Located in the beautiful hill country of Texas. We have been raising beautiful, healthy, and incredibly smart Austrailian Cattle Dogs (blue heelers) for 25 years. They are carefully chosen for certain characteristics such as color, temperament, and ability to learn. They are raised in a healthy, loving environment. All pups are given their first round of vaccinations and dewormer before leaving the home.

All pups come from our original blue heeler named Snip. Snip was an AKC registered Australian Cattle Dog who lived to be 21 years old! He was our livestock herding expert and could move any animal in any direction. He could move animals as small as chickens to horses and cattle. Our current sire is named Baloo. He is every bit as smart and beautiful as his dad Snip.

The Australian Cattle Dog (also known as the ‘Queensland Heeler’, ’Blue Heeler’, ‘Red Heeler’, or ‘Hall’s Heeler’) comes from Ireland—no, just kidding, Australia. When the wide open plains of Australia were opened for grazing in the early 19th century, the cattle were so active and unruly that the established lines of European herders weren’t up to the task. In 1840, a man named Thomas Hall crossed some blue merle Smooth Highland Collies with dingoes to create a breed known as the ‘Hall’s Heelers.’ These were crossed with the Bull Terrier in the 1870’s, making the breed more aggressive, and later with the Dalmatian for increased ‘carriage’ capability—the ability to run alongside horses. The Australian Cattle Dog’s distinct appearance and highly capable herding skills gained it notoriety across Australia. It was later imported to America and recognized by the American Kennel Club in 1980. An Australian Cattle Dog named Bluey lived from 1910 to 1939, giving it the Guinness World Record for longest canine life span.

In the history of the Australian Cattle Dog, one of the “cast of characters” was Tom Bentley, alternately described as a butcher from Glebe Island or a cattle farmer from New South Wales. He owned a dog from the pure strain developed by Thomas Hall (blue or red speckled pups known as “Hall’s Heelers”) that dazzled all who saw the dog, then watched him work. Bentley’s Dog, as the dog came to be known, was a highly popular stud, and whether it’s just a few hairs that need close inspection to be seen, or an obvious white blaze on the forehead, all Australian Cattle Dogs are said to have what has come to be known as the “Bentley Mark” or “Bentley Star” because of this dog. A black tail-root spot seen occasionally in blue dogs is also said to be attributed to Tom Bentley’s dog.

When you think about the Australian Cattle dog, you probably imagine their breathtaking red or blue coats. The contrast of colors with patches is always a head-turner when people see them. But despite being known for their amazing colors, both Blue and Red Heelers are born with a solid white coat and any black spots they will have- with the exception of potentially some light markings on the faces.
However this white coat doesn’t last for very long. Puppies tend to grow color fairly quickly. And by the 6th week, it’s very likely that the full colors of the coat may already be visible. It’s kind of similar to how spotted Dalmatians are born with a solid white coat too.
