Stonehaven Dogs
Our love affair with the Australian Shepherd began as children where we always saw the "smart little blue dogs" at horse shows where we competed.  In 1994, we purchased our first stockdog-bloodline Aussie, "Zack," as an agility prospect, and from there our love for this wonderful versatile breed has never wavered.
  In 2006, we were introduced to the Xoloitzcuintli (Xolo) through friend and kennel partner J. Frank Baylis (Bayshore) and were immediately enamored with these unique and exquisite dogs, and we love educating people about them.
​
We are lucky to be the proud Breeders, Owners, and Handlers of outstanding dogs who have excelled in Conformation, Agility, Herding, Obedience, and Tracking venues, both nationally and internationally, including Best In Show, National Specialty, Specialty Show Winners, and #1 Ranked Dogs.
Most importantly however, our dogs are Champions of many owner's hearts.
​ 
Stonehaven Australian Shepherds has achieved the requirements to be recognized as a United States Australian Shepherd Association (USASA)
​Hall of Fame Breeder and AKC Breeder of Merit.

Our Home
Built in 1780 and lovingly restored in 2015 before our
acquisition, our home sits on Furnace Mountain in the village of
Taylorstown, Virginia, adjacent to the Potomac River and C&O Canal.
  Centrally located in the heart of Virginia wine country and
less than an hour from Washington D.C., our mountain property is
​ a little piece of paradise for us and the animal companions that share our lives.
