Q. & A. with Deborah
Why did you start breeding?
I got into breeding after seeing firsthand how much a well-bred Australian Cattle Dog could improve our family's cattle operation. We needed dogs that would move the cattle without injuring them, and the difference in temperament and working ability inspired me. I wanted to preserve those qualities by breeding healthy, intelligent, structured, and instinctively exceptional dogs.What makes your program special?
My breeding program is intentionally small, allowing me to devote individual attention to every dog and every litter. Puppies are raised in my home with extensive socialization, early training, and lifelong support for their families. My goal to produce Australian Cattle Dogs that are healthy, versatile, and true to the breed standard while preserving this incredible breed for future generations.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
