About Us

We are the granddaughter of an Australian grazier, and the grandson of a Turkish farmer. Together we now share a love for the land, livestock , working dogs and our own family.

Our prefix, Tribocie (Try-bo-see) is namesake to our first working sheep dogs, three border collies. Our heritage and our cultural ties led us to the Shepherd Dogs of Turkey. Over the last decade we have travelled to family properties, and toured widely across Turkey, Cyprus and Europe researching the dogs and their shepherds, importing and looking to diversify and strengthen the breed here in Australia.

On our farm in the Hawkesbury, NSW we run a variety of livestock. It is here that we can breed and raise dogs on the land, for the land. Being a family kennel we can also shape suitable pups to be people oriented companions. Many of our breeding are adaptable enough to work with stock, enjoy the company of their family and tear up the show ring all in a days work.

Ashley is a Utility Group judge, and we also enjoy occasionally participating in the sport of dog showing. It allows us to display our breed to many people, and it also is an excellent way to travel, meet and network; as well as a fun, social day out. We have learnt so much about dogs in general through this sport, and enjoy the company of like minded people. We do not define our breed or our dogs by their awards, by the kennel councils definition, or by a judges opinion.

We are also lucky to be owned by a few other beautiful breeds, including a Lagotto, Tibetan Mastiff and Central Asian Ovcharka, and we assist with the rescue and rehoming of livestock guardian breeds when needed.
