About Jayblue
I bought my first pedigree registed Australian Cattle Dog ‘Gleniris Blue Jayed’ in 1992 from the late Iris & Les Heale “Gleniris Kennels”. I had no intentions of breeding or showing dogs I only wanted a loyal pet and that is all she really was.
After buying my new pup I kept in contact with Iris and Les, and before I knew it I was at my first dog show, showing my baby puppy. From that day I caught the showing bug, strangely enough my Great Grandfather showed dogs back in the 1930’s.
Iris and Les took me under their wing and taught me everything about showing and the history of Australian Cattle Dogs and Stumpy Tailed Cattle dogs.
After realising my original bitch was not show quality I brought my first show bitch in 1993 Aust Ch Gleniris Southern Blaze, from which i breed my first litter in 1996 . at my first show showing my prefix i won baby in group with Jayblue Country Lad and from then he went on to win many in group and show awards.
It was not till 1997 when I bred my first Red Australian Cattle litter that I fell in love with the Red’s.
My red lines are a result of using dogs from the following prefixes Bangeeri , Arakoon and Linklowe.
I would not have the dogs I have today without mentoring of many these breeders.
I am only a small kennel, I believe quality is better than quantity .
