I'm the breeder behind Quarter Acre Farms located in Monterey, TN. We have a small number of very healthy and beautiful Australian cattle dogs. We are producing one to two litters per year and are currently focusing on blue heelers at this time.
Q. & A. with Stephen
Why did you start breeding?
I fell in love with Australian Cattle Dogs after I got my first Female in 2009. After a few years I got a beautiful tan point male and the puppies they produced were so beautiful I was hooked.
What makes your program special?
We now specialize in true blue heelers with dark coloration. We feel these dogs benefit from exposure to a variety of farm animals as well as children.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include blue speckled, blue mottled, and blue. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Misty is wonderful. She is on training with me to be my emotional support. She is learning fast. We live in the country so she loves exploring her property and going for walks.

Quarter Acre Farms was more than excellent!! They were very nice, attentive, responded quickly, and made sure we were fully educated about the process and payments. We were also able to get our Luna (new puppy) the same day in perfect health!! They were absolutely fantastic and Luna continues to thrive each day.
