Q. & A. with Lauren
Why did you start breeding?
Over 16 years ago, I was introduced to Australian Cattle Dogs through my sister-in-law, Stella, when she got her very first blue heeler- Lucy. I was struck by Lucy’s loyalty, affection, and keen intelligence. This sparked my interest to learn everything about heelers and this obsession quickly became a passion to work with this breed.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
