Huge Congratulations to Laura and her "Rowdy" son Rascal ( SILVERDUST I WON'T LET GO UDX ) on finishing their Obedience Trail Champion title today! This is the highest obedience title that can be earned! Well done! (Pic from when they won High In Trial at the Specialty two years ago) We are very proud of the excellent job you have done with him Laura!

 

We are beyond excited to announce the arrival of "Pria" Aus CH Willowpark Whiz Kid to our program. Pria made the long journey over from Australia this week, and will be co-owned with her owner and trainer Belinda Carter. We gauge her to be the best working female in Australia, and are ecstatic to introduce her new bloodlines, powerful working style and beautiful type to our breeding plans. She will be competing at the National Specialty under the capable handling of Larry Painter, and then in the spring we will breed her with some rare and valuable frozen semen from Kuawarri Vaquero to produce some of the finest herding dogs we have ever produced. Our family has been totally impressed with this fine girl, and we can't wait to watch the future unfold.

2017  litters planned, here and at other breeders-sired by Albritts Viking Warrior and Spader Vintage Vaquero. We are planning a litter in the late summer/fall, contact us for more details and to be referred to other breeders utilizing our genetics

 Welcome to our program Spader Cowtown Heritage RL, bred by David Roberts, TX. "Jagger" is a grandson of HC Trails End Ruck Tanner and Kuawarri Red Ginny, we are excited to watch him develop! Co-owned with Nick Wiebert. Click here for more

 

Welcome to our breeding program "Waylon" - St Etienne's Rambling Man. We purchased co-ownership of this nice young male from his breeder Tracy Burnichon in NV. He's a bright young dog with excellent type and movement, both sire and dam finished their Grand Championships and "Waylon" has all the potential to do the same. He reminded us greatly of Spader Vaquero Faith, so we are excited to breed him to her daughters to set the type. Total outcross blood for our program-we will be bringing frozen semen in this spring. PRCD and PLL clear, RCD4 clear



We've enjoyed having a litter again at our place this summer, these Spader Vintage Vaquero pups are sharp! They will be going to new homes to compete in Schutzhund, herding, obedience and of course ranch work.

Congratulations Laura Fuller and her "Rowdy" son Rascal ( SILVERDUST I WON'T LET GO UDX ) on your HIGH IN TRIAL and HIGH COMBINED win. Score of 198 at the 2015 ACDCA NATIONAL SPECIALTY! Bred by Morriss Tompkins & Deborah Casey, this cool Rowdy son shows that our lines of working dogs can be very versatile-competing at the highest level of breed competition!

News from the National Specialty-

Congratulations to Sherri Burton and Spader's Blue Kahlua, who won 1ST place in the open bitch class at the National Specialty! Great job guys! It was a large class of 9 in the nation's largest ACD show. Well done! Kahlua is a Brody daughter out of a full sister to Spader Vintage Vaquero.

Congrats also go out to Elizabeth Webber and Spader No Worries Isabel-they placed 3rd in the open herding Calcutta, as well as 3rd in the American Bred conformation class. Isabel is a 2 year old daughter of Spader Vintage Vaquero and Kylies My Shout Mate. Excellent! Kudos to Elizabeth for her training on this dog, and to Stacey Palmer of Kylie ACDs, who bred this dog's dam. 

Albritt Viking Warrior's dam, Xena, and his full brother, Squeeky, made the long trip over from Denmark and had a great Specialty. Xena placed in Advanced Cattle, and Squeeky placed in Started Cattle and Sheep. They even stopped in for a visit at our place, it was good to have them here!

Larry Painter's good dog "Ruck" was High In Trial on cattle and sheep in the day II trials-this super dog shares a maternal grandam with "Brody" and is a nephew to our old dog "Hazer".

Over the last 20 years we have sold working dogs to 33 states, as well as Denmark, Swtizerland, France, and Canada.  We're proud to concentrate our breeding program on solid working cattle dogs, and are pleased to share them with cattlemen and women across the US and beyond.

Big Announcement!!!!
