Dogs & Puppies



 
General Breeding Information

I breed for CONFIDENCE in the dog's mind. Confidence is simply POWER.

I also like to put stamina in the dogs. Dogs that have strong bones and good feet that can travel well in all conditions.

I love speed and quickness to respond in my dogs.

I like the short-haired dogs but do not breed for coat -- as I said, I breed for confidence. I have learned throughout the years how important a thicker hair coat is because of the protection on the dog as a shield against strong kicks that could otherwise injure a slick coat.

Sue died at age 12 but the legacy she left is very strong. She has produced some of the top dogs in the nation. Loren Holme's LEO, 2007 Highest Ranking Cattle Dog in the Nation.

SOLD PUPS/DOGS

Broken Circle "Davey"   (Reba X Wizz)

8 week old male pup

SOLD

sold to Richard Brandon, Greeneville, TN 

    other littermates sold to :
Garth Millard DVM  Caldwell, ID
Ken Johnson, Yelm , WA
Robert & Heather Schmitke, Alberta Canada

 

Reba has produced some of the most well rounded ranch dogs I have seen.  They love pressure and do excellent work in feedlots/pens.  They are natural casting dogs with exceptional gathering instincts.  They can be trusted to get the job done because they think on their own. They are strong minded and pushy. Reba's pups also have great character.  I have heard it said from many people who have Reba offspring "They are wise like old dogs, you can see it in their eyes......but yet only pups".

This cross is my Pride and Joy. Litter mates to Skeink and scattered through-out the North West working on cattle ranches as incredible gritty tough "thinking machines".  Many of these ranches have 2 of this cross!
They are out of REBA my most prized ranch dog and by SHEP who is a one of a kind powerful confident male.  Both parents are getting lots of age and these cross won't be around much longer.
Skeink has the right amount of eye and the confidence to  back himself up.  He likes to control livestock and keep everything together and gathered. He is intense and a neat dog to watch  (even at his young age of 6 months).  He will be medium coated and mostly black (which I love).
