Bella Hara - South

BellaHara...

From the movie "Scarlett", the sequel to "Gone with the Wind", comes the name of the Irish home of the O'Hara family, "Ballyhara".  We love the movie, "Gone with the Wind"; we share Scarlett's French/Irish ancestry; we love the romance of the antebellum era, and we're both a couple of strong, independent Southern "Daddy's Girls" at heart, sooo, we changed things around just a little to make it our own and came up with our kennel name... BellaHara.  BellaHara means, "Beautiful - it will do" in Spanish.  This is the name we chose for our kennel because it so epitomizes the stunning & intelligent breed of dogs we love, train, show and work-the Australian Shepherd.

The Australian Shepherd is our chosen breed and it is the ONLY breed we raise!  As committed fanciers of the breed, WE ARE ENTHUSIASTS OF STANDARD AUSTRALIAN SHEPHERDS ONLY and promote the future of our breed as it was originally intended!!!  We participate and show in both Australian Shepherd Club of America (ASCA) and American Kennel Club (AKC) events.  We are also active participants in our local AKC and ASCA kennel clubs.  "BellaHara" is an ASCA registered kennel name and we have two locations.  BellaHara North is located in western Nebraska and specializes in producing versatile dogs from the working bloodlines of ASCA Hall of Fame kennels, Mistretta, Gearhart and Las Rocosa.  Our location, BellaHara South, is located in central Oklahoma and focuses on producing red-factored black tris.  We are particular to the working bloodlines of ASCA Hall of Fame Kennel #63, Imagineer, as well as the show lines of Hall of Fame producing kennel, Briarbrook.  Here at BellaHara South, breeding is done on a very limited basis.  We are constantly striving to improve the quality of our own program and when litters are produced, we commit ourselves to producing "Best in Show" quality Australian Shepherds!  It's our goal to produce puppies who will make the best family companions as well as fine representatives for the breed ring.  You know you've got the "total package" when your Aussie can win in the ring, go home to put the cows away and then settle in at your feet in front of the fire and call it a day!!! 

We welcome you to the world of Bellahara South Australian Shepherds!  Bellahara South IS the Home of the Black Tri Beauties!  We love our precious furkids and spend our days reaping the rewards our Aussies bestow!  Our dogs are, first and foremost, our beloved companions.  We are committed fanciers of the Australian Shepherd, loving and promoting the breathtaking beauty and versatility of this amazing breed!...
