I'm Lee K., the breeder behind Bosworth Australian Cattle Dogs located in Vandalia, IL. All of my breeding dogs are health tested Australian Cattle Dogs that work and win in the show ring. I carefully choose the sire and dam in order to produce the best quality possible. I strive to make sure every owner has the ability to get the very best out of their puppy. The goal I set and which I believe is still the most important is to produce healthy puppies that make a well-rounded character in an adult dog.
Q. & A. with Lee
Why did you start breeding?
After purchasing my first show dog and finishing her AKC championship, I was mentored by her breeder. I then joined the National club and asked lots of questions. My mentors helped guide me with breeding.
What makes your program special?
I breed very sparingly, only breeding to continue my line. Always looking to the future.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
