About Us
Citabria Australian Shepherds is a small hobby kennel located in Texas that is currently not breeding, but in the business of improving and caring for this wonderful breed. I have always loved dog sports and the excitement of competition. I adopted Rex, my first dog in college, with the hope of training him to be the next agility world team contender - well, that didn't turn out! Rex received a few novice agility titles, but much prefers spending his days as a couch potato. In 2011, I purchased my first Australian Shepherd and I haven't looked back! We believe the Australian Shepherd is a versatile, biddable breed and work to promote that while showcasing their talent in herding, agility, rally, obedience, dock diving, and conformation. |
Who Are We |
The name Citabria was inspired by James' hobby of flying airplanes. A Citabria is a type of airplane known as a taildragger. James loves these planes because they are more challenging to fly and evoke a more exhilarating response. Much like a Citabria aircraft, our aussies soar with graceful and easy movement. They too, require a dedicated and skilled "pilot." Basically, the name is just a fun combination of both of our hobbies!
