Thank you so much for considering one of our puppies — we truly feel honored. If you haven’t already, please take a look at our website to explore our current litters and parent profiles. Which litter or pairing caught your eye, and why?

We share individual puppy photos at 7 weeks of age, once personalities begin to blossom. What qualities are most important to you in a puppy — temperament, drive, structure, companionship, sport potential? Our pricing is listed on the website, with consideration for farm homes and show homes.

If you feel connected to a specific litter, we invite you to call us to join that waitlist. We require a phone conversation before accepting deposits. Would you be open to chatting so we can get to know each other better and make sure this is the right fit for everyone?

We’ve been devoted to breeding Australian Cattle Dogs since 2018 and are honored to be recognized by the American Kennel Club as a Breeder of Merit. We are also proud participants in the AKC Bred with H.E.A.R.T. Program. Do you have any questions about what those mean?

Health is foundational in our program. We do not breed until our dogs are at least two years old. Every pairing is intentionally planned to strengthen virtues and improve weaknesses. All our sires and dams are health tested for issues in the breed including deafness, eye diseases, hip or elbow dysplasia and DNA tested for over 300 other genetic markers for health and disease making them OFA CHIC certified. CHIC means the parents have completed the recommended health testing for Australian Cattle Dogs through the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals. Do you know how to look those results up online yourself? If not, we have them linked on each sire or dam profile on our website.

To date, we have finished 11 Champions. For us, championships reflect structure, soundness, and temperament — not just ribbons or a pretty face. While we primarily breed with the intention of keeping show prospects for ourselves, most of our puppies thrive in loving pet and sport homes. What kind of partner are you hoping your puppy becomes — a hiking buddy, performance teammate, farm helper?

Our puppies leave with prepaid AKC registration, prepaid microchips, BAER hearing testing, veterinary exams, first vaccinations, heartworm prevention, pet insurance, and more. Do you have any questions about what is included with the purchase of your puppy?

We do not accept deposits until puppies are 7 weeks old. At that time, everyone on the waitlist is notified simultaneously. We reserve first pick, followed by repeat families, then deposits are accepted in order received. Puppies are not held without a deposit. Does that process feel clear to you? We’re happy to explain further if needed.

For the safety of our dogs, we do not allow kennel visits, but we are inspected by the AKC. A representative looked at all our dogs, their housing, daily care routines, and our records to ensure everything meets AKC guidelines. This includes cleanliness, proper space, access to food and water, accurate documentation, and proper identification for each dog. And we welcome families to meet us at dog shows. Would you be interested in attending a show to see our dogs in person?

At 7 weeks, we begin offering puppies to families on our waitlist. Rather than relying heavily on early temperament testing snapshots, we focus on preparing families for the overall traits of the breed — intelligence, energy, loyalty, and strong working drive. What plans do you have in place for exercise and training?

We do require a signed sales and sterilization agreement before accepting a deposit, as part of protecting every puppy we produce. We ask for this puppy to be spayed or neutered at 6 months of age. As an alternative option to that, you may do an ovary sparing spay or vasectomy at 6 months of age instead. We do not sell our dogs with breeding rights. Do you understand?* This field is required.

From our family to yours — we are not a one-and-done breeder. We are here for the life of your dog. Would you be willing to stay in touch with updates, photos, and milestones? Nothing brings us more joy than watching our puppies grow.
