The ranch dogs around here are pretty stinking rank. I don't need a dog that's tearing ears off my sheep and cows. I want a solid contact, solid release, good vocal response and a fast tracking dog when working stock.
Thank you 🥰 I really appreciate that! I work extremely hard on being a good breeder with values and a goal. My goal is healthy affordable service prospects and ranch dogs.
My goal with this litter (was supposed to be NEXT year's goal) was to have a nicely balanced litter. Temperaments, health, trainability, workability and drive.
@Case It sounds like you're a responsible purpose breeder. 56 puppies in 12 years is literally around 6 litters. So that's definitely not puppymill/byb energy.
I grew up on a ranch, and I'm also a Veteran, so I probably appreciate the working cattle dogs as well as purpose bred Service Dogs more than most.
I have a litter once about every 2 years. My stud at 12yrs old have 56 puppies on the ground. 38 are service and therapy dogs, 10 are herding stock dogs, 2 are pets at active homes and 6 are just little puppies in my house. I know where all of my puppies are, have extensive contracts, I will ALWAYS take my puppies back.
High energy on some and some no. It's pretty wild to watch haha. I trained one BC BM for a friend last year and he's was AMAZING, then the next one I trained was frankly a stubborn asshole. My girl lasso is chill and easy going. Her brother is more herding style and gets to work alot on my stock.
Also. Bellingham, depending on where she lives, you don't need a breeding license in most states. Especially if you don't have more than a certain amount of dogs.
In the state I am in I am not required to have a license to breed because I have so few litters AND I have only one unaltered adult male and one unaltered adult female
@Bellingham they sound more like purposebred working dogs, most ranchers use proven stock pairings for a purpose vs focused on papered dogs, many purebred breeders have bred the dogs so far from their purpose it's not always easy to find working lines that are proven. Especially for farm dogs. Shepherds/Mals make great farm dogs. I can see how a Collie cross would make a good ranch dog.
I'm generally in the same boat as you, but I also grew up on a ranch and I do know some purpose bred crosses have their place. It sounds like she's not just pumping out puppies and they're going to a Veteran program for SD work, so she's not gonna make money on that.
