We live in a little valley
34klms south-west of Grafton in New South Wales, Australia.
We love
the quiet country life, and we share a great passion for the Australian Cattle Dog
(aka
Red or Blue Heeler).
It all started with our first dog
Cattle Dog
that we purchased from the RSPCA in Sydney in 1993, and we’ve never looked back.
These tough, hard-as-nails canines
seem to attach themselves to our heart-strings and we just can’t give them up.
When
Gary & I decided to quit the city and take on rural life, we
had no idea that we would end up breeding these beautiful
dogs. In hindsight I think we should have made the move
much earlier . . .
Producing
only one or two litters per year, we carefully research
prospective stud dogs to select those that compliment our
bitches. Our breeding stock are tested for hereditary
diseases and all pups sold have documentation to confirm these
health checks.
We
aim to produce strong, healthy pups that are true-to-type.
I
have owned, trained and loved Australian Cattle Dogs for more
than 15 years, the best friend I ever had was "Ruby"
my first dog.
We
started out with two blues, and now predominantly breed
reds.
Grace
is our first blue that we have kept from a litter, she is an
exceptional bitch and has changed the direction of our kennel's
breeding program. And with the purchase of a blue male from Coomerith
Kennels in Goondiwindi, we will now delve into the world of
blues.
A
friend of mine once said that when she gets too old to run a
dog, she is going to change to rescued Greyhounds as they tend
to just lie around the house. This friend asked me what I
will get when I'm too old to run a dog - and I simply told her
"another Cattle Dog".
Australian
Cattle Dogs are the most amazing breed. They are
intelligent, loyal, sturdy and always wanting more.
But
of course . . . I am a bit biased.
