OUR STORY
Australian Cattle Dog
Breeder with a Passion for Quality
At Cover Cattle Dogs, our journey with Australian Cattle Dogs (ACDs) is deeply rooted in family, passion, and purpose. We’ve cherished this remarkable breed for its intelligence, resilience, and unwavering loyalty for generations. My father, Tony and his brother, nurtured their love for ACDs long before I was born, laying the foundation of our legacy. In mid-2024, I began breeding with a small group of exceptional lines—lines carefully selected for their proven temperament, conformation, and working ability. Today, we pridefully continue this tradition, raising puppies that embody the best of the breed. The next generation!
Our Aim
We are committed to breeding Australian Cattle Dogs of the highest standard, guided by ethical practices and a deep respect for the breed. Every decision we make is rooted in three core priorities:
-
Temperament First: Our dogs are bred to be calm, confident, and affectionate—ideal companions for families, working partners, or show champions.
-
Health & Longevity: We prioritise genetic health, ensuring all breeding stock are rigorously tested for ACD-related conditions. This commitment ensures our puppies thrive for years to come.
-
True-to-Type Bloodlines: We selectively breed from traditional, proven bloodlines known for their classic ACD traits—athleticism, drive, and the iconic "red or blue" coat.
About Us
Every puppy is raised in a nurturing, family-centric environment where love and socialisation are paramount. Our pups interact with children, other pets, and everyday household life from their earliest days, preparing them to adapt seamlessly to their forever homes. Whether destined for the show ring, the agility course, or your lounge room, each dog leaves us with a solid foundation of trust and confidence.
For us, breeding isn’t just a hobby—it’s a calling. We aim to preserve the ACD’s storied heritage while meeting the needs of modern owners. Our puppies become guardians, herders, competitors, or devoted best mates. Whatever their path, they carry our values: integrity, resilience, and unconditional love.
