About CKC breeder of Australian Terriers - Nova Scotia's Sylvia Knight

I was born in Southampton, England and lived on Maybush Road, until I emigrated to Toronto, Canada in 1974. Seven years later, I moved to Halifax, Nova Scotia, bought a house where I could finally have a dog in my life. For 15 years, my miniature poodle was my shadow.

I met my other love - Michael and we had two children. Now that they are grown and left home I can devote full time energy to dogs. First, I rescued a Wheaten Terrier, then I thought he was lonely and fell in love with an Australian Terrier puppy.

"Have dogs will travel!"
I had always wanted to experience "the puppy thing" and decided to apply for a Kennel name and registered MAYBUSH Australian Terriers with the CKC. My male breeding dog is from England - I brought him back in cabin with me at 14 weeks old. He is named Tailer on account of his beautiful Tail!

My other passion involves Healing Energy. Health Kinesiology and Radionics are both a very intricate part of my life. I apply these modalities to animals and people. This powerful, alternative method of healing has had amazing results. Health and life style is an incredible priority in our life. My dogs live "in house" and travel with us whenever possible.

"Life is about choices"
I feed cooked meats and vegetables and use titer testing to determine the need for vaccines etc. I believe in minimal intervention and use of drugs.

Life is about choices. One of my choices is to promote the breed of Australian Terriers in Nova Scotia and beyond - I love them so much. My husband, Michael, our dogs and I live along the ocean in beautiful Bayport just outside of Lunenburg Nova Scotia.
