StarCreek Australian Shepherds

About Us

Welcome to StarCreek Australian Shepherds. Take your time looking around our site. It is developing, but there still is a lot to see.

StarCreek is a small, home-based Australian Shepherd breeder in Ontario. We live on a hobby farm in Roblin, half an hour from the beautiful city of Kingston. We produce CKC-registered Australian Shepherds according to breed standards, focusing on health and temperament. We enjoy working with the dogs in conformation, rally, and learning other dog sports. Mostly, we love their companionship on our hobby farm.

After leaving my job as a sales auditor at Costco, I enrolled in St. Lawrence College Kingston to become a certified Vet Assistant and took a deep cut in pay, lol. I also brought home my first show dog and second Australian Shepherd, Willoughby. With a lot of help, I learned (and am still learning) how to show a dog in the ring. I took Will out in the Baby Puppy Class in Port Hope and won! That was it; I was hooked - on Aussies, showing and learning dog sports, dog training, dog breeding, the whole nine yards. With a steady hand and a trembling heart, we have proudly produced our first few litters at StarCreek. These wonderful puppies have gone on to be a child's best friend, become therapy dogs, barn hunt addicts, compete in rally, and do well in the conformation ring. They are all wonderful dogs. The families that they are a massive part of are wonderful, too.

If you think a StarCreek puppy might be right for you, don't hesitate to contact us for an application.

Dog Training

I've also continued to work with dogs in general, including a crash course working with shelter dogs for over five years, which I survived. After many hours of helping people and dogs of all kinds, I decided to take the Certified Professional Dog Trainer exam and proudly became a CPDT-KA dog trainer.

If you need dog training, I can help. At this time, we offer one-on-one training, virtually or in person. Just contact us, and I can send you our packages and prices.

StarCreek is right in the middle of things! We are 2.5 hours east of Toronto and 2.5 hours west of Ottawa.

Please feel free to contact us about our dogs and Australian Shepherds.

Thank you,
