We have been raising Australian Cattle Dogs since 1998. Unfortunately we found that most of the Cattle Dogs in our area have health problems due to poor breeding and decided that we wanted to change that.
We have spent a significant amount of time seeking out the best kennels across the nation. We make sure that our breeding stock have good blood lines and are fully health tested. It is important to us that we raise beautiful healthy dogs with good personalities and working drive. Even if you are not looking for a working dog, it should still have the right traits and drive.
Here at the Rundown Ranch our dogs are a part of our family. We take pride in raising nice puppies that will be suitable for most lifestyles. We do request that anyone interested in a cattle dog do their research first, to make sure this is the right breed for you and your family.
We require our puppies to stay with us until they are 8-10 weeks old to give them the best possible start. We do not and will NOT dock tails. It is an AKC breed standard, and we believe they use their tail to assist with their balance. When you purchase a puppy from Rundown Ranch Cattle Dogs, it will be registered with the AKC. It will be de-wormed and will have had its age-appropriate vaccinations with documentation. Learn about what makes our puppy program unique. on our puppy program page.
All of our Australian Cattle Dog Puppies are treated like family and are handled daily. We take a little bit different approach to feeding and healthcare than most breeders. We don’t just look at the cost of care, we look at the quality first and foremost. All of our dogs are insured through Trupanion and each puppy from a litter will come with limited benefits.
Here at the Rundown Ranch we only feed raw diets once the puppy reaches 12 months of age. During the transition from mother’s milk to raw, we feed a combination of a top quality natural kibble and raw food. Even their treats and bones are important. We found a quality commercial treat that consists of only 5 natural ingredients with no colors or fillers. And you can always find a raw beef bone or two (or three or more) laying around for them to gnaw. Bones provide important nutrients from the marrow and help keep their teeth clean and white. They also help prevent chewing on the wrong things. Like people, dogs need additional vitamins and supplements. Cattle dogs are active and require joint care from an early age to minimize arthritis and joint related issues. We regularly do blood work to monitor their overall health. Our dogs are in excellent condition and it shows in their coats and annual exams.
