STUD SERVICES

Breeding a litter of puppies is a responsibility not to be undertaken unless you have the time, energy, money, knowledge and facilities to do it right. Puppies are not "playtoys"; they are living, feeling, intelligent beings. When you bring a litter of puppies into the world you must accept the responsibility of caring for them properly and finding responsible homes for them.

Please do not breed your pet because you want a puppy just like him or her. Chances are you will not get one just like him or her, and it is far easier and safer to just purchase a pup. In doing so you will not be bringing more puppies into this already crowded world. Also, keep in mind that most people who "want one of his or her puppies" will actually change their minds once the puppies arrive. If your intention is to allow your children to experience the miracle of birth, remember to also visit your local humane shelter on euthanasia day so your children can see the reality of death as well. We have a video, as well does your local library if your children want to see puppies being born.

Is your bitch a good representative of the Australian Cattle Dog? Remember that it takes more than just a pretty face! Should she really be bred? Temperament, soundness, health and conformation are prime considerations--Have you studied up on the breed? What is her pedigree? This is important--breeding is not just putting a male and female dog together, you must know the dogs in his or her background. This will give you an idea of what you will be producing in regard to size, temperament and potential health problems as well as other considerations. Please download and look over our Stud contract below. If you still want to breed your dog and you feel you can meet the criteria, then give us a call and we can talk Heelers!

We recquire a Current Negative Brucellosis (within 10 days of breeding), Current vaccination and worming record for all bitches. We DO NOT take pick of the litter in exchange for stud services. Our flat set fee for stud services is $250 Non-Negotiable.
