Meet the breeder

I'm Carrie G., the breeder behind Heelers and Highlands located in Reed Point, MT. The puppies are born and raised in our home as part of the family. If you are looking for a well-bred, healthy cattle dog from a small Montana family farm look no further. Our breeding pair have proven themselves as compatible ranch hands, helping us herd our small clutch of cows around the farm.

Q. & A. with Carrie

  • Why did you start breeding?

    We have always had an interest in breeding these intelligent, tough and loyal animals. We have had our sire "Goucho" for many years and took time hand selecting the perfect dam for our breeding program. Now that we have Kana, we cannot imagine a better pairing. She has had no complications, enjoys caring for the pups. This is truly a joy for us to be a part of caring for these animals.
  • What makes your program special?

    Our focus is on quality, raising only one litter per year to produce healthy capable heelers. From day one, we work to ease future handling. They are handled daily, socialized with kids and other animals. Ready for vet-care and grooming practices (touching ears, mouths, feet, baths). We have exposed them to indoor and outdoor environments.
  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies include red speckled and blue speckled. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

Getting a puppy from Carrie

Carrie has been certified by Good Dog’s screening team for responsible and trusted breeding practices. When you’re ready, reach out to ask about the puppies or anything else on your mind. You’ll get to know each other through messaging, phone, or video and pay securely, all on Good Dog.

Carrie partners with buyers to find the best match as the puppies develop and their personalities take shape. Typically, matches are finalized when the puppies reach about 8 weeks old.

“We would love to chat about how you will use the dog and see if we can balance personalities to match your lifestyle. These animals can be your best hiking buddy or your fiercest cow enforcer. Cattle dogs need purpose, exercise and a job to thrive. We carefully match puppies to homes that understand and can provide that, and we will always welcome our dogs back if life changes (no questions asked).”
