The Australian Cattle Dog is a strong compact, symmetrically built working dog, with the ability and willingness to carry out his allotted task however arduous.

Are you interested in this breed? The OFA, working with the Australian Cattle Dog Club of America, recommends the following basic health screening tests for all breeding stock:
- Hip Dysplasia (OFA or PennHIP)
- Elbow Dysplasia
- ACVO Eye Exam (24m age minimum)
- Progressive Retinal Atrophy prcd (DNA Test)
- Congenital Deafness (BAER)
- Primary Lens Luxation (DNA Test)
Optional but recommended:
- Patellar Luxation
- Cardiac Exam (Basic, Advanced, or Standard Congenital Cardiac Exam)
- Progressive Retinal Atrophy RCD4
- PennHip

Dogs meeting these basic health screening requirements are issued Canine Health Information Center (CHIC) numbers. For potential puppy buyers, CHIC certification is a good indicator the breeder responsibly factors good health into their selection criteria.

The babies are not impressed by the taller ex pens that have been set up to contain them to the non bulbs/flowers part of the yard! This is puppy abuse and torture of the highest level according to them. :D
Caleb (far right) is still looking for his new family.

Stolen from another post...
Breeding dogs is a lifetime of losses.
We lose newborn puppies...
We lose show prospects that don't turn out..
We lose dogs that fail health testing...
We lose dog shows...
We lose sleep way too often...
We lose young mothers...
And after all those losses, we lose our beloved old dogs.
Yet we all are here for the little gains that seem to keep us going.
A puppy that takes its first breath...
A nuzzle by our best old pal...
A ribbon at a dog show...
A light in a family's eyes when they hold their puppy for the first time...
A wag of a tail...
A new generation that turns out better than the one before...
All for the love of a dog and the breed as a whole, our hearts are resilient.💗
