Meet the breeder
I'm Kristy D., the breeder behind Flying D Kennels located in Fairview, OK. Family-run Oklahoma farm raising versatile Australian Cattle Dogs for ranches, competition, and family life. AKC Breeder of Merit with 10 champions in our program and 3 junior handlers growing up living the cattle dog life together.
Q. & A. with Kristy
Why did you start breeding?
My passion started through a family friend who bred working dogs. I helped him place puppies and loved matching the right dogs with the right homes. That experience sparked my love for the breed and led me to start breeding with purpose—to share that same connection and joy with other families.What makes your program special?
My program is built on stability, health, and real-world upbringing. Puppies are raised on our busy farm with children and daily activity, giving them confidence and structure from the start. I prioritize proven, health-tested lines and thoughtful pairings, focusing on temperament as much as structure so families get dogs that are both capable and enjoyable to live with long-term.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include blue mottled, blue speckled, red mottled, red speckled, and blue. 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.
Getting a puppy from Kristy
Kristy has been certified by Good Dog’s screening team for responsible and trusted breeding practices. When you’re ready, reach out to ask about the puppies or anything else on your mind. You’ll get to know each other through messaging, phone, or video and pay securely, all on Good Dog.
Kristy partners with buyers to find the best match as the puppies develop and their personalities take shape. Typically, matches are finalized when the puppies reach about 7 weeks old.
“All prospective homes complete a puppy application so I can learn more about your household, experience, and what you’re looking for in a puppy. This helps me guide each family toward the best possible match. Submitting an application does not guarantee approval or a reservation, as puppies are placed based on fit and availability.”
Price
“Puppies range from $1,200–$2,500 depending on pick position and availability. I’m happy to explain how the pick process works. A deposit secures your spot in the litter and goes toward the final price. It holds your puppy and confirms your commitment to the adoption process.”
Contract & health guarantee
Kristy may provide a written contract or health guarantee when you purchase a puppy. This helps protect both you and your breeder, ensuring that you both have a clear understanding of the terms of your puppy purchase. If Kristy offers a contract or guarantee, the details will be personalized by them. If you have any questions or want to know more, don't hesitate to reach out to Kristy directly.

Litter update on 31 May •…While her puppies are turning 8 weeks old, Mama Bluey was busy earning her BCAT title! Pending AKC processing, Bluey’s fastest run of the day was 8.40 seconds at 24.35 mph. Not too shabby for a girl who is only 8 weeks post-whelp! We’re incredibly proud of this athletic, versatile girl. With parents like this, we can’t wait to see what sports, jobs, and adventures this litter takes on as they grow!

Program update on 10 Dec 2025 •…The first puppy in our WaynexDiamond litter is headed home to Missouri! We are planning our next litters for 2026 so I'd like to take this opportunity to educate in case you are planning to get an Australian Cattle Dog puppy next year, whether from us or another breeder. We do OFA CHIC certification on our dogs for their health testing. What does this mean? OFA CHIC is considered the gold standard for health testing in dogs. It is not just a simple checkup from the vet stating that the dog is healthy. Nor is it as simple as a "full (insert company of your choice) DNA panel". The OFA stands for Orthopedic Foundation for Animals. https://ofa.org/ On their website are 2 important things. The first is that they have a main database that is available to the public where you can look up and verify a dog's health test results for yourself using the dog's registered name or number. Breeders pay money on each test result for them to be submitted into the database. So there may be some breeders who do not care to spend the extra cost for their results to be in the public database which is not necessarily a red flag but you do need to ask to see copies of their health test results in that case and if you are not familiar with what you're looking at, be very careful because I've heard OFA results or test results can be generated by AI now. The second important thing on the OFA Website is a list of each breed's recommended testing that is chosen by the parent club. Let's break this down further into what health testing is actually important in Australian Cattle Dogs: Hip Dysplasia, Elbow Dysplasia, ACVO Eye Exam, prcd-Progressive Retinal Atrophy (PRA), Congenital Deafness, & Primary Lens Luxation. Let me know in the comments if you'd like a mini series of each test broken down into what exactly the health screening is and what results you want to see. Every breeder should be doing these tests on each sire and dam. Please share if you feel this post is relevant.

Parent dogs
Bluey, mom
Australian Cattle Dog
About Bluey
Bluey lives up to her nickname, “wild child.” She is confident, outgoing, and mildly energetic, with a naturally social and playful temperament. She loves meeting new people and brings a lot of enthusiasm to everything she does. She has moderate drive and loves FastCat, where she fully commits and shows her athleticism. Her show career reflected that same intensity and presence, finishing in only 3 shows. Bluey is best described as bold, sweet, and fun—an engaging female who brings a lot of personality and spark.
Excellent health testing

Australian Cattle Dog
About Grace
Grace was bred and raised by us, and she has been a joy from the very beginning. She is quiet, calm, and possesses one of the sweetest temperaments you could ask for. Gentle by nature, Grace has an exceptional tolerance for children—especially toddlers—which has made her a favorite in our household. Like her half sister, she is patient, kind, and naturally understanding with kids. Grace consistently passes on her wonderful temperament, and her offspring are thriving in pet homes where her easygoing, affectionate nature truly shines. She is the type of dog that blends seamlessly into family life, content to be near and involved without being demanding. She spent three months in Texas with trainer Joy Hall learning to herd sheep. While Grace does not work with intense grit or tenacity, she handled stock out of a genuine desire to please. Her willingness, biddability, and calm approach earned her Farm Dog title and demonstrated her steady, cooperative work ethic. Grace’s easygoing personality extends to her interactions with other dogs. She gets along well with everyone—including other females—and has no interest in dominance or conflict. She never starts trouble and brings a peaceful, balanced presence wherever she goes. Grace is the definition of a gentle, uncomplicated dog: sweet, dependable, and a true pleasure to live with. She represents the softer, family-oriented side of the breed while still maintaining the instincts and structure expected of an Australian Cattle Dog.

Australian Cattle Dog
About Cookie
Cookie is a strong-willed, independent male with a lot of presence and natural determination. He finished his championship exceptionally early, earning his title at just 7 months old—a reflection of both his quality and ring presence. He is good with children but prefers a more independent relationship, enjoying interaction on his terms rather than constant attention. His herding instinct is intense and self-driven, and he approaches work with confidence and initiative. Cookie is intelligent but not a push-button dog—he benefits from experienced handling and clear expectations, as he tends to think for himself. He does best with compatible dogs and can be assertive, particularly with other intact males. He consistently passes on his strong type and personality. His offspring are best suited for experienced homes that appreciate a confident, driven dog. Physically, Cookie is striking—known for his rich blue mottled coat, heavy bone, and strong, expressive head.

Australian Cattle Dog
About Wayne
Wayne is a thoughtful, steady male with a natural off-switch, while still carrying the energy and drive expected of a well-bred Australian Cattle Dog. He is people-oriented and settles quickly in new situations—initially observant, but friendly and comfortable once he’s had a moment to take things in. He travels regularly for shows and handles busy environments, new places, and change without issue. He has been raised and shown by my children, including in juniors, which reflects his patience, stability, and overall good nature. He enjoys affection and forms a strong bond with his people. Wayne is intelligent, willing, and straightforward to train. He has natural, honest herding instinct and enjoys activities like Fast CAT, putting full effort into whatever he’s asked to do. At home, he is easy to live with—active when appropriate, but calm and respectful in daily life.

Parent health testing
Excellent level
Flying D Kennels reports to performing the health tests below on their breeding dogs. Ask your breeder about the tests performed on the parents of your litter. Learn more about health testing for Australian Cattle Dogs.

Hip testing reduces the chance of passing down hip dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause hip pain and the eventual loss of the function of the hip joint.
Elbow Dysplasia Finals (OFA, BVA, SV, FCI)
Elbow testing reduces the chance of passing down elbow dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause arthritis in the elbow joint and front leg lameness.
Eye Certification (CAER, registered with OFA)
Eye testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide range of hereditary eye illnesses including retinal dysplasia, lens luxation, and glaucoma, which can cause impared vision or blindness.
Congenital Deafness (BAER, registered with OFA)
A breeder may perform additional tests on their dogs that do not fall into these general categories. These tests may be more uncommon or very specific to a particular breed.
PRA, Rod-Cone Dysplasia 4 (rcd4), PRA, Rod-Cone Degeneration (PRA-prcd), Primary Lens Luxation (PLL)
Genetic testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide variety of hereditary diseases of differing prevalence and severity such as Progressive Retinal Atrophy (an eye disease) and Von Willebrand's Disease (a blood disease).

Kristy and Flying D kennels worked out well for us and we are so very appy with our new pup, Dale Keota. Kristy answered any questions I had and I was impressed with the health screening done on her dogs. She was also very prompt in meeting us to pick up our pup understanding we had driven a long way and had to drive back. Our pup is smart and beautiful, a natural retriever and very tenacious. A great example of the breed.

Kristy was great to work during the entire process. She’s extremely knowledgeable about the breed and clearly cares about finding the right home for the pups. It was our first time working with a breeder, so we really appreciated her responsiveness and patience with our questions. We definitely plan to work with her again when it’s time to get our new pup another sibling.

Extremely pleased with our puppy from Kristy at Flying D and appreciate the time/care that went into evaluating the pups for good fit to homes. From Day 1, Foss has been an absolute gem who fits right into our home and life. Everyone he's met comments on his behavior and temperament, evidence of the quality of the parents and breeding program at Flying D. Quickest dog we've had picking up commands and tricks even with the ACD stubbornness peeking out. Love him and would definitely recommend Flying D in the future. Worth the travel and cost hands down.

We couldn’t be happier with our new puppy, Boomer, from Flying D Kennels! From the very first message, Kristy was incredibly easy to work with—friendly, responsive, and genuinely passionate about her dogs. She answered all our questions with patience and made the entire process smooth and stress-free. Boomer is everything we hoped for and more—healthy, happy, and full of personality! It’s clear he came from a loving, well-socialized environment. He adjusted to our home quickly and has already brought so much joy into our lives. We’re so grateful to Kristy and Flying D Kennels for helping us find the perfect pup. If you're looking for a responsible breeder who truly cares, look no further. Highly recommend!
