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 it's 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 Angela Slauenwhite & Collin Veinot.  We are situated on a farm in a small, rural community with our dogs, cats, horses and sheep.  We both grew up surrounded by animals so it is no surpise 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 has been and continues to be an excellent dog and has taught us both so much.  She is a very intense, focused and  willing worker, even today in her old age! 

We are members of the Canadian Kennel Club (CKC), the Canadian National Australian Shepherd Association (CNASA), the Australian Shepherd Club of America (ASCA), the South Shore Kennel Club (SSKC) and we also have our own rally  group that meets weekly to practice rally o and formal obedience. 

Our dogs are actively involved in conformation, obedience, rally o, agility and herding.
