Q. & A. with Crystal
Why did you start breeding?
After losing our beloved pet, my husband and I fell in love with the Heeler breed. Roxy and Bandit, our two Heelers, showed incredible loyalty, loving nature, and protectiveness, quickly bonding with our children. Their amazing qualities inspired us to share the breed with other families. While we’re not formal breeders, the few litters we have are carefully planned, AKC registered, and filled with love, creating a unique bloodline for others to enjoy.
What makes your program special?
We are devoted owners of two exceptional purebred Australian Cattle Dogs, and we're dedicated to blessing deserving homes with the offspring from our litter. While I recognize the appeal of breeding our female, I'm firmly committed to responsible practices, ensuring she only has no more than 3-4 carefully planned litters. We’re not formal breeders; instead, we focus on breeding with love and care, prioritizing the health and well-being of the dogs. This smaller-scale, personal approach ensures that each puppy is part of a unique bloodline, raised in a loving home environment before going to their forever families.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include red speckled, red mottled, blue mottled, blue speckled, and blue. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Australian Cattle Dog
About Bandit
A little about my male Heeler, Red Bandit: he is a beautiful double-masked red speckled Heeler. He's my spitfire wild child and my daughter’s best friend; they are the best playmates ever. Bandit loves herding her around the house, playing catch and chase. He's also a water dog, enjoying playtime with her on the splash pad. Bandit is the younger of my two male dogs, with Chance, my 12-year-old Pitbull, being the elder. Bandit respects his place in our "house herd." His temperament is not only great for families but also perfect for work. He loves to cuddle with the family, is very attentive, loves to learn, and enjoys using his voice. We weren't sure how he would be with his puppies, but he turned out to be a great dad who loves playing with them and is very gentle.
Roxy, mom
Australian Cattle Dog
About Roxy
A little about my female Heeler, Roxy Rae: she is a beautiful blue mottled Heeler and was our first of the breed, definitely giving us a run for our money. As the only female dog in our house, Roxy came 12 years after Chance, our elder Pitbull, and quickly established herself as the alpha among our pets. She runs the show. Roxy is the most lovable and affectionate dog I’ve ever owned, preferring the company of her humans over her canine companions. She is an amazing mom, very protective of her young, yet always allows us to enjoy the puppy love together as a family, including my four-year-old daughter. Roxy is truly a special part of our household.

We had such a great experience with Crystal from Miller Australian cat dogs. From our first contact, she was very responsive and we were able to do a Zoom call with the puppy.
Our family instantly loved Sonny, and we made the decision to make part of our family. We also loved the name she chose for the pup and decided to keep it.
On the pick up day, Crystal was extremely organized with a really well thought out package for all the paperwork and care plan for the new puppy
This really helped us integrate him in on those first few days and for traveling back to the Bay Area.
It’s been 2 weeks now since he came to live with us and we couldn’t imagine a home without him.
He had already been trained with very good house manners before coming to deliver us. Our trainer was very impressed by this and we can credit Crystal with taking good care of all her pups despite the workload. Her care and dedication really shines.
Highly recommended
Rob, Thalia, Alex and Sonny.

Had a really great experience with Crystal on GoodDog. Super easy to work with, answered all my questions, and clearly loves their dogs. I even met the dad, Bandit that loves head pats and scratches.
Our Heeler puppy is healthy, super smart, and full of personality. You can tell they were well taken care and socialized of from the start.
Pup also came with a nice folder with all his documents, vaccine reports, AKC paperwork and other information. She also included a nice good bag with a blanket that has the packs sent, toys and other small goodies.
Highly recommend if you're looking for a great pup and a smooth, stress-free process!

5 Stars – Outstanding Breeder!
I had a fantastic experience with Crystal from Miller Australian Cattle Dogs. From the very first inquiry to bringing my puppy home, the entire process was smooth, transparent, and handled with genuine care. It’s clear that she is passionate about her dogs and deeply committed to responsible, ethical breeding.
Murphy (formerly known as Beau Hayes) is happy and healthy! Crystal has been in touch through his transition to his new home and pup pack. I’d certainly recommend her as a top breeder and pup lover! 🐾

Crystal was so nice and easy to communicate with. She was always quick to respond, sent the cutest pictures and updates and answered all our questions. She was really flexible with arranging pick up and so kind in person. Our boy Rip is the funniest, happiest little guy! He brings so much joy to our family! Working with Crystal was such a smooth experience! Highly recommend.

Working with Crystal was seamless and truly an enjoyable process. In fact, I could write a full page on how positive my experience was with her, but I’ll keep it short instead. Crystal was always kind, responsive, transparent, professional, and showed great dedication & care to her puppies, and their best interests were always Crystal’s priority; including the pups’ parents. Crystal and her families love given to these pups are evident in our little Emma’s personality. Emma is an intelligent, respectful, loving and happy puppy. We are truly blessed to have a Miller ACD.

I found Good Dog & Crystal Miller with her ACD puppies on FaceBook.
I was looking for a little red guy for a sidekick for me. She had some beautiful looking little pups. Crystal was very fast to responding to my e-mails and text with any questions I may have had. The deal was so easy that I made a trip across 2 states to get Kane. Puppies are super spoiled by Crystal and it's a wonderful thing. The puppies are ready for their forever homes when you get them. I would definitely recommend Crystal with high 10/10 rating.
