Harry McKenzie was an immigrant from Scotland.
A hard-working shepherd in the Scottish Highlands,
he quickly established his reputation on a high country station
on the slopes of the Southern Alps.
Harry was an outstanding dog trialist.
New Zealanders began this unusual sport at Hakataramea, South Canterbury, in 1889,
only 13 years after the first recorded public sheep-dog trials at Bala, Wales.
The first trials in the North Island were at Porangahau in 1892.
Harry McKenzie met Margaret Brennan through mutual friends.
Margaret also had a love of dogs and would often take her daughter, Susan,
with her to watch the sheep dog trials.
They married in 1918.
Margaret and Harry had 2 children:
Charlotte b. 1920
Georgia b. 1922.

For reflection ...
Leisure is an important part of good self-care.
Harry loved sheep dog trials.
How do we spend our leisure time?
