Who we are, and what a heeler needs
Two litters a year, whelped in the house and socialised on stock. Read this before you text us — we would rather talk you out of the wrong dog than rehome one in a year.
A job, a fence, and someone home
We are a two-person operation on eighteen acres — a small cow-calf herd, a hay field, and the cattle dogs that make both possible. Two litters a year, whelped in the house, socialised on stock.
Cattle dogs were bred to move stubborn stock across hard country for hours. That drive does not switch off in a townhouse — it turns into chewed baseboards and nipped ankles. Read these three before you text us.
Not two hours of walking. Herding, scent work, agility, fetch with rules — something that makes the dog think while it moves.
Five feet, no gaps. A bored heeler will find the one loose board in an acre and go check on the neighbours’ cattle.
Puppies nip heels because that is the job. Redirected early it fades; ignored, it becomes a habit around children. We coach you through it.
You text us
Every button here opens a message with the puppy's name in it. Send it as-is or add whatever you want us to know.
We talk it through
A real conversation about your fencing, your hours, your other animals. We will tell you honestly if a heeler is the wrong dog.

“Ours came off that pasture at eight weeks and had the goats sorted by Christmas. They wrote back at ten at night when she ate a wasp.”
They turned us down for the first litter and told us why — fencing. We fixed it, waited eight months, and got the right dog. That says everything.

Weekly photos the whole eight weeks, health records in a folder at pickup, and a text back within the hour every time I have panicked since.

Second dog from them. Both level-headed on stock, both crate-trained before they left the kennel. Our vet asks where they come from.
