Q. & A. with Tallie
Why did you start breeding?
Riding horses and moving cattle got me to appreciate the working dog. I found them the most amazing puppy and we worked moving cattle for big ranches as well as pushing up cattle for ropings. I fell in love with the breed and wanted to help make the breed better. 🤍 training is a big deal and I’m always coming up with new ideas.What makes your program special?
All my dogs come from amazing working ranches here in Marana and the surrounding areas. Picking and choosing and honestly making smart working dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Litter update on 24 Jan. •…Getting puppies use to different smells and noises that come from different animals. Today we checked out birds such as chickens ducks geese peacocks and emu. As well as horses cattle and of course Dirty Girty the piggy. Every one is doing good. The scariest one was the geese. They are loud and pups were definitely unsure of the noises coming from them.

Talley was very responsive and answered any questions I had about the Australian cattle pups. She sent constant updates and pictures. She was even very patient with me when I had questions or trying to figure things out with pick up. She really did go the extra mile. Would recommend to others.
