I'm Erin E., the breeder behind Outline Australian Cattle Dogs located in Texarkana, TX. Herding with dogs has become a passion of mine in recent years. I aim to maintain and improve the herding drive and ability in my Australian Cattle Dogs, and I have a large interest in helping others with the breed. I believe if your breeding dogs are not herding, then you are breeding away from herding drive and ability. Litters born here are bred with a working future in mind, and I have a vested interest in proving my dogs, and dogs I use in my program.
Q. & A. with Erin
Why did you start breeding?
Breeding was the obvious progression from showing and competing go trying to create and improve on my dogs.
What makes your program special?
My dogs are heavily selected for work. Anything foreign to a working dog is considered a serious fault. My dogs need to prove themselves on cattle, and as farmhands.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and guardian homes.
