Meet the breeder

I'm A2, the breeder behind A2 Australian Cattle Dogs located in Sahuarita, AZ. What separates me from the next ACD breeder? In my opinion I have a well rounded plan of what I’d expect if I were the buyer. Health is very important, as is breeding puppies from confident and intelligent parents but I also focus very much on those first 8 weeks. Noises, smells, touch & exposure.

Q. & A. with A2

  • Why did you start breeding?

    Breeding was never a plan I had for myself until our 1st heeler Foxy. With very little knowledge I focused on confident and beautiful puppies. Over the years, great mentors have instilled great health, ideas for xray exams and teaching new things that will only make a litter more confident and happy.
  • What makes your program special?

    Pups stay indoors until they are 4 weeks. Within that time frame we introduce smells, noises and stimulation! After 3wks, it’s off to puppy kennel during the day and indoors at night. We wean at 5wks, introduce kibble, get socialized with children. We run & jump, learn & we grow! Periodically checking with vet & checking in with future families sending adorable photos of their growth.
  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies include red speckled and blue. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

    Very pleased with Ana and her professional work ethic on breading an amazing breed of dogs. And she guided me through the process of acquiring such an amazing puppy. His name is TUCO Benedicto Pacifico, Juan Maria Ramirez. From the movie, the good bad and ugly. I would definitely refer Ana M with A 2 A C D dogs to my friends and anyone else looking for an A C D. Ana is a great breeder thanks so much for my puppy. Chris

    I had an amazing experience working with Ana! From the very start, she was upfront and honest, which I really appreciated. She made an exception for me and took Shiloh to a certified vet in Arizona before I picked him up. That extra step gave me so much peace of mind, knowing he had been professionally checked. She even got a certificate of health to double-check everything, which was incredibly thoughtful. Ana answered all of my endless questions with patience and detail, and I couldn’t be happier with my decision to get this breed and work with her. Shiloh is now 10 weeks old, thriving, and learning so much already! Meeting at the Tucson airport was super convenient, and she was very accommodating throughout the whole process. I’m beyond grateful for this experience and highly recommend working with her!

    We love our new blue heeler puppy from A2 Australian Cattle Dogs. We were kept up to date and well informed about how and what our puppy was doing. Ana was very kind and considerate at all times and we would definitely do it again.

    Ana was wonderfully helpful in holding on to Max, an ACD puppy, for us until we could pick him up. She was helpful and knowledgeable about the breed and quick to answer questions we had about him. She gave us his health records and his favorite toys, including a blanket scented by his original siblings. I have shared photos with Ana on this charming and active puppy. Thank you Good dog for representing great breeders as well as representing people wanting to choose a pet. We felt protected in your service.

    I wanted to express my heartfelt gratitude to Ana for her care, expertise, and dedication in breeding such a wonderful puppy. From my very first interaction, Ana has been incredibly helpful, and I truly appreciate the time she took to answer all of my questions and ensure I was well-informed throughout the process.
