Belle, mom
Australian Cattle Dog
About Belle
Belle is a female Australian Cattle Dog over 4 years old. Carefully selected as a great representative of her breed, Cher decided to make her part of their program. Cher has passed Good Dog’s screening process, which involved a review of their breeding practices, environment, and the mental and physical health of their dogs.
Kimber, mom
Australian Cattle Dog
About Kimber
Kimber is my one in a million kind of dog. She is a great mother, babysitter, worker, and protector. I've owned several heelers and I have never seen the devotion she has for my kids in any other one. Even after having puppies she will wear herself thin tending to both her babies and her other "babies". But that is just one side of her.. she is not one to ever back down. Which not only makes her one heck of a worker, but I can trust that my kids can be out somewhere and NO ONE would be able to harm them. She has never offered to bite or physically hurt someone, but if you were to try and hurt one of her kids I feel that would be another story. Within the home she is as calm as can be. Ready to go and do whenever, but knows the difference between rowdy time and calm time. The best part is she has passed this onto every single one of her pups.
Beaux, dad
Australian Cattle Dog
About Beaux
Beaux is a male Australian Cattle Dog about 10 years old. Carefully selected as a great representative of his breed, Cher decided to make him part of their program. Cher has passed Good Dog’s screening process, which involved a review of their breeding practices, environment, and the mental and physical health of their dogs.

I absolutely loved working with Cher and Piney River Cattle Dogs. She updated me constantly and I felt like I knew my doggo before he came home. She hadn’t done an out of state transfer via a transport company, and I found a company and she arranged everything. She literally took all of the guessing and anxiety out of purchasing a dog multiple states away. Paxil, my puppy, has settled into life with us. He has an amazing temperament and is a beaut. I couldn’t have asked for a better breeder to work with would definitely consider getting another dog from here.
