"Rowdy" came to us from the breeding program of Stacey Palmer, Kylie ACDs in GA, and he has really developed into a great dog. Double bred to the great female DC WTCH HTCH Intl CH VCH Kylie's Ericka Shurcan Shine ROM HXAs HSAc ATDcsd RTDc HTDIIId HRDIIIs HTADIIIs UD NA NAJ NAP NJP, Rowdy's pedigree is filled with herding winners and conformation champions. More importantly, his disposition is excellent and he has developed to be a strong dog on stock. He is a moderate sized dog with plenty of bone and shape. He is making a tremendous cross on Kuawarri Vaquero females, this cross is resulting in pups that are outstanding. Rowdy and his full sister Kylies My Shout Mate (see K9 Cowgirls page) are also full siblings to Ellen Beasley's good dog "CH Kylie's Torres Strait HSAcs HXAc CDX", a successful obedience and herding dog with his conformation championship. Their sire, Jabber, unfortunately passed away this year, being a little shy of points required for his Herding Championship. He was a very nice dog that ran in the Advanced level on both cattle and sheep, and won Res High In Trial at the National Specialty. Rowdy's dam is also a proven trial competitor, with a lot of push and power. Rowdy represents an elite line of versatile cattle dogs that bring true genetic excellence to the breed.

Rowdy has been a great sire for us, producing great-minded working dogs that are great family dogs. Here are a couple of examples:
