IN THE
NORTHERN TERRITORY
OF AUSTRALIA
Our association with Australian Cattle Dogs began when we purchased our first dogs in 1987.
We then went on to buy a Stumpy in 1991
in 1987 a Silky completed our breed 'trio'.
We are situated on 5.5 acres of land in a place called Humpty Doo, just south of Darwin
in the Northern Territory.
The climate here is tropical. We only have two seasons. A very humid 'wet season' and a contrastingly dusty 'dry season'. The average temperature variation is only minimal all year,
from about 25-34 degrees C.
We live in 'Crocodile Dundee' country
with all the wonders of nature on our doorstep.
TAGETARL is one of only a handful of kennels in the world who can consistently offer all four colours of Cattle Dog. That is, 'blue', 'blue speckled',
'blue mottled' and 'red speckled'.
Over the years we have titled well over
50 individual Australian Champions.
We are the first and only kennel in the N.T. to have owned and trained a dual titled Cattle Dog,
who excelled not only in the show ring
but at obedience as well.
We are the kennel that pioneered Australia's rarest breed, the Stumpy Tail Cattle Dog in the N.T. Owning the first Stumpy on the full register,
Kakadutara Rhythm Blues (now deceased).
TAGETARL Kennels have breed over 100 litters consisting of our three breeds.
Many of our dogs are competing sucessfully in the conformation ring in all states of Australia.
We also have Cattle Dogs and Stumpies working on cattle stations throughout the N.T.
Queensland and Western Australia.
At present our aim is to continue breeding and showing top quality dogs.
