Description:	Austmans is the affix of Kimberly Jebson & Mark Plummer. We are based in Lincolnshire, U.K. Both of us have been involved with animals all our lives - Kimberly with dogs & horses and Mark comes from a farming background - but it was when Kimberly began working at the Garregddu Kennels (Edith Miller) back in 1993 that our love for the 'world of dogs' really took hold. In 1995 we acquired Garregddu Phantom at Austmans, a German Shepherd bitch. The following year Curdeleon Lady in Red at Austmans, our first Cattle Dog, arrived. The same year our affix was granted - 'Austmans' is simply the 'Aust' from Australian & the 'man' from German (our first 2 breeds). In 1997 our long awaited Alaskan Malamute arrived, Hyteton Ka-lena of Austmans. We are both members of the Australian Cattle Dog Society of GB & the Alaskan Malamute Club of the UK. Both of us are Championship show judges of ACDs and Mark also for Malamutes. Mark is recognised by the ACDSGB & AMCUK on their 'B' judging lists, and Kimberly is recognised on the ACDSGB's 'A3' list and the AMCUK 'C' list. Kimberly has also served on the ACDSGB committee and for 2 years as their Secretary, retiring in March 2005 due to work commitments. Kimberly is now the Editor of the ACDSGB Quarterly Newsletter and writes a Breed Notes column for 'Our Dogs' weekly dog paper. With our breeding we have aimed to breed dogs that fit the breed standard in all respects, as well as being of correct conformation it is important to us that they are of sound temperament and good health. All our dogs have the relevant health tests done before being bred from and we pride ourselves on following the 'Ethical Breeding Guides' laid down by our Breed Society/Clubs. Due to this we have successfully bred Conformation Winners (including a championship show Group Winner), Working dogs in both ACDs & Malamutes, successful Agility & Flyball dogs, and of course well balanced family Companions.
