Welcome to Lakota Australian Cattle Dogs, located in beautiful Central Oregon. We are a member of the Australian Cattle Dog Club of America, and a Code of Ethics breeder, we are also recognized as a Breeder Of Merit with the American Kennel Club. We have loved and lived with cattle dogs since 1983, beginning with Ringo, a red dog from Australia, who definitely made an impact on everyone who knew him. We occasionally have puppies available for placement into forever family homes. If you are interested in living with an australian cattle dog, we suggest you do your homework, and make sure that this is the right breed for you and that you are willing to devote yourself fully to your new family member, before acquiring one. There are too many dogs in shelters as testament to those people not willing to take the time and follow through on the commitment of having a dog, or that once the dog grew out of the cute puppy phase they were a breed that was totally not right for them. If you are not sure you are ready for a puppy, contact your local rescue agency, and see if they don't just have the perfect companion for you who has already gone through the puppy phase, and is looking for a new family to call their own. If you are devoted to bringing a puppy into your family, we recommend that you buy from a breeder who does all the genetic testing on their breeding dogs, and who will give you a written guarantee backing up the puppy that you get from them. Nothing is worse than bringing home a new family member, getting attached, and then having some horrible health issue take them away from you. It may cost you a little bit more to buy from a reputable breeder versus a $250 gamble puppy, but you want your new family member to be with you for as long as possible, and to have the fewest amount of health problems possible. If you ask a breeder for proof of their health testing and you get any flack - MOVE ON! There are plenty of pretty faces - pick one with the genetic soundness to back it up and you will thank yourself for your diligence for years to come! Inquiries are always welcome...browse around, say hello. Thanks for stopping by and visiting!
