Cristal was always responsive to my questions and concerns both before and after we picked up our puppy. She is obviously committed and very experienced of this breed. This gives us the confidence we need as first-time dog owners and first-time Heeler parents. Our puppy, Daisy is doing great and growing fast

+6Cristal was AMAZING 😊 Iwas thrilled I got to go out and meet my PuP at 5 weeks old. It was very special how Cristal met me at the door with my "Girl", and how it was just me, her, and the puppy🥰 NO distractions. Cristal was also very accommodating when I had to put off picking my PuP up for a week, due to a fractured rib😣 When I went to pick up my puppy, she again met me at the door, and handed her right to me🥰 She totally remembered me, tail wagging, and lots of 💋 kisses.....Truly satisfied with my experience, wouldn't change a thing!!! Thanks Cristal 🙂

Back Country Cattle dogs kept me updated weekly while we were waiting for our puppy. She made the process simple and easy. Picking up the puppy was easy and no stress. She made simple recommendations for taking the puppy home and adjusting to his new environment. There were no unnecessary requirements or contracts. We love our puppy.

Very great family heritage, zero leash training follows very well, herding was natural instinct, hands down one of the best and I mean best dog out of my 4 other heelers I have had in the past!
