| I have had ACD'S (Australian Cattle Dogs) Since 1988 when I purchased my first AKC registered male in Klamath Falls OR. MCKAY'S RUSTY BRUT AMBER GUYNES boys loved him to death, and he was their self- appointed protector. I decided that I wanted to breed these dogs not only as great cattle dogs but also as great family dogs. It took me several years to find just the right female she had to have the looks and the personality I wanted in my dogs. In 1996 I found a Female that had everything I was looking for in Bonanza OR. We purchased MCKAY'S RUBY RED SQUIRT (the name was my son's Idea I bet you can't guess what he was drinking) at that time I did not know there were several different registries. And when I finally got her papers she was NSDR (National Stock Dog) registered but by then it was too late, she had already became a part of our family so we registered Rusty with NSDR and started breeding. Ruby and Rusty had 3 litter's (24) pups together before we decided to retire Rusty in 1999. We kept one pup form the last breeding so we could keep his bloodline. NSDR registered ROBINSON'S SQUIRT was born in July 1998 she is the pup from Rusty & Ruby she is a nice dog with a good build and a good personality. We moved from Burns OR to Sheridan OR. In Aug. 1998 and My parents moved in with us and my dad fell in love with Squirt so I gave her to him, (since she still lived with us). She was breed to our new Male Squirt passed away in fall 2011 NSDR registered MCKAY'S PEPSI (yep you guessed it Lucas again) I Purchased him in Portland OR. His papers were not ready yet when I purchased him. It took me almost two years to get his paperwork. And when I finally received his paperwork and found that the seller lied about his pedigree I neutered him. AKC registered MCKAY'S DR. PEPPER'S BLUE DIAMOND HOBO (do you see a pattern here) was purchased from WA. To replace Pepsi in the breeding program Doc was a great dog wonderful personality & conformation, he was friendly kind loving and super smart. He was poisoned in 2004 NSDR registered MCKAY'S FRESCA is the pup I keep form Squirt & Doc's last litter Squirt was spayed in 2005 Fresca is so much like her grandma Ruby it is great. She is a nice dog traditional heeler look of Rusty & Dew. But fine boned like Ruby AKC registered CH. MCKAY'S MOUNTAIN DEW CODE RED was purchased in 2005 in WA to replace Doc. Dew is a great dog wonderful personality he loves to play ball but he also loves to lay on your feet he is very easy going. I think he is the best male cattle dog I have had. A real class clown with a nice pedigree. I tried to match his pedigree to that of sierra for show quality stock dogs while still maintaining the personality of the family dog that I have grown to love. Dew earned his title in July of 08 while being shown by his breeder Linda Conroy of Spurs N Spokes. Dew was neutered in July 2011 and is living with his new family in Bandon loving being retired AKC registered LAKOTA MCKAY'S SIERRA MIST was purchased form Crocked Mountain Ranch OR. In 2004 In response to your request to bring the AKC back into my breeding program She is out of champion stock dogs and has a lineage of who is who in the show ring. Dew & Sierra produced AKC show quality pups. Sierra died suddenly spring 2006 I miss her every day but I did keep one of her pups close. AKC registered 7UP MOUNTAIN MIST RN is the pup form Sierra & Dew. She is smart and friendly just like her parents. She is owned by Jennifer Choate and has been showing since the spring of 07. I have retained visitation and breeding rights so watch for her pups HER FIRST LITTER IS HERE JAN 6 2009 7up is also now titled RN. AKC registered MCKAY'S PEPSI JAZZ Was purchased from Call me Farms in Florida. She had one litter of puppies July 23, 08 with dew. Then she was spayed and moved to Vandozer Vineyards she is th official meet and greet dog there. She was just not happy here. AKC registered JONES BLU BBLGUM is a 1/2 Brother to Sierra Mist. He is built like a brick house with a nice head I gave him to my son Travis. And they are inseparable I thought Jones was going to die when Travis left for boot camp. But is not letting him out of his site since his return. NSDR registered 6pk's mckay's PEPSI MAX is my new NSDR breeder she will continue my original line of Cattledogs and replace Fresca in the breeding program. She is built like a tank she is out of Fresca & Jones. She is 45# @ 6 months old. Takes after her sire. I am enjoying watching her grow up she is such a sweet loving girl. Her sister Blue has turned out to be an outstanding herding dog as well! AKC registered CH 6PK'S MOUNTAIN DEW BLACKBERRY DASH Is my new line of AKC show & Breeding dogs they are proving to be outstanding in the show ring and so far all her health clearances are looking good! She is the daughter of 7up mountain mist & CH Castle Butte Wyatt Earp They will be my new Line! AKC registered 6PK'S SIERRA MIST CRANBERRY SPLASH Is my other puppy from 7's litter. I think you can see why I just could not let ether one of these puppies go they are both outstanding in conformation and personality! I truly believe that they are going to take my Kennel into a higher level of quality AKC Champion dogs. AKC registered 6pk's Barqs is my pick of the litter form an out breeding to Dew he was supposed to be a female but with a litter of 6 males he was shown and then sold to a show/breeder home I retained breed backs to him for future use! AKC registered 6Ppk's Spaders Red Flash is my new stud dog brought in to replace dew in my breeding program he is still young and learning the ropes and trying to prove himself he has a test litter on the ground now so we will see how they mature. NSDR registered 6pk Cocoa Cola AKA Berry is a pup form Dew & Pepsi Max this was Dew's last litter she is owned by Jennifer choate and is staying close as well you will see her in a Rally or Obedience ring soon. This is my ACD story. I have had several dogs over the years some great, and some not so great. Some of them did not make it into the breeding program due to their temperaments; I am looking for great family dogs, not just great working dogs, in a of colors variety & builds so that I am able to meet your expectations for this breed. I am also working on breeding the best show dogs I can for conformation, agility & obedience. I want these dogs acknowledged for all that they are! Not just herding, working & Family. We also test all our adults and there are CHIC Numbered as soon as they are old enough! Testing starts at 6 months old with there prelims and then again at 2 years for there certification. (This breed will not grow up and eat your children it will die protecting them) I started showing dogs in 2007 thanks to Jennifer Choate she took 7up and started showing her just to keep her socialised. I never had any interest in the show ring but since I had one of my dogs in it I went to watch her. And went WOW that is easy Hum. 7up went Best of Breed at her first show. So I entered 7's sire Dew and the competition was on 7 & Dew showed and went back and forth winning. It got into my blood and now is a big part of my kennels. Since we were attending so many shows. We decided that we had to earn money at the shows. So we started the CARE Hearing business doing BAER hearing testing at all the dog shows in Oregon & Idaho. The more I Breed, Show, Test, Love and live with this breed of dog the more certain that I am that they are truly the best breed of dog in the world! BUT they are not all equal and bad breeders do produce bad dogs. Lack or health testing & inbreeding has produced ACD'S that are not good. So as with anything do your research and check out your breeder & kennel to insure that you get the very best of the breed! |
