Welcome to kennel Working Mates!

The goal of my breeding on Austrailian cattle dog is to breed dogs for what they are bred to do!
In other words I concentrate on if the dog can put out to pasture, if it is responsive and has the energi to concentrate on what it is doing.

At the same time I only breed on healthy dogs. Because a unhealthy dog can´t do the same kind of work. I always x-ray hips and elbows.

Of course I also wan´t a good- looking dog. But in the first place I concentrate on the work capacity. I do not use a dog just because it is good- looking. 
The dog has to provide the breed in some kind of way, it can be a good work capacity, a nice colour or a good movement. The goal is always to find the perfect balance between beauty and brains!
 
When I sell a puppy I wan´t the owner to work with the dog in some way or the other, whether it will be agility, hurding, obedience, freestyle or tracking dosn´t matter.
Before the puppies leave me they will have met sheep and I will evaluate how the puppy behaves with the sheep. Therefore I would like to se the puppy hurding when it is older, you can come back with the puppy or hurd elsewer and send me a video. Just so that I can follow up the hurding ability on my offspring.
Now I do not mean that you have to be a pro on hurding, just that you have an intrest for what this breed is meant to do! At the same time I hope that this helps to create a good relationship with my puppy buyers.

A nother thing that is important is that all of my buyers x-ray hips and elbows, this helps me to evaluate my breeding for the better!
