Our story began some 15 years ago, albeit in a small way, on the East Rand. 2 years later, Shaggy Chic found its name, its vision and values, and its home in Crowthorne Midrand; home to the business for some 9 years.
Now located in the heart of Kyalami Agricultural Holdings, our new 2.6-hectare property offers spacious facilities for home from home boarding, day care as well as a beautiful, private dog park and function venue.
About us
About Eileen
Dogs have always featured in my world. Growing up, a little rescue cross breed named Sheba, would help me traverse the challenges that life presented. She was my constant companion and confidante and taught me so much about loyalty and love.
Fast track to my twenties, when a passion for shaggy dogs, led me to my breed. My Bearded Collies have shaped my world one way or the other, since then, and we have shared so much together, enjoying success at the highest levels, in the conformation show ring as well as therapy work, obedience training and Canine Good Citizen qualifications.
​
In the past 2 years we welcomed our first Havanese, to the family; smaller than Beardies but with the same joie de vivre, they head up public relations and enjoy regular playdates with some of our smaller visitors.
As my greatest teachers and constant companions, it is safe to say that there will always be a shaggy dog at my side!
