Sixteen Cedars Australian Shepherds is a small hobby kennel located on five acres just outside of Little Rock, Arkansas. "We" consist of 13 Aussies, 1 Siberian Husky and myself. I have been owned by Aussies since 1992 and became a member of ASCA at that time.
Sixteen Cedars began when my neighbor bred her bitch and I got my first Aussie puppy, Roobie, who I just recently lost at 14 years of age. Charlie was my second Aussie and was Roobie's half brother. Though Charlie never sired any pups, he was, in a sense, my foundation dog. I got hooked on obedience with him and that was my start in the "dog show" world. Most of my dogs were primarily pets until about 2001 when I started dabbling in the conformation ring. I've just bred my first litter and several of those pups will be starting in the conformation ring soon!
