was hooked on Australian Shepherds in 1980 and began training and showing in conformation and performance events. Under my kennel name “Bainbridge,” I produced many champions, obedience, herding, and agility titled dogs, and also trained Aussies in rally and tracking. Bainbridge Aussies became an Australian Shepherd Club of America (ASCA) Hall of Fame kennel.
My beautiful dog, ASCA CH Steal The Show of Bainbridge, won Best of Breed at the 1986 Australian Shepherd Club of America National Specialty. Another dog I bred, Chukker’s Brumby Bainbridge, earned every agility title offered in the US during his lifetime. He also earned titles in herding, obedience and conformation and won Most Versatile Aussie at the 2004 USASA National Specialty. He was owned and trained by Wendy Cerilly of High Goal Farm. Brumby's impressive list of titles include MACH4 U-ACHX NATCH4 ATCH-SP ADCH C-ATCH U-CH TV-O WV-N TG-N ASCA & AKC CD CGC JHD-S STDc ATDsd HSAsd NF RN.
I started judging Aussies in 1986, and I'm a Senior Breeder Judge for AKC and ASCA shows in the U.S., and a Breeder Judge for FCI shows in Europe. I was an officer of the Aussie clubs where I lived, and also served for nine years on the Board of Directors of the United States Australian Shepherd Association (USASA). My greatest achievement as USASA's Health & Genetics Chairperson was to promote and broaden genetic health testing of Aussies at the National Specialty, and to spearhead one of their epilepsy research programs.
I'm deeply dedicated to Australian Shepherds and hope you'll join me in keeping this breed wonderful!
