Reddenblu Registered Permanent is a small breeding kennel with just two or three high quality
bitches and our stud/show dogs which have ranked top in the breed in Canada. We breed on a
very limited basis assuring quality and not quantity.
This unquestionably, devoted, intelligent, and versatile breed with it's origin in Australia, is very
much a passion and part of my life as well as my families.
We have strived to adhere to the breed standard in our breeding program and have bred with
integrity always striving for healthy minds in beautiful healthy bodies.
We have been involved in training and exhibiting our ACDs since the early 1980's and we have
enjoyed some wonderful successes. We have bred dogs that are used in herding, agility, flyball,
tracking, frisbee, obedience, and some work with the hearing impaired, while others have made it
into the movies and tv.
But mostly our dogs have made breed history in the conformation ring and in the herding arena.
All of our own cattle dogs are all trained and shown by Rebekka and myself, Joyce.
Our goals have always been to produce healthy, vigorous ACDs which will share a long life with
their humans, and remain virtually free of disease and pain...living their life to the fullest whether
it be in the show ring, at work, or at play.
We care about each pup we bring into this world. This pup is a part of our extended family when
it goes to its new home. We take steps to qualify each new prospective owner, to assure they are
ACD material. We never want one of our pups to land in a shelter or rescue. We are here for the
lifetime of your dog as support, advice and to help out with problems which may be encountered
in the training and care of your dog.
All of our puppies / dogs are sold with a health guarantee/ written contract. We take positive
steps to ensure that your Reddenblu pup will be a source of joy not sorrow .
We test the parents for genetic diseases, research pedigrees, and breed only from healthy,
intelligent, loyal, biddable versatile stock. Oh yes, our dogs have plenty of herding
instinct..parents have all been worked on our sheep. We also aptitude test all of the puppies,
and measure their angulations of front and hind limbs to help assure balance and correct and
effortless movement, needless to say they are socialized and handled right from day one.
Since we are holistic breeders our ACDs are fed a unprocessed diet, and all are treated with
homeopathic nosodes instead of vaccinations. We welcome your inquiries!
A bit more about us: Joyce is a Doctor of natural medicine, a herbalist, an author, and is well
known for her international lectures on natural medicine. Joyce(and the family) also own and
operate a successful family run boarding kennel business.
Rebekka is also an author, a college graduate (home schooled for high school with a private
school). She is a competitive martial artist specializing in Tae Kwon Do/ kick boxing. Her 'real'
job is as an exercise physiologist.
She loves to practice traditional style archery with her re curve bow, plays guitar, full kit rock
drums, dejembe & the Celtic bohran, and sings. She'll occasionally play in a band. She has rode
horses since she was 4 yrs old, loves to fly fish, surf, hike & explore/ travel, loves being a free
spirit and likes to live life to it's fullest.
Rebekka's devoted to her family, her love of animals and travel . She also works with the auric
energy fields using the ancient art of Rieki & enjoys living / practicing the peaceful way of life
with Buddhism & Cree Native beliefs. She has had the pleasure of taking part in sacred native
ceremonies, sharing the peace pipe, journeying, and taking part in sweat lodges. Rebekka's all
time favourite spiritual leader is her friend Hugh Walker. An amazing cree native with wisdom
and love that is endless.
Being practitioners of complementary medicine for humans we also employ our healing methods
with all creatures, including the holistic rearing of their ACD litters.

FACT: Flag - City of Thunder Bay
In 1972, Mayor S. Laskin wished to promote the City of Thunder Bay by having a
distinctive City flag. A small committee was formed and an invitation went out in the form
of a contest for submission of a flag design.
The winning design was submitted by Mr. Cliff Redden(Of Reddenblu Kennels), a local
citizen.
The flag is of standard size - one unit in width/two units in length. The design forms a
golden sky from a sun behind the green Sleeping Giant, sitting in the blue waters of Lake
Superior. The red maple leaf is the signification of Canada. The green and gold also
represent the City's colours.
