-- The Australian Shepherd is now a recognised breed in Australia, at
least in NSW, and there are at least two registered breeders - one in
Queensland and one in Sydney.

The NSWCC Journal ran a feature article on the breed some months ago
(just after I had noticed correspondence regarding the breed on the US
dogs bb and had queried the existence of such a breed), and I realised I
had known an 'Aussie' (as they are known in the States) about 30 years
ago.  He was a genuine working dog, managing a substantial cattle herd,
and was not only a beautiful animal but a lovely-natured personality as
well.  I remember him with great affection.

If anyone really wants more details on breeders, breed characteristics
or history, I'll be happy to dredge them up from the Journal article or
from my subsequent correspondence with breeders.  Just e-mail me.

Happy new year -

Dorrit
