Our family has raised Australian Cattle Dogs, or "heelers" as we first called them, since the early 1970's. We found it increasingly difficult to find working dogs that suited us, so in the 80's we set out to breed our own. Today we have several dogs in our program that exemplify what we need in a working and family dog. Dogs are selected on working ability on cattle, disposition and conformation as it relates to soundness. Many of our pups sell to repeat buyers or via referrals.

All our dogs are A.K.C. registered from breed-leading pedigrees backed by generations of working cattle dogs. In our efforts to produce genetically sound dogs, we have tested for PRCD (a common form of vision impairment), BAER Hearing Test,  and tested hips through OFA and Pennhip.  We have bred conformation champions, advanced obedience title holders & advanced agility titled dogs-but our main focus and joy stems from producing working dogs for cattlemen and women.

You can rest assured that the pups from our kennel receive the best in care and conditioning. Our protocol involves heavy socialization of pups, as well as a complete health program including vaccination and deworming. We feed Purina One dog food, finding it to be a great fit for our progranm in terms of quality and value. We also utilize personality testing to help find the pup that best suits your needs, and usually the pups are herding instinct tested on goats prior to leaving.

We keep our dogs heartworm-free by using Heartguard or Trifexis brand dewormers. These broad spectrum de-wromers also covers several other kinds of internal parasites.

 
We also recommend Purina ONE dog food. We find it to be an excellent source of nutrition for dogs of all ages.
