Q. & A. with Kim
Why did you start breeding?
I have luved and had Austrlian cattle dogs since I was a child they were my first dogs and I have been raising and training them for 30 yrs. I luv the breed now as much as I did as a child they are like my children. It still continues to be such an honor to preserve the line of these incredible dogs all the while creating companionship for others. Our focus is to produce the best dogs of the highest quality so that other families can also enjoy the love of an Australian Cattle Dog. We have several references from past and present customers, available upon request and I also prefer to communicate by phone.I luv to get a feel for a possible buyer and I like the buyer to know me !What makes your program special?

If you are looking for the perfect furry companion, look no further! We love what we do and truly want the very best for our puppies and their forever families. We have many many references from previous buyers.Our dogs have gone in many directions as workers first and for most to big ranches all over the West. They have made great companions to contestants on the Voice, they have been used on the set of Yellowstone, they are cadaver dogs in New Mexico and they are just great family dogs !What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include red mottled and blue. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?

+5Kim was fantastic from start to finish! After talking to me, she went above and beyond to make sure that I got the perfect pup! She was very accommodating and I couldn't be happier! So glad that I got one of her pups! When I brought her home, "Turtle" walked into my house for the first time like she'd always lived here and that's when I knew I'd for sure made the right choice!
