I'm Cecile D., the breeder behind Cedar Rock Heelers and Kelpies located in Bradford, AR. We offer well-tempered, health-tested dogs with foundations that nurture curiosity, drive, and obedience. We focus on breeding dogs that have enough working drive to keep up with our lifestyle, but also have amazing temperaments and can quickly adapt to a calm family setting.
Q. & A. with Cecile
Why did you start breeding?
I bought my first heeler pup when I was 9 years old and have been hooked ever since! We have over 20 years experience raising heelers. The kelpies are fairly new to CRH&K but we have done our research and feel we have a good set to raise great working and family dogs!
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our Australian Cattle Dog puppies include red mottled and blue. Australian Kelpie puppies include red and chocolate. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and a kennel on my property.

Fantastic! I HIGHLY recommend Cedar Rock Heelers and Kelpies! Cecile is a very reputable breeder & not a sell and forget breeder. When she heard my puppy had a cough she immediately called me and asked to take him to the vet( he was just fine ) And did an amazing job with the crate training!! Lol I have to keep checking on him because he never makes a peep when he's in there. Has an amazing & sweet personality about him. He came with his papers and microchip & food. If it's your first time ordering online you will be fine with CRHK. She helped me along the way.

Cecile was so easy to work with from start to finish! We are so glad we found Cedar Rock Heelers and Kelpies through Good Dog. It was very easy to contact Cecile on the Good Dog website and she immediately got back to us. She answered all our questions and even agreed to speak with us that very evening! After talking with her, we could tell that Cecile and her family are wonderful breeders and truly love/care about all their pets. We decided that evening that we wanted a beautiful baby boy Blue Heeler puppy!
Cecile stayed in touch and gave us updates and videos on our puppy regularly.
After making the arrangements for meeting Cecile and picking up our puppy, Good Dog/Cecile/Cedar Rock Heelers and Kelpies made it so easy to make the payments securely. Also, we loved the recommendation and discount we received at FIGO pet insurance.
The best part about this review is that we could not be happier with Raider Jr! The initial raising and training done by Cecile is really paying off, Raider Jr is doing so great with our family. He absolutely wonderful and we love him so much! We would highly recommend Cecile at Cedar Rock Heelers and Kelpies and Good Dog!
