OZI Home is registered at FCI/LKF nr.18/2022 in March 2022. We are located in a beautiful place -Sigulda, Latvia, few minutes walk from Gauja national park.
History
In childhood, there were always dogs by my side – a mix, a German shepherd, later also an American cocker spaniel and a long-haired chihuahua mix. In 1997, I noticed an Australian cattle dog in books and thought that I would like one for myself in the future. As a child, I dreamed of a show dog, and in 2015 I started to do a research about Australian cattle dog breed. In 2018, a “dog from the book” joined our family – Australian cattle dog Bradley (Bradley Simpatija), who is registered as 3rd breed representative in Latvia.
Now
Every two years our family has grown.
We can be proud of four beautiful, talented and cheerful adult dogs, who live a healthy, active and interesting life, following all welfare rules.
The dogs have been socialized, passed behavioral tests, have undergone a series of health tests and genetic tests, successfully participate in exhibitions throughout Europe, participated in RallyObedience training and competitions, tried the the agility and nosework training, as well as passed NHAT herding instinct tests and learned tricks such as, for example , ride a skateboard.
2024 is a special year, because another Australian cattle dog female, born in our kennel, has joined the family, so we can follow the development of the dog from the first seconds of the puppy life.
Mission
The basis of everything is to breed healthy, psychologically stable, socialized Australian cattle dogs, following breed standards. We promote the popularity of the breed, as well as the understanding of the breed. Every puppy we breed is placed in responsible and loving hands.
Values
Love and passion for Australian cattle dogs – the greatest value. We are committed to the highest standards of dog welfare and health. Trust, responsibility and excellence are the core of our values. We believe that every dog is unique, so the puppies are chosen as best as possible for the new owners and their goals – both in sports and in every other part of life.
