Pavesi kennels was established in 1950 by Stanley Norman and Elsa Park breeding primarily Australian Kelpies and later Australian Cattle Dogs. The kennel was named after the street in Guildford, Australia, in which Norm and Elsa lived. Norm and Elsa's oldest son Alan and his wife Julie, manage the Australian Cattle Dogs for the past 30 years, while Norm maintained the breeding side of the Kelpies. The love for Australian Cattle Dogs runs strong in the Park's blood, as Alan and Julie's daughter Melissa, has established her own kennels which is named Dooncho. Pavesi kennels started Ophthalmic testing for PRA in 2001, in which seven dogs up to the age of 12 years were tested, all were certified as clear. In 2003 we started Opti gen DNA testing for PRA and received excellent results.
Pavesi kennels continue to produce quality Australian Cattle Dogs that are consistent place getters in the show ring, but most importantly producing sound puppies for loving families.
