About Us



My journey with purebred dogs began in 1996,
when I purchased my very first purebred Bearded Collie. 
I was instantly captivated by his delightful personality, boundless enthusiasm,
and gentle love for everyone he met — people and animals alike.

In 1999, I welcomed my first bitch, and after completing
my ANKC Breeder’s Exam, I proudly bred our
first litter under the Edinglen prefix in 2004.

Since then, our Bearded Collies have achieved remarkable
success in the show ring, including multiple Best in Show awards.
We’ve also been honoured to own the #1 Bearded Collie in Australia
for several years. As a licensed Bearded Collie judge in both
Australia and internationally,
I’m passionate about upholding the breed’s standard.

Our dedication to the breed extends beyond conformation showing
— our Beardies also enjoy activities such as
Herding, Nosework, Trick Training, and Obedience,
showcasing their intelligence and versatility.

Over the years, we’ve been proud to export
Edinglen-bred Bearded Collies to Europe, the USA, Asia,
and New Zealand, with several now holding
French and New Zealand Championship titles.

Our Havanese Journey

I first met a Havanese in 2015, when my long-time friends and
Bearded Collie mentors brought home their very first one.
I was instantly smitten — he was so outgoing, friendly with everyone
(human and canine alike), and absolutely charming.
I loved his bright expression and his beautiful,
compact build — such an irresistibly attractive little dog!

The Havanese is a sturdy, hardy member of the Toy Group.
They are cheerful, clown-like, and full of fun —
always ready for a game and quick to make friends with other animals.
With their joyful nature and love of life, I soon discovered
they shared many similarities with my beloved Beardies.
It was no surprise that I quickly fell in love with the breed.

Over the following years, I immersed myself in research,
learning everything I could about Havanese temperament,
care, and history. The more I read, the more convinced
I became that this breed would fit perfectly into our family.

By 2021, I decided it was time to start seriously
looking for our first Havanese.

In 2022, my admiration for the breed only grew —
especially after seeing stunning examples overseas, including Bono,
the Westminster Toy Group winner, who truly captured my imagination.
I promised myself that “one day soon” a Havanese would join us.

That “one day” arrived sooner than expected.
By chance, I saw a delightful young Havanese puppy being shown locally
— his lively, elastic gait and confident carriage caught my eye immediately.
Thanks to the quick thinking of a dear friend, and the generosity of his breeder,
that puppy came home with us.

‘Ralph’ has since exceeded all our expectations,
becoming one of the most successful Havanese in Australian history.
He embodies everything I adore about the breed
— joy, spirit, and a heart as big as his smile.

Today, as our last beloved Bearded Collie enjoys her well-earned retirement at home,
our focus has turned to the wonderful world of Havanese.
We’re excited to continue learning, showing, and sharing this delightful breed — one that brings endless laughter, love, and companionship into our lives.
