Meet Archie, my new family member.

We'll be following Archie's adventures as he grows and explores the world around him.  There will be plenty of mischief and lessons along the way and we will give you fact sheets and information to help anyone considering raising a puppy.

Hope you enjoy watching Archie grow up

Flick and Archie

Archie's home away from home

It's hard work raising a puppy- especially a high energy Border Collie. I no sooner brought home my young pup Archie when I discovered I was 6 weeks pregnant. I cant say the timing was particularly good- I was feeling tired and emotional and wondered how I would find the time to devote to Archie. What worried me the most was what would happen when the baby came home and Archie was only a year old....

Well, luckily Julija Kinghorn from Southern Cross Animal Stars came to the rescue and offered Archie a 'home away from home'. Julija has helped train and socialize Archie and welcomes Archie into her home whenever I need a break. Archie has a ball when he stays with Julija- not only does he get to rumble with her Border Collie, Flick but he has obedience lessons and does agility as well.

Southern Cross Animal Stars offer training services for puppies and adult dogs of all breeds and temperaments and most other animals big or small. They conduct private lessons in and around Melbourne and the trainers will come to you and give you one-on-one training tailored to you and your pet.
