Meet the breeder

I'm Claudia T., the breeder behind Intermountain Australian Cattle Dogs located in Long Pond, PA. We are a small program with health tested/screened sire and dam with stable temperaments and workability. We are striving to better the breed in both performance, workability, and most importantly health. Our goal is to provide owners with the best success of their puppy for their life style.

Q. & A. with Claudia

Why did you start breeding?
I got into breeding because I wanted to help others receive a stable temperament dog that would make a good pet but also be a good worker. I also see a lot of breeding in this breed without health testing and wanted to contribute to healthy sound dogs particularly in my area where this breed is used frequently. I want to better the breed and help set up owner for success when choosing a puppy.
What makes your program special?
Both sire and dam are CHIC certified and have produced sound temperament tested pups.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies are blue. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Parent dogs

Panther, dad
Australian Cattle Dog
About Panther
Panther is AKC CHIC certified along with normal testing for his thyroid! I specifically chose Panther because of his parents workability and easy manner. Panther is a typical cattle dog with high drive, determination, and workability that makes him incredibly intelligent! Panther loves being loved on and going for long jogs. He’s passed on great stamina to his previous litter and I expect the same from this next one! These puppies develop great color and drive from their dad, excited to finally meet them when the time comes!
Uploaded health tests
Primary Lens Luxation (PLL), Elbow Dysplasia Finals (OFA, BVA, SV, FCI), +4 more.
Calypso, mom
Australian Cattle Dog
About Calypso
Calypso is the sweetest dog you’ll meet. She is AKC CHIC standard health tested and what you’d expect from a female cattle dog. She has drive but is also family oriented that sets great foundation for our puppies going home. Her disposition really shows in her pups with their easy going personality while still having high workability. I expect her second litter to be as phenomenal as her first! Paired with Panther you get an even temperament across the board.
Uploaded health tests
Eye Certification (CAER, registered with OFA).
