I'm Taylor S., the breeder behind Tri Star Heelers located in Shelbyville, TN. My focus is on excellence in every aspect of my breeding program. I offer top-quality Australian Cattle Dog for working homes. My dogs work hard, play hard, love hard, and are part of the family. I prepare all of my pups to thrive in their new forever homes! I take great pride in my breeding program.
Q. & A. with Taylor
Why did you start breeding?
I am a lifelong dog enthusiast, and I am excited to share my passion and purpose with others through my breeding program. I decided to start a responsible, in-home breeding program in order to produce quality working dogs that also fit into a home setting.
What makes your program special?
I hold myself to the highest standard when it comes to my dogs. I am dedicated to always having responsible policies when it comes to breeding, training, and rehoming my pups. I love what I do and truly want nothing more than to see each and every one of my puppies shine!
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies are blue. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and a kennel on my property.
