Gwendolyn is bred for performance and correct conformation. Form and function come together beautifully in this exemplary individual. In addition to her eager willingness to please and loving disposition, she embodies many of the hallmark traits Australian Shepherds are known for.

Gwendolyn has a keen interest in agility and an adventurous spirit. She never misses a car ride and is most often my traveling companion when I’m transporting horses. She’s also proven to be a devoted, protective mother.

Her recent litter with Magnum far exceeded our expectations — their puppies are well-suited for obedience, rally, agility, conformation, and herding disciplines.

Her grandsire, Maverick, is owned and shown by youth handlers to multiple Reserve Championships in conformation. Gwendolyn was bred by AKC Judge Laurie Atkinson of California.

Arwen’s first love — and only concern — is her owner and family. She possesses an extraordinary blend of kindness and devotion. Gentle by nature, she’ll readily surrender her bone or toy, even to our opportunistic Corgi.

Despite her gentle temperament, Arwen is fiercely protective. She instinctively places herself between us and any perceived threat, always alert and quietly watchful. She never misses a trip to the stables and loves checking on the horses and foals with me after hours.

She stays by my side and remains diligently aware of our surroundings, always attuned to my safety. Arwen embodies the protective herding instincts Australian Shepherds are known for, paired with the kindest, most personable disposition I’ve ever encountered.

Arwen is double-registered and champion-sired by Ramblin Man. She was bred by Barbara Wilson of Del Rae Australian Shepherds.
