Welcome to Glen Ey Australian Shepherds! We are located in Auburn, WA, USA. We have owned Aussies since 1984. I really enjoy the "boys", so right now have only male Aussies. That means that I don't have litters of puppies available for sale. :-) However, I am pleased to offer Merlin at stud to approved bitches. I have been lucky enough to be owned by Australian shepherds (and an Irish Setter and Brittany). I got my first dog in 1972 (the setter), took her to obedience classes, and was hooked on dogs! I got my Brittany in 1976. Both dogs earned their CD (Companion Dog) obedience titles through AKC. While showing the Brittany at an ASCA show in 1983, I saw my first Aussie and decided that one day I would have one. Only a few months later, a friend called me to ask if I would take a dog to train. It turned out that dog was a blue merle Aussie - my Lucky. After that, I was definately an Aussie person, and have owned five additional Aussies! |

Topgun's There Can Be Only One, RE, HIC (Duncan) ~ 4/2/96 to 4/3/08
We are so saddened by the loss of this beloved boy. We found he had malignant tumors on March 4, 2008. After just over 4 weeks of spoiling and loving it was time for us to let him go. I am so thankful for the time we had to say good-bye. There is never enough time with our fur-kids. We will always miss you, Duncan.
Duncan was my long-awaited red dog. Thanks to Jeany Llapitan of Topgun kennels
for this beautiful boy! He was one of the smartest dog's I have ever owned, and always loves to have a good time!

Our Boys Having Fun!
In Jan. 2004, we had a rare "big" snowstorm! The boys had a blast playing in all that neat white stuff! Below Merlin and Magic are having fun running in our friend Jan's 30 acre field. Such happy boys! Thanks to Jan for the great action shot!
Our First ASCA National
In 1993, the National was held in Puyallup, WA, nearly at our doorstep. We had a blast! Lucky and Di placed 3rd in Brace, and Andrew made every cut, with a 2nd out of the Open Black Class at a Pre-National show. Sadly, all three of these wonderful dogs have passed on, and we miss them greatly. From left to right are:
Happy-Go-Lucky Lad, ASCA CDX, AKC CD, HC, CGC (Lucky). Lucky was my first Aussie, and very talented in obedience. He was rescued from a vet school that planned to use him for the next anatomy class. I am so very happy he was part of my life. We were a good team.
Legacy Lane's Antique Diamond, ASCA CD, HC, CGC (Di). Di was something of a "wild thing." She loved playing frisbee more than anything else, and would have played until she dropped. She was also extremely intelligent, and had a VERY large vocabulary!
Christmas Edition of Windermere, AKC/ASCA CD, HC, CGC (Andrew). Andy was sweet, elegant and beautiful, with a spirit to match. I am so grateful for the 11 1/2 years we had together. He was a very special boy.
