About us...

My whole childhood, I have lived with different breeds of dogs going from Brittany spaniel, american cocker to Pekingese.
​
My love for Aussies has started in 2009 when I got my first pet/performance Australian shepherd. With her, I learned a lot on behavior, versatility and the affectionate side of the breed. I also expanded my horizons by doing obedience, agility, frisbee and herding with her.

More I was learning on the breed, more I was fascinated. After a few years of research on the breed and on hall of fame/ethical breeders, I was perfectly up to task for new challenges ; showing and breeding dogs. I contacted Ellen at Thornapple Aussies kennel who trusted me with all her heart by sending me an exceptional show quality male. With him, I've learned everything! I did handling, obedience and rally classes. I also went to seminars on breeding and behavioral problems with dogs.

I have been showing dogs since 2013. I have led my dogs to get their Canadian championship with limited showing. I am a proud owner/handler who is devoted for the breed.
Where are we?
AppleStream Aussies a small kennel located in Québec, Canada, more precisely in the Portneuf area. The name of the kennel was inspired by the river running along the backyard of our property, "rivière aux pommes". Moreover, my two foundation dogs come from Thornapple Aussies kennel and I thought the link between the two was perfect.
