I'm Morgan R., the breeder behind Oakley ACDs located in Oakley, ID. Whether you are looking for a pet, a working dog, or a champion quality show dog, we have the perfect pup for you! We started breeding in 2017 and have loved the journey. Our dogs are smart, versatile, loving companions and we love helping families find a fur baby that best fits their lifestyle.
Q. & A. with Morgan
Why did you start breeding?
We stumbled upon our stud dog and have been amazed at his natural instinct for wanting to work cattle. We’ve never had a dog like him before! You don’t find that around our parts, so it opened our eyes to what a well-bred ACD should look and act like. We wanted to replicate him responsibly and provide quality ACDs for loving families.
What makes your program special?
We offer well-tempered, health-tested family companions with foundations that nurture curiosity, drive, and obedience. Our dogs work hard, play hard, love hard, and are an integral part of the family. We prepare all of our pups to excel in life and thrive with their forever families.
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 and a kennel on my property.

Parent health testing
Breeder-Reported Testing
Great level
Oakley ACDs 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 Dysplasia
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.
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.
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).
