Q. & A. with Gaye Lynn
Why did you start breeding?
My family dogs were always Standard Poodles. I learned about temperament, grooming, and patience during my 30 years with Poodles. Owning smart dogs began me looking for even smarter and versatile dogs, and so began my love affair with Australian Cattle Dogs. I strive to not only produce beautiful puppies and continue my show line, but to help promote responsible breeding in order to ensure that the Australian Cattle Dog will continue to thrive for generations to come.What makes your program special?
My breeding philosophy is simple. My goal is to produce good dogs that are capable of excelling mentally and physically in all areas of the breed standard. It's great to breed a beautiful dog, but it can come to nothing if not sound in mind and body. A good sound dog will be friendly, yet a brave guardian of its family and stock. I breed, train, and feed with these goals foremost in my mind. Your beautiful good dog will be your best friend and you will mark the days of your life by the fleeting time they spend with you.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.
