Westobri Kennels

Westobri Kennels was established in 1974 by Jill O’Brien and the late Terry O’Brien and is now co owned by Jill and daughter Kerryn. We are situated in Gawler in South Australia.

The primary focus of the kennel has been the promotion of the pedigree dog within the framework of the code of ethics of the canine controlling body and the respective breed clubs.

Both Terry and Jill grew up with pedigree dogs. Jill's family exhibited a german shepherd and west highland white terriers. Terry’s family had miniature longaired dacshunds.
