Defisja Kennels isn't really a kennel at all. It's a loving home that includes 13 Australian Cattle Dogs and 2 mix-breed dogs (along with 6 cats, a 75-gallon aquarium with pettable fish, a few cows, a bunch of sheep, and a couple of very crazy people). The name of Defisja is merely used as a prefix to identify the few puppies we have produced over the years, as well as being used as a collective label for all the wonderful members of our canine family. This web site is intended as a way to "show off" our canine companions. We also hope that this site can be a tool for newcomers in learning about the breed, finding links to other ACD related sites, and even learning about responsible dog purchasing, ownership, and breeding.
First of all, you're bound to be wondering about the name "Defisja." After all, it is rather odd. But it has a very special meaning to us. It is derived from the names of the three foundation dogs, all of whom are now deceased, who first got us into the crazy but rewarding world of dog sports. Their names were Deva, Fist, and Jaz. Hence, De-fis-ja. Please check out the Our Deceased Dogs link to see these beloved friends who are waiting for us at the Rainbow Bridge.
