Meet the breeder
I'm Mary R., the breeder behind Star Ranch Australian Cattle Dogs located in Waterloo, SC. When we bring a life into the world, we make sure it gets the best start possible. This includes proper health care and socialization for each puppy, but it starts even earlier than birth. We set our puppies up for success by carefully selecting the parents of each litter, keeping in mind factors such as health, temperament, conformation, ability, and drive. Our goal is to produce well-balanced puppies and find them loving, responsible homes.

Good day, Mary. We named the little girl Bella. She is doing fine. I am having her spayed next week. I had her checked for parasites, she has them and I have ordered the meds for her as well as my other heeler (Blue). Will see if I can send you a picture of them together. Ron
