About Taerlin

Taerlin Border Collies was founded in 1995 with the purchase of Monifieth Storms Star ("Star") and Australian Champion Windygyle Hill Ograce ("Dazzle") from the well known Windygyle Kennels. Terry was brought up with Dobermans as a child and then at the age of 13 was introduced to showing dogs; showing Dobermans, Miniature Pinschers and Dalmatians. He also competed in Junior Handler classes at shows. Caroline grew up in Country NSW and lived on the land and always been around animals. Together we decided to get a Border Collie and from that day, the love of breed has us hooked.
