Twisted L Cattle Dogs

19/11/2024

Not sure if it’s the full moon or Christmas coming but it’s time for an FYI post again.

I AM NOT breeding at this time.
I have no puppies. And I have no planned litters.

I have re-homed the 4 adult dogs that I had previously listed and am keeping 5.

I have 2 stud dogs here at home and 1 in Missouri that are available for stud services to select outside females. They are AKC, health tested, and behaviorally sound.

If you do not currently have a dog from me, it is NOT appropriate to call me after 8:00pm and before 7:00am. I will not answer and might block your number depending on my mood.

If you currently own a dog I raised, I am still available for anything you may need. You are always welcome to message or call. And I will still take back any dog I raised no questions asked.

That being said.
I AM NOT A RESCUE.
I will not take in an aggressive dog with a bite history whelped by another breeder because you don’t want it anymore.
I have kids and other dogs, and I will not risk their safety.

I’m a little disheartened that I needed to make a post this blunt, but the crazy calls I’ve dealt with lately made a public post necessary.

Wishing you all a safe and fulfilling holiday season. 🦃🎄

July 18, Creed went on to new adventures with Vanessa. Camping, hiking, and even dog shows!

August 24, Twist joined Abby’s family. She gets to go boating, camping, hiking, and snuggling with Abby.

October 5th, I said see ya later to Jinx as she joined her new family in TN. She has the sweetest new brother. And new parents that absolutely adore her.

Dealer is still here for a couple weeks. 🫶🏼

Downsizing and pressing pause on my program has been one of the hardest things for me. Lots of tears.

But keeping all the dogs and not giving them 110% isn’t fair. No matter how much I love them. No matter how sad it makes me.

As you can see from the photos. This is what was best for my land sharks.

Do I miss these dogs?
Every day. With my whole heart.
But they are right where they need to be. 💜

YOU GUYS!

Guess who gets to stay in the Twisted L family!
Deals will be Illinois bound after he has been neutered and I can’t wait to see all his new adventures! 💙💙

A big thank you to everyone who shared all my posts over the last couple months. You guys have been the real MVPs. 🫶🏼

Got to watch Simon jump this weekend. He and Emily are such a great team!

He averages about 22’.
The average for the cattle dog breed is 15’.

Simon, (Twisted L’s Simon Sez How High) is standing at stud to outside females. He is located in the St. Louis area. Feel free to send me a message if you have any questions.

Am headed to a dock diving competition near 🐾 Amana Iowa 🐾 SUNDAY Sept 8th 🐾 to watch one of my other dogs jump and can bring Dealer with if there are any potential families interested in meeting him.

Dealer is still looking for a new home.

Took him camping this weekend and he didn’t miss a beat! Never once looked wrong at the horses. Never barked. Slept in the camper each night with no issues - no accidents, no chewing. He ties well and does super well on a leash. Really good recall. Fantastic with all the kids.

We were confronted by two other decent sized dogs that were not “other dog friendly”. Dealer was perfect. He didn’t react. He didn’t bark. He didn’t lunge back. Nothing. I redirected his focus a couple times and we walked on.

We were also rushed up on by a little doodle with no manners and a GSP that wasn’t leashed. Again, Dealer handled both wonderfully. No complaints from me.

This weekend was really a testament that he would thrive as a neutered male in a pet home with or without children and other dogs with people who understand the breed.

We are located in Stanley Iowa.
Please call, text, or message the page with any questions.

📢‼️ Update 8/16/24

🌟 If you share this post and it results in either of these guys finding their new family, I will venmo you $100 🌟

AKC 4Hills Stackin’ The Deck. “Dealer”

He is a 3 year old, intact, blue mottled male. Has produced one litter for me because that is all I’ve wanted from him. He has a clean genetic panel through PawPrint, OFA normal elbows, and OFA hip scores. He is available to a pet or breeding home. He is 22” and 70lbs - produces beautiful puppies.

He has been around cattle, horses, sheep, pigs, donkeys. He has a high prey drive and a medium working drive. Exposure to chickens and felines have been in controlled settings - he’s done ok, super easy to call off. Would not leave him alone.

He’s good with people, children, and most other dogs. He is kennel, crate, and house trained. He is good on a leash and I could finish his CGC before he left if that trips someone’s trigger. He is good in public. He’s been camping. He likes to go all the places and do all the things. He’s a very affectionate dog.

🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾

AKC Diamond Falls Twist of Fate “Twist”

She is a 3 year old, intact, blue female. Available to a pet or breeding home. She has not had a litter for me, life got in the way. She has a clean genetic panel through PawPrint. She has normal elbows and good hips scored through OFA. She is current on all vaccines, dewormer, flea/tick. She is roughly 18” and 43lbs.

She is good with new people, children, and other dogs. She is kennel, crate, and house trained.
She is decent on a leash, could use a little more work there.
She has been around cattle, horses, sheep, pigs, donkeys. She has recently had exposure to chickens & small kittens and so far hasn’t had any trouble leaving them alone. She has gone on camping trips and done well. She is not a dog that has or wants to greet every dog she meets. She sticks to her people.
She is low in the pecking order here. She is very sweet natured and a bit timid at first. Not a mean bone. Doesn’t care for “loud” people with a lot of yelling. She doesn’t have any interest in working livestock. She would excel with someone willing to keep building her confidence and potentially do dog sports - she’s wicked fast. She deserves to be someone’s number one.

With all the sad surrounding me rehoming the majority of my program, thought I would share a little happy.

I am keeping Goose.
He’s two this year, fully health tested, and is really everything I love about the breed.

Hopefully in a few years I’ll be in a position to breed him to Roux.

Until then, he is standing at stud to select outside females.

Formally announcing that Twisted L Cattle Dogs will not be having any more litters in the near future.

I have 3 adult dogs still looking for new homes - Dealer, Jinx, Twist. If you have interest in any of them, please send me a message.

If you have an application in, you will get an email at some point this week letting you know I will not have puppies available any time soon.

Thanks for the ride friends, it’s been a good one. 🫶🏼

Finally home from the first camping trip of the year. Creed and Brisby went with me. Brisby is a pro, and this was Creed’s first trip.

He enjoyed the morning nature walks, all the water, and all the snacks. The dogs stay in the camper when we ride and there is nothing worse than a dog that barks the whole time you’re gone - not a peep from Creed. Not even when he heard us come back into camp. He would wait patiently while we tended to horses for his turn.

He was good with kids and new people and did pretty good with other dogs. He is 6 mo old and still learning what is acceptable play with dogs we don’t know. We will get there.

Overall, no qualms.
I think I will take him along for the next trip as well. 🐾

I’ve never owned one that wasn’t a water dog.
Roux is no different.
Emily is warming her up to dock diving with a splash pad. 🤣

16/04/2024

Someday those ears will stand. But for now they only stand when he’s upside down…. Which is more often than you would think. 🤣

Creed, 5 months old.
