About Us

Welcome to Orchard Bay! We are a small breeding program located on Texada Island, BC Canada, ran by myself, Shiloh, and my husband David. I first fell in love with the breed back in 2016 while working at a dog daycare while in college. I grew up with herding breeds, and when I met my first Aussie, I knew it was the breed for me! I loved their easy going temperaments, with a wonderful off switch but still plenty of get up and go for all the fun stuff. Once graduating college, I purchased my first Australian Shepherd, Finn. Finn solidified my love for the breed, and so our program began. We often travel to Vancouver Island for a variety of dog sport events, especially in the summer months. We live on my family acreage, with plenty of acres to play and train for different sports. Some of my family live on the same acreage, so they are often around whether its visiting, playing with puppies, or holding down the fort while we’re away at events.
