Together my husband and I have over (50) years of experience in both breeding and conformation showing. Like many couples our marriage brought together the love for two breeds.  My love for Australian Cattle Dogs and his love for Akitas.  Prior to our marriage my husband’s only contact with the Australian Cattle Dog breed was in passing at shows.   Although I had more contact with the Akita breed as a professional handler, I had not spent a great deal of time with them.  While interacting with these breeds, we quickly realized other than size they shared a lot in common, especially the love and devotion for their owners. These similarities helped naturally develop that special bond of love, respect and understanding in becoming a two breed family. Though the Akitas have become a large part of my life, our Australian Cattle Dogs will always remain nearest to my heart.

First and foremost our dogs are members of the family. We spend an enormous amount of time training, traveling and exhibiting these dogs, therefore our breeding program is conducted on a limited basics. As breeders, our goal is to always strive to produce only quality. Each breeding is carefully planned to produce type, temperament and soundness, with the potential of finding that next special. Whether you are looking to show or just for companionship, our puppies are always given the love, socialization, nutrition and health care enabling them to reach their full potential. In addition we emphasize training, making the right selection for your family and finding the proper loving home.
