About Us

IMG_5470

We have had the pleasure of owning Australian Stumpy Tailed Cattle Dogs (ASTCD) for over 20 years. Although these active, intelligent and loyal dogs are very much part of the Australian rural heritage, we are concerned that the recent fad of 'designer dogs' has caused a steep decline in the number of pure red ASTCD's bred here in Australia.

OUR AIM

Our aim is to play our small part in keeping this amazing and versatile breed alive so it does not disappear into the annals of Australian pastoral history.

OUR GOAL

To achieve a lineage of high standard pure breed red ASTCD's with agility, intelligence, speed, stamina and temperament that are suitable for work, show and active lifestyle families.

SALE & EXPORT

We are not supportive of another Boston Heeler, Cowboy Corgi, Heeler Pei, Stump Double, Texas Heeler or whatever cocktail you care to dream up.

Export would only ever be considered if buyers abide by stringent rules to keep the ASTCD exactly what it is, an Australian Stumpy Tailed Cattle Dog.
