Tullaview has been a name long associated with our first breed, the Border Collie. The kennel was established in 1975 by Patrice & Gary Knight, then based in Victoria. In later years, and the subsequent marriage of Patrice & Robert Smith, the kennel was to take on the additional name of 'Tullagale' as a combination of Patrice and Robert's respective kennels of Tullaview Border Collies and Loringale Shetland Sheepdogs. Over the years our Border Collies have exceeded our wildest dreams, with a proud record of Best In Show (All Breeds and Specialty), Specialty Challenge, Royal Best of Breed, and a number of In Show awards at major Australian Royal Shows to their credit.
Tullaview has since relocated north, and since 2006 has been a mother-daughter partnership based in Sydney, Australia. In this time we have been involved in owning and campaigned Shetland Sheepdogs, Pulis and Miniature Wire-Haired Dachshunds in partnership, whilst also returning to our beloved Border Collies in recent years.
