I'm the breeder behind BRB Ranch ACDs located in Fallon, NV. Our Australian Cattle Dogs are part of the family cattle ranch. They work hard with us during the day tending to our 350 Angus cow/calf operation and sleep in the house with us at night... We strive to breed working dogs that are bidable and good looking!
Q. & A. with Diana
Why did you start breeding?
I had a hard time finding a working ACD that could also place in the show ring.
They either wouldn't work or were not of suitable conformation for the ring.
I was determined to have a line of ACD's that could work and show!
What makes your program special?
I breed for working ability, training ability and correct conformation standard to the breed.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
