Spader Australian Cattle Dogs
Home of the K9 Cowboys!TM
Working Australian Cattle Dogs (Blue & Red Heelers) with excellent dispositions, conformation & ability from top herding AKC bloodlines.
We have successfully used frozen semen in our breeding program since the early 2000s, with our cornerstone sire Kuawarri Vaquero being the first dog collected. Dr. Kent Law at Symbioun Vet Clinic has done an amazing job for us in this regard, and you can rest assured they are the very best in this field. We estimate that our conception percentage is over 85%, particularly when the semen was collected and inseminated at Symbioun. They use pellets based on motility and concentration, and time ovulation through progesterone testing with a surgical implant to complete the breeding. This appraoch allows us to preserve rare and sought after genetics for decades, while also using notable dogs from a great distance. It's even allowed us to export genetics from our sires to other countries, expanding our network of great working genetics worldwide. Here's a list of current sires that are frozen for our use. Feel free to inquire if you are interested in purchasing semen for your health-tested females.
