Susan Edwards is owned by her dogs. Susan's love for Australian Shepherds began in the horse, cattle and sheep barns at Cal Poly University 30 years ago. As an animal science major, her work revolved around animals, and as an avid horse person since childhood, she was constantly in contact with"the little blue dogs with bob tails."

In 1974, while purchasing a show horse in Kentucky, she noticed the rancher had a new litter of Aussie pups. She brought home a horse and a pup that day, and her love affair with this very special breed has been going strong ever since.

Susan has pet/companion and performance/show Aussies. They are worked, trained and loved on a daily basis as well as shown in the breed ring...but first and foremost, are family companions.

Above: William Jacob, the new love of Susan's life, plays with the puppies. Susan's daughter Rebecca stays busy with motherhood and her new son, who will be two in July.

Jessica follows an agriculture career, teaching at King City High School. She is busy with FFA, livestock judging, and graduated from Cal Poly last year with her credential and Masters degree.

Above: daughters, Jesse and Becca...along with many other "kids."

Susan owes many thanks to Peggy Albertson of Red Banks and Carrie Rollins of C-Star for their help and guidance through the years, and for the priviledge of owning such wonderful dogs Homey and Reba. These two dogs haven given me so many years of pleasure and devotion!
