As of yesterday, we have made it through 15 years of marriage!!?

We are proud of what we have achieved so far & look forward to what is to come.

It has definitely been a rollercoaster, thank you to those who have supported us, and our little business along the way!

The last 12 months have been particularly busy but please bare with us, the best is yet to come.

Hello!!

Apologies for the lack of activity on socials the last few weeks.

The boys and I, along with our 3 beautiful mares, have just returned home from our first ever PC Camp!

We are so proud of how the boys and their horses handled the week, especially considering they've never ridden more than 2 days in a row, let alone an intensive 7 day camp! Safe to say, the four of them were exhausted & very glad to get home.

Once I get through the 10,000 loads of washing and unpack the various vehicles, I hope to return to a bit of normalcy!

There is a lot going on at home that Im excited to share in due course. Meanwhile, foals are due soon, and we have some new puppies...so spring is definitely here.

We are also keen to continue more filming for WDTO!

💗🐴

Our Story

G'day. We are Jamie and Mani Sturrock. We own and operate Craiglea Working Dogs and Stock Horses, a family business based near Drillham, on the Western Darling Downs of Queensland, Australia.

We breed and train quality Border Collie working dogs and performance horses for work and competition. We offer working dog pups, started working dogs and performance horses for sale. We also conduct working dog schools and lessons year round, at our place or yours.

We manage a corporate owned beef cattle operation, running 2,000 cattle across several grazing properties. We run Wagyu and Angus breeder cattle, growing our progeny out to heavy feeder weight. We also trade cattle according to the season, and run a small flock of Dorper cross sheep.

We use our working dogs and horses every day to make our living. We also enjoy competing on weekends in cattle dog trialling, sheep dog trialling, campdrafting, polocrosse, stockman's challenges and kid’s events to name a few. We have two young sons, Jack and Toby, who are very involved in our business, raising pups and riding their horses.
