Getting a puppy from Sulyn
Sulyn has been certified by Good Dog’s screening team for responsible and trusted breeding practices. When you’re ready to reach out, feel free to ask any questions about the breed, their program, or specific puppies.
Together, you’ll choose the puppy that’s right for you, stay in touch with regular updates, and plan how to bring your new puppy home.
Price
Puppy prices include a $300 non-refundable deposit and $300 final payment, before taxes & fees.
“The price includes first vaccine, de-worming, microchip, return policy, and health guarantee. All puppies are the same price. The non-refundable deposit is also applied if the health guarantee with appropriate vet documentation is utilized or you return your puppy for any reason. Unfortunately due to rising vet, dog food and gas costs, we were forced to increase the price of our beautiful puppies from $500 to $600 beginning with Red/Patches 2024 litter. SB Heelers apologies for this change as we struggle to keep the cost of our puppies down to help families like our family be able to afford a quality cattle dog with a beautifully balanced temperament and the herd drive we love.”
Contract & health guarantee
Sulyn may provide a written contract or
health guarantee when you purchase a puppy. This helps
protect both you and your breeder, ensuring that you
both have a clear understanding of the terms of your
puppy purchase. If Sulyn offers a contract
or guarantee, the details will be personalized by them.
If you have any questions or want to know more,
don’t hesitate to reach out to Sulyn directly.

Poco, mom
Australian Cattle Dog
About Poco
Poco has always been very dear to our hearts here at SB Heelers. She was born a singleton to our now retired red female Roxy. A family came forward and wanted her, then sadly returned her according to our return policy. We are happy to have her back in our kennel. We are in the process of deciding if she will take part in our breeding program. She returned to us behind on socializing and advanced obedience training. Then, due to some health issues in our family, Poco is still behind on her training. She will complete health testing and be given opportunities to prove herself as a asset to our breeding program. So— Stay tuned on Poco’s progress!!
