About Novacoast Australian Shepherds
Novacoast Australian Shepherds is located on the beautiful south shore of Nova Scotia, Canada. We are one hour from the provincial capital city, Halifax, and thirty minutes from the picturesque coastline, including our favorite beaches: Crescent, Green Bay and Rissers. Nova Scotia, also referred to as Canada’s ocean playground, is world famous for its seafood, especially lobster, striking scenery, and the world’s highest tides at the Bay of Fundy. We are very proud to call Nova Scotia our home!
Novacoast Australian Shepherds is owned by AngelaSlauenwhite & Collin Veinot. We are situated on a farm in a small, rural community with our dogs, Bengals, chickens, goats, sheep , and horses. We both grew up surrounded by animals so it is no surprise to anyone who knows us that animals are such an important part of our lives today!
Collin brought home his first Australian Shepherd, Pepper, in 1996. Pepper won over our hearts and she is the reason that we have decided to get more involved in the breed. Pepper was an excellent dog and has taught us both so much. She was a very intense, focused, and willing worker, even in her old age!
Our dogs are actively involved in conformation and train in obedience, rally and herding. We have bred some of the top dogs in Canada in conformation, obedience, rally, and agility, including the #1 all-breed rally dog in 2022, breaking records as the highest-scoring rally obedience Australian Shepherd of all time in Canada, #1 Australian Shepherd puppy in Canada in 2011 and 2014, the #1 Australian Shepherd in CKC agility for many years, top dog in AAC agility all breed and the only dog all breed to earn the top agility title in the CKC and in the AAC and the #1 Australian Shepherd in rally obedience for 2016 and many other top Australian Shepherd and top 10 placementsover the years. Many of our dogs compete in conformation, agility, rally, obedience, tracking, scent detection, dock diving, barn hunt, sprinter, chase ability and disc dog and have earned many owner/handled titles. A Novacoast Aussie who is trained as a service/search and rescue dog was also involved in a search and rescue operation in Mexico after an earthquake. Needless to say, we are very proud of all of our Novacoast Aussies regardless if they are top show dogs or beloved family companions.
