Situated in Port
Elizabeth, South Africa, Mackland strives to find the perfect
balance between conformation, companionship and the ultimate
performance dog! Our dogs all have succeeded in multiple disciplines
- such as Agility, Dog Jumping, Obedience, Working trials, Flyball,
Carting and Conformation/ Breed. After struggling with conventional
methods for a few years, alternate means of training were
investigated. The positive reinforcement method took our fancy, and
we began rewarding for good behaviour. Clicker training was
added to the training programme, and suddenly we had a recipe for
success..! We strive to create drive in our dogs, through play and
reward, and our ambition is to maintain a good ranking in Agility in
South Africa at all times, and to preserve a working bond with each
of our dogs.
Initially formed for our working dogs that
were not bred for the breed ring, but rather for obedience,
or farm work, our family grew to include
dogs from top conformation lines, while still maintaining an
exceptional working ability. Please feel free to
contact us. We can refer you to a breeder or trainer if we
are unable to help you. |
