Why "Garrison"?

The name for our kennel comes from the community we live in. Located in beautiful Nova Scotia, Canada, Halifax is situated on a peninsula adjacent to the Atlantic Ocean. Originally settled by First Nations and known as Chebucto, Halifax was garrisoned- claimed and developed into a fortified town by the British in 1749. Halifax has one of the last remaining star shaped fortresses in the world which is one of Parks Canada most visited National Historic Site. During our university days, my husband worked there as a historical animator, and we still love the history, the views and the sense of heritage of the fortress.

Aussies are an intelligent, active breed. They need a job and if you don't give them one, they will find one - and it might be something you would rather they didn't do! You can learn more about the Aussie personality and breed standard here.
