Welcome to Oceana Australian Shepherds. Let me introduce myself, my name is Kathy. I was first introduced to the Australian Shepherd when I moved to California in 1968. 

I began showing Aussies the early 90's and I have had the pleasure of attending eleven National Specialties and qualifying three dogs for consecutive Conformation Invitational held at the ASCA National Specialty.

 

 

Since this incredible journey began I have had the privilege of meeting many new friends, grooming, handling and traveling with some of the nicest dogs in California. I am an active member of the Australian Shepherd Club of San Diego County and Ocean View Australian Shepherd Club.

These adventures led to my passion for graphic arts, web design and advertising layouts. Samples of some my work are viewable on the web design page.

ASCA/AKC Ch Hatcreeks No Deposit No Return "Bernie" won the Veteran Dog 13+ class at Nationals, as well as, picking up nice class placements at pre-shows in the 10 and up classes.

I had so much fun showing Bernie at Nationals. He still has that "look at me attitude" and that fabulous, floating side gait.

Nik Naks Eye Opener @ Sundown, Bernie's son Lewis, was 2nd place in Open Red Merle Dog at National Specialty. Lewis also had class placements at the Pre-Shows.
