About

Malicloy Bernese Mountain Dogs was originally established by myself, Ben Taylor in 2004, but was joined by Holly when we married in the Spring of 2009. Together we live in country South Australia, approximately 40kms north of the city of Adelaide on an 80 acre proerty called "Malicloy Park". Lewiston is on the plains of Adelaide, close to the Barrossa Valley known for it's great wine!!

Dogs and Horses are our life, and our aim is simple...to produce the best possible Bernese and Clydesdales, that stay true to type, whilst also retaining their marvellous friendly nature. Quality is of extreme importance to us.

The kennel name "Malicloy" was derived by using two letters from Bens first two dogs, Max and Eli. Contributing to the first part of the prefix, 'Mali', while (Ben's Mum) Ruth’s two dogs, Claude and Leroy, contributed to the last part, "cloy', hence in 2004 Malicloy Kennels was derived.
