History of the name "Mageela"

Mageela is a word derived from the aboriginal language in the Arnhem Land region of the Northern Territory of Australia. It came from a billabong/water system that ran through Mudginberri Station where Joy spent seven years of her life. This is where Joy first started to breed Australian Cattle Dogs in 1981. She moved to Canning Vale, Perth, in 1991. Joy is the owner of Mageela Kennels and is on the property at all times.

All puppy, breeding, stud, and boarding enquiries are welcome.
