Meadowlawn Australian Shepherds is a mother-daughter team located near Cologne, MN
(about 45 minutes west of the Twin Cities). Combined, we have over 40 years of experience
in the Australian Shepherd breed. We compete in AKC & ASCA and have been successful at
local & national levels. We strive for soundness in health and conformation, breeding only
select individuals whose qualities will contribute to the betterment of the breed. We
are active members of ASCA, USASA, and UMASC. Kim has volunteered her time as the
Treasurer for UMASC for 23 years, and was President for 2006 & 2007.
Meadowlawn was established in 1979 with the purchase of two Aussies: Ch. Meadowlawn's
Red Whiskey, CD and Meadowlawn's Blue Shi-Ann, CD. Whiskey was a beautiful red merle
male whose pedigree consisted of primarily Los Rocosa. He attained his Championship and
CD on the very same day. Annie was a striking blue bitch who was sired by Ch. Jayhawk of
Coppertone. Annie accumulated major points in Conformation, and finished her CD.
Whiskey and Annie were never bred together, but with some lovely outcrosses with Annie and
some beautiful bitches bred to Whiskey, Meadowlawn made its mark. Whiskey and Annie
made a beautiful foundation for Meadowlawn Kennels.
Our second foundation dog came from Calgary Kennels in Arizona. Dillon, Ch. Free Spirit of
Calgary, was sired by Ch. Hallmark of Windermere, and was out of Samantha of Windermere.
Dillon was a typee individual possessing great disposition and flawless movement. Dillon
easily attained his Championship and was awarded Top Champion Male for UMASC year-end
awards in 1982 & 1983.
In 1986, Kim took a break from showing to raise her three kids; David, Brian, and Sarah. She
still remained active as club Treasurer for UMASC and bred a few litters for future show
prospects. David and Brian enjoyed the company of the Aussies, but were never interested in
the showing aspect. Sarah, on the other hand, took to dogs and dog shows like a duck to
water. She tagged along with Kim to numerous shows and exhibited in the pee-wee handling
class with Meadowlawn's Brooke Be Good, a Dillon daughter. Sarah, of course, was never
satisfied with only being in one class and always questioned why she couldn't run around the
ring just one more time. It was with this that we knew Sarah would become hooked to
showing dogs.
Sarah grew up in the Junior Showmanship ring, and left quite a mark. the 2001 ASCA
nationals, Reserve Junior Handler in Finals at the 2000, 2002, and 2003 ASCA nationals, ASCA
500 club for 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, and 2004, Best Junior Handler at the 2003 USASA
nationals, 2004 Westminster qualifier and pulled for final 10 in group, and 1999-2000 High
Point Overall in ASCA year-end junior standings. Sarah has now taken all that she has
learned from the juniors ring and puts it into showing her own dogs as well as clients. Sarah
also recently completed her first judging assignment, having been asked to Judge the 2009
ASCA National Junior Finals in Colorado in Oct, 2009.
Kim and Sarah have now teamed up to work towards becoming a Hall Of Fame kennel and
continue producing quality individuals with the emphasis on sound health, temperament, and
structural correctness.
