   Club Member Bio - Albert and Anna Hewson - ThundeRun Australian Shepherds
Albert and I are recently retired from the life of farming.  We had a select herd of approximately 30 horses, all of which were home-grown.  The majority were brood mares that produced 6 to 10 exciting youngsters each year, some of which we would exhibit in shows in Southern Ontario, including the Exhibition and Royal Winter Fair.  However, no matter how nice all your animals are, you can only show so many!

Striving for quality, our stock carried the bloodlines of world-renowned animals.  Our goal was to produce an animal who was competitive in the conformation ring and could successfully do what it was bred for.  We had stopped hitching but continued to strive for the same heads-up, free-moving ability in our foals.  We used the same standards to create versatility in our dogs.

Having been interested and involved in dogs for as long as I can remember, our family fell in love with a Siberian Husky fostered for Canine Vision Canada.  My involvement evolved into exhibiting Siberian Huskies in 1985 and establishing the "ThundeRun" prefix in 1988.  My first Siberian litter arrived in July 1990 which resulted in 2 owner-handled Champions.  Australian Shepherds have been our breed now since 1996 and we pride ourselves in being breeder-owner-handlers.
