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.

    A2 was extremely responsive. Ana answered all my questions regarding Khino. My husband and I desired an older dog. I definately had my list of what I desired in our new dog. Khino met this list and the process of working with Ana went so smoothly. It was an amazing adventure for the two of us as we traveled to bring him home. He has settled in. He keeps me active with play and walks. He is the gentlest boy and gives me much affection. He has claimed me and is always by my side. I simply can't express how much having him means to me. I unexpectedly lost my husband last week, so Khino and I are on a new adventure. I am grateful for having him in my life.

    Ana was a blast to work with! Very consistent with updates about the puppy and shows great care/ support to not only the dog but to us too. Lovely personality and always responds to our questions without a problem. She truly makes the experience so much easier to go through and I'd love to work with her again someday!

    Ana is an awesome person and a great breeder. She was great to work with, helping me to pick out the puppy that would look like his mother. Creede is a wonderful puppy, independent and playful. He is great with the kennel and it was good to have a blanket with his brothers and sisters scent. Thank you Ana. We feel blessed to have him. Liz & Tony R.

    A2 was incredibly responsive and sent us consistent updates about our puppy! Would highly recommend working with them. Getting a new puppy is a little nerve wracking, but A2 made it so much easier and put our minds at ease! Our little guy is happy and thriving.

    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.
