Hi, my name is Tarah Spyve (nee Hunt). I live on site, with my husband Brent and our children, Fern (7) and Ash (3). I have 3 Border Collies, pictured, Blaze (3), Azmin (2) and Ember (6). We also have a cat, chickens and ducks that can often be seen when you visit our place.
My story with dogs begins when I was 16, when I was finally given permission from my parents to get a puppy. I wasn’t allowed to just get any puppy though, my conditions for getting a dog were that I had to research breeds to find one suitable for the family and take it to obedience classes – amazing how my life has now become so involved with dogs!
I researched and visited various breeds to find which would best suit my family over the summer holidays – I started with wanting a border collie, and went back to one – but at least I knew it was the right dog for us.
18 years later Shine (black and white Border Collie) is no longer with us (she reached a grand old age of 16.5 and passed away June 2018). Her daughter, Asta, a blue and white Border Collie has also since passed over the rainbow bridge 🌈 🐕 🐾
