Stuart and Lucia bring their love of the Border Collie and sheep herding to audiences all over Florida and beyond. They live in Grant-Valkaria Florida where they have a small flock of Scottish Blackface Sheep and Horned Dorsett Sheep. These sheep are rare in Florida and even in the US. They do demonstrations of herding to educate and entertain. Their focus is promotion and betterment of the Border Collie through education and diligent and responsible breeding. These brilliant dogs along with their unusual and impressive colleagues, the sheep, put on a show that will charm and inform and expose the average individual to something the might normally would not see…. sheep herding.

Stuart was born in southwestern Scotland. He was raised on a sheep farm which is now the name of our farm and kennel. It relates to the area of Scotland where Stuart grew up.

Stuart rekindled his interest here in the US and began to compete with his dogs. Stuart, true to his heritage, makes unique Shepherd’s Crooks, a tool that shepherds use almost universally and has a certificate in sheep shearing, which comes in handy!

Lucia, a city girl, found her love of animals great and small and in particular, Border Collies, was too great to resist. She soon put her boots on and learned the ropes as a competitor in herding and and accepted the challenge of caring for and nurturing these animals with Stuart.

 Together their dynamic presentations elicit delight in the faces of children and fascination in adults.

From ancient times shepherds have tended their flocks. In many countries throughout the world, shepherds still tend their flocks daily…and they best do it with their trusty BORDER COLLIES!
