What an amazing weekend we had in Eau Claire, WI.  Very low entries in Aussies which is often the case here where we live.  Beckham won the Breed, Kaih won Best of Opposite, so on to Terrier Group Beckham and Ellie went.

For those of you new to dog shows, like us not too long ago, Group is where all the Best of Breed dogs for that day compete against other breeds within their classification...

Puppy Party!

Posted by Theresa Goiffon on Monday, February 1, 2010, In : Dunham Lake Monthly News 

                          
February the month of love and what better way to show your dog that you love him or her but to throw a puppy party!  Well, not to mention it's the middle of winter, not much else to do at least here in the Midwest where we live :^)

Researching this topic, I found many puppy party planning ideas on-line. I was quite surprised at how elaborate some of these parties can be.  There are theme puppy parties, goodie doggy bags, party hats, doggie cakes and a multitude of p...

Integrity

Posted by Theresa Goiffon on Monday, January 11, 2010, In : Dunham Lake Monthly News 

Every year I look at the mission statement of Dunham Lake Aussies and make sure it still supports our goals which are to raise healthy, sound temperament Australian Terriers for show or companion homes.  2009 has been a wonderful and interesting year in many ways.  In the Aussie world in which we are involved, by our peers, we have been challenged, harrassed, loved, stalked, included, excluded, welcomed, ignored, highly encouraged, commended and supported. Quite the range of experiences! Than...

Australian Terrier Breeder


Theresa Greetings from Northwestern Wisconsin! I am a wife and a mother of 3 wonderful daughters. I home school 2 of our girls and our 3rd is in her Senior year of college. I work part time at our church. I also have a small Website business providing website design to small businesses and friends. Previously, I had a 25 year banking career. Retired several years ago, as a Vice President of Commercial Banking and Business Development Director for a financial institution. I have owned and raised dogs and cats for over 40 years. In 2007, we started to show and raise Australian Terriers. We have 4 Australian Terriers and 2 Australian Shepherds. We have AKC Champion Aussies including one of our Aussies has been ranked in the top 5 All-Breed Terriers in the United States. That being said, our dogs are first and foremost our companions. Our two younger daughters, are actively involved in Junior Showmanship, it has been a great activity for them and our family as well. I take my role as a breeder very seriously. I have studied the breed for several years, I support health testing and temperment testing as well as evaluating proper conformation prior to breeding. We had our first litter Spring of 2009. Our litters will be few. We believe in breeding for quality not quantity. Regardless of whether your puppy comes from us or not I hope you find our site a helpful resource. If you have questions about our program or about the Aussie Terrier, please e-mail me theresaagoiffon@msn.com or give me a call@ 715-689-2675. Thanks for visiting us! Blessings, Theresa
