Meet the breeder
I'm Sarah K., the breeder behind Spotted Ewe ACDs located in Pierpont, OH. ACDs raised in my home on a working sheep farm in NE Ohio. They compete in sport and show, help with farm and shearing work, assist in my dog training business, and live as stable, versatile family companions.
Q. & A. with Sarah
Why did you start breeding?
I never planned on breeding but when I got my first well-bred dog and saw what a difference it was from poorly bred dogs I saw on a daily basis I knew I had to let other people experience the same thing. Everyone deserves to have a once in a lifetime dog like her!What makes your program special?
I have owned well-bred Australian Cattle Dogs for the past six years and have been actively involved in the dog world for over sixteen years. As a professional dog trainer, I place a strong emphasis on stable temperaments, clear minds, and versatility. My dogs not only excel in sports and work but also help me train other dogs, which requires sound nerves, biddability, and excellent social skills.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Australian Cattle Dog
About Gamble
Gamble is an import from Slovakia. He's a super sweet, sensitive guy who wants nothing more than to make his person happy. He's such a boy dog! Herding is his favorite but he has done a wide variety of sports in his young life and we're just getting started!
Great health testing

Scout, mom
Australian Cattle Dog
About Scout
Scout is the perfect mix of sweet and sassy. She is an incredibly versatile sport and show dog who can go from visiting kids with cancer to wrecking rats in the barn hunt ring without batting an eye. She's ornery with a sense of humor but has never let me down.
Excellent health testing
Full Embark Panel, PRA, Rod-Cone Dysplasia 4 (rcd4), +4 more.
