KELPIE BREEDERS
ALL THESE NOONBARRA KELPIES HAVE FULL STUD BOOK REGISTRATION (Highest Level - Purebred) WITH THE WORKING KELPIE COUNCIL OF AUSTRALIA Inc. (WKC)
This section has important information on the main Noonbarra Kelpies used by our Stud's Kelpie breeder program in recent times. Not all these Kelpies are currently being bred of course. Although we have always only run a small Stud, we have been going a very long time and our Noonbarra Kelpies have made a big reputation for themselves far beyond the number of dogs we breed each year. We are Kelpie breeders who have strived year after year to produce the best possible Kelpies.
We usually only breed a small number of pups each year. We like to keep it a small family run Stud. We need to keep it so each pup can have complete individual care. It ensures each pup gets maximum socialising, training and assessment. But we are also breeding enough Kelpie pups to be able to assess the bloodlines and keep rigid checks on our matings and the progress of our breeding program.

WE
are well known Kelpie breeders both here in Australia as well as overseas. We are one of
only a handful of parent Studs in Australia and our bloodlines
are used as foundation dogs and in the breeding programs of many other Studs.
Our Noonbarra Kelpies have also excelled in
Yard, Utility and Arena Sheepdog Trials. They have even won some of
Australia's top awards including National and State titles.
Our bloodlines were mainly developed from the great Kalari Basil (1959) and Kalari Joker (1958) and we have bred back to these two famous Working Kelpies very strongly and through their offspring such as the legendary Kelpies, Rockybar Buff, Liscannor Pace, and Chondo Doll. Today our Stud carries more Kalari Basil blood than any other Kelpies in the world.
As Kelpie breeders we have always had natural working ability as our main goal. One of our most important sires was Noonbarra Tim (1986). He was sired by the great Liscannor Pace and was also a great grandson of Liscannor Pace on his other side. He sired some of our best working dogs for many years. We then closely linebred him and produced two outstanding Kelpies in Noonbarra Prince and Noonbarra Gabe. Gabe (now deceased), proved himself to be an excellent sire for our Stud as well as a top worker and companion. We then linebred to him and produced some of the best Kelpies we have ever had. These days all our Stud Kelpies trace back to Noonbarra Tim & Noonbarra Gabe and of course further to Rockybar Buff and Kalari Basil..
In 1997, we lost our best sire ever in Noonbarra Gabe. His influence is still very important in our breeding program today. Noonbarra Gabe was the result of years of learning about bloodlines. His sire, Noonbarra Tim was one of our most influential sires and his sister, Noonbarra Tracey was also a wonderful Kelpie. She went to the Corvette Kelpie Stud. Noonbarra Tim had a great nature and loved everyone and thought everyone loved him. Like his dam Gayleen, he was always a very happy, outgoing dog.
We then mated Noonbarra Tim to Le Cliff Gabee. She was owned by Kerry & Shirley Drew who are now kelpie breeders in their right with their Alinta Stud. Gabee was a very special dog. She had amazing raw natural working ability and she was closely linebred to old Rockybar Buff and the Kalari Basil and Kalari Joker bloodlines. From this mating we only got two puppies, Noonbarra Gabe and Noonbarra Prince.
Gabe was Stephen's main companion dog and he had that same wonderful temperament that was very easy to love. He won and placed in a number of Sheepdog Trials including winning the handlers trial at the Australian National Utility Kelpie Championships in Tasmania 1991(Noonbarra Tina was 2nd), Yard Dog Championships, 2 sheep trials and numerous placings in other trials.
We stopped trialling him in early 1992, after Mary became sick and we scaled down our Stud activities. He was then still only 3 years old. We did however put him in a local sheepdog trial at Manildra in 1994 which he won with 94 points (without any training for two years). It is a disappointment that many people didn't see him as he matured into one of our best dogs ever. Noonbarra Gabe produced a lot of very good dogs for us including, Noonbarra Judy, Noonbarra Butch, Noonbarra Boris, Noonbarra Bonny, Noonbarra Boss II, Noonbarra Penny II, Noonbarra Gabby II, and many others. Noonbarra Judy went on to produce Noonbarra Dusty III and Noonbarra Flash, two of our best workers and sires.
Noonbarra Boss II was the sire of Noonbarra Valerie and Noonbarra Wendy. Noonbarra Prince was in later life, used over Noonbarra Judy & Noonbarra Valerie and produced some of our best pups ever. Prince was a full litter brother to Gabe, put over a daughter of Gabe (Noonbarra Judy) and Grand - Daughter of Gabe (Noonbarra Valerie). This is beautiful line breeding and the pups from both litters were very consistent and every single one a good natural worker. These pups carried over thirty infusions of the famous Kalari Basil genes.

Noonbarra Cassie is a delightful girl
and one of our favourite companions. She has a very calm nature and is very laid
back but she also has a delightful sense of fun and play. She is nice and friendly
and is easy to control and train. She is often kept in as a
house dog and is very well behaved and very calm. She likes to have a pat and
then lie down at our feet. She is an obedient dog
and extremely smart. Cassie likes to be with you and loves to go out in the car.
She is an excellent travelling dog and of all our dogs, Cassie, Jackaroo and
Jenny are our best travelling dogs. We often take her out to cafes etc. and she
is very well behaved and just lies under the table. Lots of people are always
asking to pat her as she has a great personality and enjoys life.
Her work is steady but strong and she is always keen. Over the years she has made a lot of friends and is admired by many of our customers. She has only ever had three litters and we get a very strong demand for hr puppies. She has been mated to Noonbarra Dusty III (some years ago) and the to Noonbarra Mick II and we kept Noonbarra Karli in the Stud from that litter. She has since been mated to Noonbarra Jackaroo and once again had fantastic pups. She looks after her pups very well and they are always in great condition, fat and healthy.

Red & Tan Colour.
Amy is a gentle, calm female. She is a reasonably tall girl and has bred a few litters of excellent pups to Noonbarra Max and Noonbarra Jackaroo. This has given us good medium sized Kelpies that are fairly calm dogs with good stock work ability, a nice amount of eye and style and can be fast, agile dogs when needed but are quiet, relaxed dogs in the home. Amy is an exceptional mother.
Noonbarra Chloe II and Noonbarra Misty (from different Max X Amy litters) have been kept in the Stud. Others from this breeding that can be found under customer reviews are Noonbarra Matti, Noonbarra Amber, Noonbarra Daysie, Noonbarra Banjo etc.
Like all our Noonbarra Kelpies these days, Amy loves to be with us and part of whatever we are doing. She travels well in a car and settles indoors.
She was an early starting Kelpie with a lot of keenness on stock. She is quiet natured, kind and wise and of course very likable. Her work is a combination of stylish walk up to sheep with lots of footwork and strength to force when needed. It is no surprise to see this ability as she seems to have taken the best traits from each parent. She shows some exceptional ability in the stockyards and is an incredible dog when it comes to backing sheep.
She was mated to Noonbarra Jackaroo (Max's son) for the first time in 2008 and produced excellent puppies. It was an ideal combination of two wonderful dogs. Jackaroo has been giving us superb pups over a number of different females such as Noonbarra Kellie and Noonbarra Meg.

NOONBARRA JESSIE II (Futura
Ned X Noonbarra Sarah)
Red & Tan female. Born: 20th August 2001
Jessie
is a very striking looking red & tan female Kelpie. She has a gentle personality
and is extremely calm and steady. Jessie
is a very special Kelpie for us. She is one of the calmest and nicest
Kelpies we own and her pups are highly sought after. She
is a gentle,
quiet dog who is friendly to strangers and
loves to get a pat and a cuddle but not over-excited and doesn't
jump all over
people. She is very easy to handle and train.
Her dam (Noonbarra Sarah) as many know, is one of the best female workers we have ever bred in our stud. Jessie has some of the good genes from Sarah but she also has some characteristics from her sire Ned too. Ned is a Victorian Kelpie that has won a number of sheepdog trials and is a very friendly outgoing type of dog.
Her
work is a lot like Noonbarra Sarah and others coming up from Noonbarra Wendy.
She shows a lot of style and eye on a few sheep and has a lot of natural working
ability. Very quick footwork and anticipation in the old classic Kelpie style
and excellent concentration.
She has a wonderful nature and is a very kind dog. She has been an outstanding mother for us. She has been mated to Noonbarra Max and to Noonbarra Jackaroo. Her pups are always in demand.

NOONBARRA JACKAROO Noonbarra Max X Noonbarra Lizzie
Red & Tan Male.
Jackaroo
is a fantastic sire for us who is the kind of dog we have been aiming to breed for many
years. He is a great combination of Noonbarra Max, a little of Noonbarra Dusty
and Sarah and quite a bit of old Noonbarra Gabe coming in.
He is an absolute joy to own. A dog who is faithful, easy to train, friendly, wants to please and very intelligent. He travels well, adapts to new situations easily, is very calm and steady and acts like a dog many years his senior. He is one of our main companion dogs these days and is a terrific dog to travel with. We take him just about everywhere with us.
Jackaroo is an exceptional dog in many ways. He is very
versatile and adaptable. He worked on a photo shoot for a dog food advertisement
with the TV personality Dr. Harry. He was just seven months of age, in Sydney,
with lights and people etc. and was a champion. The crew could not get over how
well behaved he was and they all wanted to know what the secret was.
He can handle just about any job and was a good working dog as a little puppy and from about six months of age he could do nearly all the work in the stockyards by himself. He is a superb backing dog and a real thinker but not just in the yards but also in the open on mobs of sheep or just a few.
His breeding goes back to many of the great Kelpies in Australia. His grandsire is a top Trial dog and his Great Grandsire is a Australian National Open winner. His breeding brings in a number of past Australian National Open Field winners and Yard Trial Champion winners as well.
Noonbarra Jackaroo
We have been extremely pleased with the pups by Noonbarra Jackaroo. Over the years he has been mated three times to Noonbarra Meg II, twice to Noonbarra Becky III, twice to Noonbarra Misty, four times to Noonbarra Kellie, twice to Barclays Queen, twice to Noonbarra Amy as well as to Noonbarra Sue, Kamileroy Queen, Noonbarra Cassie III, Noonbarra Chloe II, Noonbarra Sarah, Monuments Morning Star, and Noonbarra Jessie II. He has also had a number of matings to females from other owners. He is currently our most sought after sire.
Jackaroo has proved to be a great dog for us over the years and puts in a nice calmness into most of his puppies. He also produces very versatile Kelpies. He is a light- framed, athletic, medium sized Kelpie and is not heavy or coarse in any way.
Noonbarra Jackaroo has a wonderful nature and is one of Stephen's main companion dogs who travels with him and goes out working with him on the property repairing fences etc. Very loyal and affectionate. He is also a terrific house dog and often sleeps in. He is good with people and loves a pat. He can be seen working on our latest DVD.

NOONBARRA KELLIE Noonbarra Roy III X Noonbarra Sarah
Black & Tan Female
Noonbarra Kellie is one of the best females we have produced in years. She has an enormous amount of natural working ability. She shows a lot of the special traits of her well-known mother, Noonbarra Sarah. They both work in a similar fashion. Good walk-in strength on stock but combined with a lot of style and class!
Kellie has a good sense of fun and loves to be part of whatever is going on. She's a very outgoing, friendly dog who is also very faithful. She loves to have a cuddle.
Kellie's has had four litters to our top Kelpie sire, Noonbarra Jackaroo and we have had some of our best Kelpies in recent years come from this combination. They have sold all over Australia as well as overseas.
Kellie has plenty of calm power on sheep when it is needed but also shows a nice style and distance to settle sheep down. She is the type to have made a good Arena (3 sheep) Trial dog if trained to it. But she is much more than just a trial dog and a very versatile stockdog, who can work in the yards or paddock and adapt to new situations. She is the type that most farmers want!
Some customer comments from previous litters of Noonbarra Jackaroo X Noonbarra Kellie:
Noonbarra
Peggy Sue.
Companion pet for Bonnie in
Tasmania.
Bonnie's close friend, Mary, liked Peggy so much, she has since purchased Noonbarra
Nan.
"As her personality has developed over the past months I have been amazed and
pleased at how she is EXACTLY what you said she would be and I asked for. She
is dependent enough that she never strays far on walks and really enjoys being
around me, but independent enough that she is happy lazing in the sun while I
am away, and not getting distressed when I leave. I really appreciate her love
for cuddles, her intelligence, and her wanting to please.... I am still as in
love with her as when she first arrived. We have begun the Ideal Dogs of
Australia dog training course and she is doing very well, showing up many of
the other dogs who are older. She amazes people at the park with the way she
sprints straight towards me when I call her."
Kellie is one of our best breeding females. If you like the black & tans, then she is a beautiful example.
We are very impressed with her natural working ability. She has all the old style Kelpie traits that are often lost today. Excellent footwork and anticipation, lovely distance and concentration as well as eye, style and steady walk-up. Like her mum, she is steady on sheep but has all the strength in the world.
She is very confident and bold, quite outgoing in her manner and friendly to everyone. She is very easy to handle and teach and the type of dog who likes to be close and get a pat.
Her work is marvellous! She has brought in the best traits of both her parents and right from a little pup would break right out wide on sheep and be very quick to cover any breakaways. She has that old time ability to hold sheep well. She has style and walk up and strength but works in a steady, calm manner. We could not be happier with her ability and her progress.
Noonbarra Kellie as a young pup on sheep
Noonbarra Kora. (Noonbarra Kellie X Noonbarra Jackaroo) Kora is on a sheep station in New Zealand. When she was just 3 months old she was taken to work sheep. We have sold another Noonbarra Kelpie to NZ recently after the customer saw Kora. "I took Kora down to the sheepyards holding paddock to give her a run. I worked the sheep a little to get the fizz out of them then let Kora off her lead. She immediately eyed them and started walking up on them. Each time that they tried to break she covered them and held them. Incredible ability - very strong. I gave her about 3-4 minutes then called her off. I want to keep her keen - not tired. I was rapt with her first run. She is a lovely pup and we are so pleased with her. All the kids ( young adults ) enjoy her too so this is a bonus."
NOONBARRA CHLOE II Noonbarra Max X Noonbarra Amy
Red & Tan Female Born: 27th May 2005
Noonbarra
Chloe is a lovely gentle girl.
She is quite a tall female
and has a nicely structured body to work all day. She is very much like her dam, Noonbarra Amy. Chloe has turned into a
pretty,
very calm, quiet girl and is extremely smart. She shows a strong loyal nature and
likes to curl up with us. Although she often just lays at our feet and is very
calm, when required, she is incredibly fast and agile. On sheep she has a lot of
the old time traits such as style and distance but she also has force when
needed.
She is easy to train and likes to please. She has a very high degree of inherited natural ability. Very well behaved as a companion dog and when travelling. Chloe shows good distance and strong natural instinct on sheep. She is easy to train and likes to please. Good in the house and not excitable. She has a faithful nature and gets along with other dogs and animals.
Chloe shows good distance and strong natural instinct on sheep. She can handle almost any situation or stock. Both paddock & yard work. She has been a fantastic mother. She goes back to many of the great Kelpies, such as Phils Creek Sam, Bonorong Rex, Rockybar Smart, Glendon Claude and Liscannor Pace. Most of these are featured in the book: 'Kelpie Legends'.

NOONBARRA
BINDI III
Noonbarra Jackaroo
X Noonbarra Meg II
Red & Tan Female Born: 30th April 2006
This young female has some great Kelpies in her background. Noonbarra Flash, Noonbarra Tim, Noonbarra Max, Capree Cobb, Liscannor Pace and Noonbarra Judy are all strongly represented.
Bindi has very nice movement and has a well proportioned structure. She is a bit taller than her dam and she is very agile and in a similar type to our great old girl, Noonbarra Megan. Bindi often reminds us of the old type of kelpie with the longer body and the light tan on the face that is close to the masked Kelpies of the past.
Bindi is a very friendly, outgoing type of Kelpie and settles down well inside and when out. She is obedient and easy going. Gets on very well with other dogs.
Bindi shows strong natural ability on sheep with quite a bit of style and walk up. She can get distance or come in close, whichever is needed.
NOONBARRA JENNY II Noonbarra Max X Noonbarra Sarah
Red & tan Female Born: 7th May 2006
Jenny
is one of our younger females. She has all the wonderful working qualities of her two
parents and shows some absolutely exceptional work on sheep. Very keen and has
good concentration. Good power when needed but also knows how to settle sheep
and get a nice distance.
She is a fine, small build and very fast on her feet.
Beautiful dark coat and face and cat-like feet. She is extremely smart even by
our standards. Concentrates well when working and has a nice amount of eye and
style. Very faithful, like most of our dogs and likes to be with us. Travels
extremely well in a car and is good indoors.
She has been mated to our great old dog, Noonbarra Flash twice and we got some really exceptional working dogs from this mating. They bring in all the versatility of Flash with a little more style from Jenny. Her pups have gone to Switzerland and New Zealand as well as around Australia. We have recently kept Noonbarra Lily II from this breeding (2009).
BARCLAY'S QUEEN Midgbar Moss X Bazzars Hannah
Red & tan Female Born: 3rd August 2006
Barclays
Queen is an outgoing, tall, dark red & tan female with a wonderful temperament
and personality. Queen is a wonderful dog. She is always
happy and wants nothing more than just to be with you. A very faithful, devoted
type of dog.
She is also extremely agile and fast. Her and Noonbarra Megan would be on par for agility, so pups from Queen (especially combined with Noonbarra Jackaroo) would be worthwhile looking at for things like dog sports. On stock, she has good power and force on the tail end when needed, combined with a good amount of style. She responds well and is quick to learn. She is medium-tall for a female but the combination with Jackaroo will produce more small -medium sizes.
She has plenty of power on sheep but she also has excellent eye and steadiness. She can be very stylish when she works.
She has been mated to Noonbarra Max and twice to Noonbarra Jackaroo. We have been extremely pleased with the puppies from these matings.
She
goes back to many famous Kelpies including Liscannor Kay and Liscannor Marco
(both featured in the Famous Kelpies book). She also has four crosses of
Avenpart Zondo. Zondo produced Capree Watch and Avenpart Chreema, dam of the
legendary Phils Creek Sam. There's also the great Barambogie Mack and two
crosses of Glenlogie Lucky there.
We expect to breed her again to Noonbarra Jackaroo n the future. The puppies from previous litters have wonderful temperaments and are very friendly happy dogs that like to be with you and like to play. They can be energetic and fun as well as being able to settle down well and be very gentle and calm. They love interaction with people and are gentle with children. We have sold them for hard stock work as well as city pets. They proved to be excellent dogs inside and very devoted to their owners. They respond extremely well to commands and training and have a strong desire to please their owners.

very gentle natured, small female that just loves to be with us. She is
beautifully structured and a good looking Kelpie. She is affectionate and
faithful. A clever little dog and a nice companion.
She is by Noonbarra Max from Noonbarra Jessie so she brings in some of our best dogs there. She goes back to many famous Kelpies including multiple crosses of the great Liscannor Pace.

Red & tan Male Born: 24th April. 2008
Ned is a wonderful
sire that we have used over a number of recent females with fantastic results.
We have kept Noonbarra Rosie here. He goes back to many great old Kelpies including Glenlogie Lucky, quite a lot of old Avenpart Zondo, Barambogie Mack, Phils Creek Sam and Phils Creek Nap, Capree Watch etc. These famous Kelpies and others are featured in our book 'Kelpie Legends'.
He is a good sized male and he has a lovely gentleness that we admire. He fits in very well with our dogs here. We have great plans for him as a sire over a number of our young females. He has been mated to Noonbarra Chloe in 2009 and in 2010 as well as Noonbarra Penny, Noonbarra Pepper and others. We could not be more pleased with his pups.
He is a dog that is very easy to train and work with. We love his happy-go-lucky nature and his love of life. He makes a great companion and is a nice faithful dog, which are traits we always look for..
His work on sheep is very natural and he shows some excellent traits such as break-out and cover that we didn't expect to see. He is one of the best outside Kelpies we have purchased in years. He has an outgoing, friendly nature and is always a happy sort of dog.
Ameroo Ned. (Some photos taken when losing his winter coat.)
NOONBARRA MISTY Noonbarra Max X Noonbarra Amy
Red & tan Female Born: 27th May 2005
Noonbarra Misty is a small, fine female. She is another lovely
daughter of Noonbarra Amy. She is very loyal and
wants to be with you and go everywhere with you. One of the most faithful dogs
we own. She is very quiet natured and
just lies nearby whenever you are doing something and you hardly know she's
there until she comes up for a pat. A very gentle, kind natured dog.
Very good dog travelling in the car and calm and quiet inside the house. Misty is a very intelligent Kelpie. Customers love her gentleness. Misty is a full sister to Noonbarra Chloe II here. She is an excellent dog meeting strangers and loves a pat without jumping all over them. She is very good with children too and we often sell her pups to families with young children that need a very tolerant dog. Even though she always looks very laid back and relaxed, it shouldn't be mistaken for laziness. When required she can be a very fast and agile dog as well and her pups are well suited for many of the dog sports.
She has mated very well to Noonbarra Jackaroo in the past.

NOONBARRA HOLLY Noonbarra Max X Barclays Queen
Red & tan Female Born:
30th April 2008
A small, light framed, pretty, young female. She's a nice faithful type of girl who loves nothing more than a cuddle or a pat and just wants to be with you. She can be active, fast and agile when required but is also a dog that can settle and is good in the house or when travelling. She has a lot of the qualities of her mum, Barclays Queen.
She has good natural ability on sheep and is quite versatile. She is capable in yards or paddock and has no problem in coming in close & personal with sheep when needed. She is still a young female and is continually learning and gaining experience.
NOONBARRA BLONDIE Noonbarra Mick II X Noonbarra Megan
Cream Female Born: 15th February 2008
Noonbarra Blondie is a delightful young Kelpie with a great sense of fun and
play. She's always a happy dog with a zest for life. She's good around people
and other dogs and has a gentle type of nature. She's also very pretty
girl but unfortunately had the tip of her ear nipped as a puppy when playing
with other puppies and that now detracts from her looks a little.
Blondie is the only Kelpie we have from our great old Kelpie, Noonbarra Megan.
NOONBARRA KARLI Noonbarra Mick II X Noonbarra Cassie
Red & tan Female Born: 24th Jan 2008
Noonbarra Karli is a lovely young female by Noonbarra Mick from
Noonbarra Cassie. She has a friendly, faithful nature and likes to be part of
whatever is going on. She makes an excellent companion and worker. We are trying
to breed more Kelpies that are happy, outgoing types that are very affectionate
and have a zest for life and Karli is a good example of this.
Karli is a happy, outgoing Kelpie who has a great sense of play and is the type of dog that enjoys life. She was recently mated to Noonbarra Jackaroo. This is her first litter. She brings in some of our best dogs and her mother, Noonbarra Cassie has in the past been mated to Jackaroo with outstanding pups. Also Noonbarra Jackaroo has been mated number of times to Noonbarra Kellie (Full litter sister to Noonbarra Mick - Karli's dad) and they too have produced superb pups every time.
Noonbarra Karli
NOONBARRA
BEN VIII Noonbarra Jackaroo
X Kamileroy Queen
Black & tan Male Born: 15th June 2008
Ben is a fantastic young sire. We bred Jackaroo over Queen especially to get a future sire for the Stud. We wanted to use a female who still had the good old paddock skills like Jackaroo and we certainly didn't want to use a trial-type yard dog. Ben is a lovely dog with some of the best traits from both parents. He is still a young dog and is being put over an increasing number of females. .
He
has a happy, friendly personality and is an easy going sort of dog. He is quite
a big male and has wonderful structure and stamina.
His work on sheep is quite exceptional to say the least. Beautiful smooth, steady work. Some traits from Jackaroo and Queen of course but there seems a lot of Noonbarra Sarah there too. Good break-out and lovely distance on sheep and a smooth approach that tends to keep sheep steady and less stressed. But he has the power to force when required too. These traits are difficult to obtain in working dogs these days.
NOONBARRA EMMA Noonbarra Max X Barclays Queen
Red & tan Female Born: 30th April 2008
Emma
is lovely, gentle Kelpie. She's a small, light framed, pretty, young female.
Full sister to Noonbarra Holly. Both are very similar dogs. She's a nice
devoted and affectionate dog who likes to be with you. She is not too needy
though and is fine left on her own as well.
Like Noonbarra Holly, she can be fast and agile when required and her pups would be very suitable for customers interested in dog sports such as Agility Competition. She is a good travelling dog in a vehicle and a lovely house dog. The type of dog that enjoys having a cuddle and being with you without getting too excitable.
She has good inherited natural abilities on the sheep and is happy in yards or open paddock. Like most of our Kelpies, she has no problem in coming in close to the sheep when needed. Like Holly, she is still a young female and is continually learning and gaining experience.
NEW YOUNG KELPIES COMING UP IN STUD
Noonbarra Maggie II
Noonbarra Pepper
Noonbarra Lily II
Not all our Stud Kelpies have been listed here just some that have made a bit of a name for themselves over the years. Many others have won or placed in sheepdog trials.
However many of our good dogs never saw a trial ground but their owners thought very highly of their ability. Noonbarra Boris at Mudgee comes to mind, as does Noonbarra Dan who went to John Parrington. There was Noonbarra Kelly, one of our best forcing bitches, and Noonbarra Bonny who the owner later said "is simply a great bitch" and "a one in a lifetime dog". Then there was Noonbarra Jake who went to Lake Cargellico in 1985, Noonbarra Ram, Noonbarra Tracey, Noonbarra Debby, Noonbarra Toby and dozens of others.
