Diane Myers has been raising and training Australian Kelpies for over 20 years. Her extensive experience with the breed has given her invaluable knowledge in both training as well as breed characteristics, genetics, and pedigrees. She has had many opportunities to learn from and work alongside some of the most renowned Kelpie and Cattle Dog trainers in the country.  She has experience with many other herding breeds but fell in love with the Kelpie breed's tenacity and spirit long ago.

Diane loved dogs and horses from her earliest years and has passed her knowledge and love for these animals on to her own children and grandchildren. The name "Jumakola" comes from a combination of her own children's names. Along with raising and training Kelpies, Diane is also an accomplished photographer and western gear artisan.  

Here Diane is with her first dog, "Dagwood" about 1964 at their ranch in California.

Taylor Ranch Trial, McArthur, CA. 2008, Diane competes with "Hoss" who she sold at the Red Bluff Bull Sale that following January.
