Meet the breeder

I'm Tracy C., the breeder behind Carben Copy located in Weatherford, TX. We offer top-quality Australian Kelpie and Australian Cattle Dog puppies for families who share the same love and passion that we do for these lovely companions. We breed puppies with a focus on outstanding temperament, health, form, and function. We are 100% committed to the quality of our program! To aid with this we must speak to all potential puppy families in person and all puppies must be spayed or neutered.

Q. & A. with Tracy

Why did you start breeding?
My parents raised German Shepherds for over 25 years. I grew up going to work with my mother at Liebestraum Kennel and numerous training clubs. As an adult, I met my first ACD at a horse show and knew instantly this would be my breed. Fifteen years later I met my first Kelpie and again, instantly fell in love. It's been a passion, a commitment, and a pleasure to live with, work with, and share these dogs ever since!
What makes your program special?
Our values, our knowledge, and our unwavering commitment make our program special. The hours we spend studying dogs, pedigrees, and researching is almost unfathomable. Every breeding is purposeful and no compromises will do. We also apply our clinical backgrounds bringing a unique perspective to understanding the impact of genetics, environment, nutrition, supplementation, and handling on raising top-quality puppies.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our Australian Cattle Dog puppies include red speckled and blue. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
