(Although we have tried to optimize this page for quick loading it may be slow to load due to the pictures of the pups - sometimes up to five (5) minutes on a 56.6Kbps modem. Please be patient as it is well worth the wait.)
The puppies described on this website and page are "Pure Bred" Blue Australian Cattle Dog puppies only - Not "Pedigreed" Blue Australian Cattle Dog puppies! See our glossary to define and clarify this Term - Click Here.
Although I do make reference in their parents genealogy (lineage) to them being from "Pedigree Australian Cattle Dog Stock" I have no way of being able to prove this to you at present apart from directing you to the owner of the dogs father (grandfather of the puppies), which I am more than happy to do on request.
As I stated above they are Pure Bred Blue Australian Cattle Dog puppies and Not Pedigreed Australian Cattle Dog puppies.
Some Background History
Chloe - the bitch:
General: "Chloe" is an integral part of our family and an excellent guard dog for my business premises and running companion for my wife 'Kim' who is a professional athlete (boxer). Unless she knows you as family or we are around and have accepted you, you will not get into our yard - let alone get out. That is her job.
She is one of the best I have had the privilege to care for over the past 35 years of my involvement with this extremely loyal and faithful breed.
Nature:
She has a playful, loving, friendly and caring nature for her family and
friends of the family and she is absolutely great with kids - although I
never fully trust ANY dog with little kids. She has had kids from the ages
of toddlers through to teenagers around her all the time and has never
bitten any of them let alone growled etc. She has been excellent.
(All toddlers in our yard are always supervised with an adult present
at all times when "Chloe" is out of her yard space - which is
most of the time. This is our own personal responsible dog ownership
rule.)
Markings:
"Chloe" has a large dark barely distinguishable body patch
stretching from the middle of her shoulders down the right side of her
body to her leg and on the left hand side of her neck reaching up to and joining
up with her dark head markings. She also has a patch at the base of her
tail and on her tail.
She has very tan, tan markings on her legs, chest and head. She is a very dark "Blue" to "Black" colour with with a limited white fleck throughout her coat. She has short to medium length coat hair. See the photo below and on the "More Pictures" page for more in depth details.
Other: "Chloe" does venture out the front of our "in town" residence but does not wander far and usually returns within a short time IF she gets the chance to get out and/or when she is called. This is more a female "bitch" trait than it is "Chloe's" trait. Bitches do not tend to wander much and if they do they don't usually wander far.
Genealogy: "Chloe's" bloodlines are from pure bred local Australian Cattle Dogs (ACD's - Blue and Red Heelers - guard dogs) in the Echuca-Moama area.
As I have lived in Echuca since 1979 and have known various breeders in the district I believe several of the Red ACD's in "Chloe's" background may have been pedigreed but am not 100% certain of this. Anyway this is beside the point as both her parents were not pedigreed and therefore she is only a pure bred Blue Australian Cattle Dog - not a pedigreed Australian Cattle Dog.
Father - Pure bred Blue ACD; (Grandfather - Pure bred Blue ACD; Grandmother - Pure bred Blue ACD)
Mother - Pure bred Red ACD; (Grandfather - Pure bred Red ACD; Grandmother - Pure bred Red ACD)
Rowdy - the dog:
General: "Rowdy" is a working dog "in training" with his owner/master Dean Oliver and his father Denny on their horse-breaking and cattle ranch situated in Echuca Village - just outside Echuca.
Nature: I found "Rowdy" to be a very manageable and friendly dog both times they were mated. I picked him up, transported him and kept him for a day or two before returning him myself. I found him to be responsive, good natured and in fact offered to purchase him myself the first time (but alas). He was also a great guard dog with a "big scary bark".
Markings: Apart from a patch covering his left eye and partly on the left side of his head he has no other body patches. "Rowdy" has the expected and standard tan markings on his head, chest and legs and is a silvery "blue" colour with a short to medium length haired coat. See the photo below and on the "More Pictures" page for more in depth details.
Genealogy: "Rowdy's" bloodlines are from the BrettCliff Pedigree line unless noted. "Rowdy" himself has no papers as his mother was pure bred and not pedigreed.
Father - Pedigreed Blue; (Grandfather - Pedigreed Blue Australian Champion ACD; Grandmother - Pedigreed Blue ACD)
Mother - Purebred Red ACD (Not BrettCliff line); (Grandfather - Pedigreed Blue ACD; Grandmother - Pedigreed Blue ACD)
The General Litter Details
This is the third litter from my bitch "Chloe" and the second litter in a row to Dean Oliver's dog, "Rowdy". "Chloe" is 5 going on 6 this year and "Rowdy" is 2 going on 3. The dog we used for the first litter "Dozer" is now deceased. "Dozer" was a full brother to "Rowdy".
We decided to use "Rowdy" again due to the quality Australian Cattle Dog (ACD) pups that the mating produced last time. I have seen several of the dogs and they have turned out fantastic although as yet I do not have any pictures or video footage of the grown pups from the second litter, only of the first litter.
References: I do have the phone numbers or other contact details of most of the purchasers of the Australian Cattle Dog puppies (ACDs) from both of the previous litter/s and can supply them on request.
This litter of ACD puppies proved yet again to be an evenly mixed litter of eight (8) in total, dogs and bitches. They have all shown very good to excellent "type" and overall so far the best markings of any of the litters.
Only one of these Pure Bred Australian Cattle Dog (ACD) puppies had a body patch similar to the bitch "Chloe" generally they all only had a head patch and a tail or base of tail patch. See below for more details and descriptions.
All of the Australian Cattle Dog (ACD) puppies are barking at strangers (and have been for the last four weeks), are eating solids (such as dry puppy food and bones) and drinking by themselves (puppy milk and water). They have been weaned from their mother over the last four weeks.
All of the puppies have what some Australian Cattle Dog (ACD) fanciers term a "Bentley" mark on their foreheads to varying degrees. These are white stars or markings on their foreheads that are only apparent as they mature and darken in coat colour. When they are born they are all white except for their obvious dark patches and so the "Bentley" mark cannot be seen. They all have Tan markings - a "bow-tie" looking tan mark on their chest and Tan colouration on their legs.
If you do get the chance to view them in person you will be struck by the physical size of them as they are amongst the biggest Australian Cattle Dog (ACD) puppies you will find anywhere. There are two reasons for this - and our vet will confirm the first one for you - and that is: -
-
They are fed very well in the critical early development part of their life by both their mother and ourselves with high quality dog foods.
-
And their genetics lend to them being bigger. Their grandfathers on both sides were good sized dogs with the Dog "Rowdy's" pedigreed father being a very thick Australian Cattle Dog (ACD) across the chest with very large paws and a big "boof" head (for want of a better description). And their mother is nearly 1+1/2 inches at the shoulder taller than most bitches, in fact she is similar in height to a dog.
In fact a Vet from Mount Gambier SA (who purchased a bitch from the last litter) kindly informed me the weights of the pups were each on average over 600 grams or more heavier than the average puppy weight for a litter of Australian Cattle Dog (ACD) puppies. Only the runt was less being only around 250 grams heavier than the average puppy weight whilst the biggest pup was nearly 1.5 kgs bigger. Any wonder he drove over eight hours one way just to make sure he got the bitch he wanted!
That being said, I've seen two other fully grown Australian Cattle Dog (ACD) bitches - one from each litter past - and each one of them, apart from being beautiful dogs even if I do say so myself, meet the standard dimensions and markings for an Australian Cattle Dog bitch. Both were larger than average sized puppies.
Other Things We Offer And Do For You
As responsible breeders and lovers of the Australian Cattle Dog and because we are so confident in the quality of our Australian Cattle Dogs all of our puppies are sold with a Lifetime Genetic Defect Guarantee - see below or see the FAQs page.
As well as this, if for any reason and at any time in the future you need to give up your dog and find it a new home, just call us. We offer to take the dog back at no charge (or refund) and find it a new home. We guarantee we will not resell the dog for any more than our out-of-pocket expenses when we are doing this although usually we find a good home and give them the dog free. Depending on where you are situated we may also pick up the dog personally at no charge to you but at the worst you may have to pay the freight to transport the dog back to us. But don't get me wrong, you are not obliged to do this; you may find a good home yourself - this is just an added service we offer.
The Puppies' In Depth, Details And Photos
On this page you will find one photo of each of the parents and one photo of each puppy along with their puppy (temporary) name - my wife and kids like to name them all - and a brief description of the puppy. We've also tried to describe each puppies temperament and personality.
If you want to see more photos then CLICK HERE to go to the "More Pictures" page. You will find several more photos of each Blue Australian Cattle Dog puppy at different ages there.
Note: The descriptions of the puppies in the table below are as you look from the rear of the puppy to the front of the puppy i.e. from it's tail to it's nose.

Bella started out as the largest pup but soon became the runt of the litter - only just - and is turning into a very cheeky little pup. She likes to playfully bite, play, pull hair and loves to lick you. Bella is very friendly and loving but at the same time she has a lot of "go" and a "take no shit" attitude. Although cheeky we can see Bella turning into a loyal and protective family watch dog for caring owners. She is beautifully marked with two (2) black ears and a small black spot in front of the left ear. She has no other markings except for a white star on her forehead.

Weight @ 7 Weeks 4800 grams SOLD Renamed "RIP"

Zak is one of the bigger dogs who has a little of what we personally call the "Grandpa" look - this is due to a lot of white hair on the face. He is a very affectionate puppy and isn't quite as active as the other dogs (although not by much) but he has excellent type and will be a very strong dog. Although he's at the puppy age of cuddling we're certain he will make a good working dog from past puppies similar in temperament to Zak. He has a patch at the base of the tail on the tail only. A small patch over the right ear and on the right hand side of the head and a thin white line on his forehead.

Weight @ 7 Weeks 4600 grams SOLD Renamed "ZOE" Pic at 5 weeks >> |
|
Odd Ball gets her name from the odd patch marking that stretches onto the top of her head. One of the largest females in the litter she is very playful with lots of spunk. A healthy appetite and loving, yet alert nature will see Odd Ball turning into either a working dog or family / guard dog. She has a large patch just above the tail and patches over the right ear stretching onto the top of the head and on the left ear stretching onto the left eye.
|
|
Weight @ 7 Weeks 4400 grams SOLD Renamed "SPUD"
|
|
Di is the loner in the litter and doesn't like to play with the other puppies as much. She has the gentlest or softest temperament of all the puppies. Don't get me wrong - she is not timid. She would be great with a family who has kids who aren't very confident with dogs as she loves to be petted and will go to sleep on them. Kim can see Di being very loyal (as will they all) but perhaps more so an individuals dog. She has a patch over her right eye and ear and her left ear only is black. She has a large clear white diamond on her head and a patch at the base of the tail on the tail only.
|
|
Weight @ 7 Weeks 4400 grams SOLD Renamed "COOPER"
|

Zorro - where do I start? Zorro is the most mischievous of all of the puppies as you can probably tell by his photo. A very active puppy and the finest in features of the dogs he is very, very cheeky and will make a good working dog for the right owner. As a family dog he is going to need extra attention and training we feel. In other words he is usually a very, very busy little puppy. I always find it hard to pick a favourite but Zorro just about has my vote. He has a patch over the right hand side ear and head and a patch at the base of his tail on the tail only. His left ear is black too. |
|
Weight @ 7 Weeks 4600 grams SOLD Renamed "CRUISER" |
|
Ferral is another one of the larger puppies with the "Grandpa" look we talked about above. He's very affectionate yet playful and has a lot of spunk about him and it is felt he would make either a good family / guard dog or a working dog. He has a large patch on the right hand side of his head and a smaller patch on the left hand side of the head. He also has a small patch at the base of the tail but not on the tail.
|
|
Weight @ 8 Weeks 5100 grams SOLD Renamed "HEMI" |
|
Zorrette, like Zorro, is the other very mischievous pup in the litter. She too like Zorro is finer featured in the face than the other puppies and is very active. Zorrette is cheeky and loves to get her own way. Kim feels she would make a very loyal single person dog. She has a patch over her left eye and on the left hand side of her head and a spot near left ear. She also has a smaller patch over the right hand side of her head, eye and ear. A large patch is at the base of her tail with a smaller patch next to it.
|
|
Weight @ 7 Weeks 4900 grams SOLD Renamed "GUS"
|
|
Tezza is one of the the largest of the pups in this litter and has a guard dog nature. He was the first pup to start barking at people when he'd just barely opened his eyes. Although he likes to have a whinge if he doesn't get his own way he won't tolerate any rubbish from the other pups. Tezza has a very lovable character and will make either a good guard / watch dog or working dog. He has a small patch on the right hand side of his head and a large patch on the left hand side of his head. He has a small patch on middle of his back more to left hand side. He also has a patch on the base of his tail to right hand side a little.
