October 5th, 2017 We raise
Queensland Heelers and Australian Stumpy Tail Heelers These dogs are my pets and only kenneled during heat and just prior to whelping, (to ensure the purity of the breed and to keep mom and new pups safe). We have over 30 acres here for them to run on... and they do. I regulate mating and sell their offspring to perpetuate this amazing breed. I currently have 6 females and 3 males, and can only breed them as they come into heat, so it may take time to get you your heeler puppy...there is no way to rush this process, unfortunately. Your patience is greatly appreciated. It will be worth the wait, I promise. Watch a cute video of one of my females years ago...playing with her pups.
The Latest News:
We have added a new miniature heeler to our pack. A blue with tan named Selleck.
He will be ready to sire pups in the winter of 2017 and resides in Badger, CA (up the road from us) with my parents. We also recently acquired his full-brother from the same litter and his name is Shelton Blue (He is also blue with tan, and has raccoon type patches on both eyes, but no spots like his brother-great personality). A picture of Shelton Blue is coming soon. They are grandsons of McConaughey, so will continue this great line. Once they are full-grown I will weigh them and post on the site, but they will be small heelers. Sad News We have sad news...Trixi passed away during labor on the 18th of September; along with all of her pups. In all my years of raising these amazing dogs, this is the first time that has happened, and only the second time we ever had a problem during delivery. Trixi was a huge presence here on the ranch, and will be greatly missed!

Two of our newest females (pics on left taken at about 2 mos old and then about 6 months old on right-they were born 9/2016) They should be ready to breed after their second heat in the fall 2017.
Hawn Hawn is blue without the tan-softest coat I have ever felt She has had one heat and we are waiting for her second heat.
Kidman Kidman is a Sarandon x Tatum daughter-born without a tail, so she is a stumpy tail Both have amazing little personalities! ...and they are growing up fast. Kidman has had one heat already and is now in her second heat and will breed to Clooney for pups around December 10th, 2017.
**Current heat/breeding status of my females: Pfeiffer is showing signs of heat for pups in December. Bonnie was bred to Clooney, and due late October, 2017 (not showing yet, but we shall see) Sarandon didn't take last time so she is due back in heat Jan. Kidman is in heat now and breeding to Clooney for pups around December 10th, 2017, if she takes. Hawn is being watched closely for her second heat as well. With 6 females, we should have litters pretty regularly from October through March, 2018 Note: We are currently in search of a nice red or blue female from 1 year to 4 years old to add to our breeding females. Please email if you know of one in need of a good home.

Please email me to let me know you are doing this so I can keep track for you.
Keep in mind that if you reserve a pup: We may very well have plenty of pups to accommodate everyone in a particular batch of pups, but if we don't, being flexible will get you a pup sooner; being understanding and patient is greatly appreciated. Normally there are a few reservations, especially for blue females (the current trend).
Please take a moment to read How It Works for payment information as well as the process that we use once a litter is born.
(before you reserve, after being sure you want a pup from me, as I cannot offer refunds)

Information on my Current Breeding Females: Smaller females: Pfeiffer- small blue female (with tan feet, butterfly on chest, and muzzle) about 29 pounds-comes from a working dog stock. She is a little more stand-offish with strangers-very loving and playful once she knows you, but her line is very faithful (never bites, but shows her teeth if cornered-she walks away if she doesn't know you and will watch from a distance).
Average size heelers:
Sarandon - This female is a little larger (45 pounds); very sweet, loving, friendly. She is content to lay at your feet or follow you where ever you go. She picked my grown son as her "guy" and squeaks at him while she wiggles all over; friendly to everyone though. She throws multi-colored and traditional colored pups as well. You never know with her. Lots of possibilities. Aniston - This is my tallest female, but not real wide so she weighs about 49 pounds. She is blue with tan feet, butterfly on chest, muzzle, ears. She also has black spots. She goes camping with me and back and forth to the ranch/home. Very smart and well-behaved. Sticks close to me and always has an eye on me. She had to be fixed in October of 2016 but Clooney is her son and will continue this great line with the same great disposition, focus, and color-his sire is McConaughey so both lines are there with a tad more of a stocky build (McConaughey weighed 80 pounds). Bonnie - This blue (with tan markings on feet, chest) female looks very similar to Pfeiffer, but is a little wider faced and weights about 45 pounds. Very loving and active. Loves the kids.
Trixi - This red female was adopted by us last year at 3 years old. She is a stumpy tail heeler. She weighs about 45 pounds and is very sweet, loving and friendly, and loves the kids. Kidman - This red female is Sarandon and Tatum's daughter and is a stumpy tail heeler. She looks to be average in size and has a wonderful, calm disposition. Ready to breed fall of 2017. Hawn - This blue (no tan) female is almost chocolate in color. She is not related to any of my dogs. She has a great, active, sweet personality and loves the kids. Ready to breed fall of 2017.
Air TRANSPORTATION
* Pup can fly at 8 weeks old after Vet Exam and requires Airline approved kennel, bowls, bedding, etc.
*Try Delta Airlines first as they seem to work well. Plane tickets are around $215, and fairly easy to arrange-out of Fresno, CA.-I may have to pay on this end, but you make the reservation on your end (coordinate this with me so I am sure to be available) and pay the ticket amount to me via Paypal right before the day of the flight along with reimbursement for the medium size kennel, bowls, bedding, etc (required by airline). This cost is $95 and is reimbursed to me before the flight. Vet exam is paid directly to the Vet by credit card or Care Credit Card, or mail them a check in advance.
*Alaskan Airlines to Washington was $184 in 2012 when I flew a pup once-you can try them also.
Note: I will drive your pup to the Vet for the exam and to the Airport for you (55 minute drive for Airport and 15 minutes to the Vet- each way, for each of these trips)-free of charge (usually at 3 am for the airport); which is fine by me so no worries when they give you that early flight time. ;)
-a medium kennel and feed/water dish is required by the airline and I can get that for you and you can reimburse via paypal at Paypal ($95 for all-includes airline required feed/water dish for air travel, blanket, absorbent padding, baggie of food, water bottle and paperwork).
-a Veterinary exam is $54 at Lone Oak Veterinary Clinic and they will take a credit card or CARE CREDIT over the phone (or they will allow you to mail a check in advance)-Notify me you have done this and then I can then set the appointment according to my schedule (and pup reaching 8 weeks of age) and take the pup there -you call and give them payment AND shipping information required by the airline for the Health Certificate.
Their number is 559-732-4818 and you can check out their website by clicking on the clinic name above.
More pics of my Females and their past litters:
Swift:
 Swift (now deceased) is medium in size...verrrry sweet and loving (loves kids and everyone's puppies). She is very laid back
Aniston:
Aniston (spayed now) is my tallest female and goes camping, sticks close, and loves to go (her litters are down to about 6 pups now as she is getting older-she has had as many as 12 in litter, in her younger days). This will be her last litter in late August of 2016.
Aniston ready to pop and chillaxin
Aniston's October 30th, 2012 pups at their new homes: ...and I'm never going out in the snow again! Reserve now ...after viewing HOW IT WORKS
Pfeiffer: a smaller blue female-she weighs about 29 pounds
This is Bingo...an all white pup from Pfeiffer's first litter.
He never got the black hairs (ticking) that make a blue heeler.
The white heeler is a rare color of heeler and Pfeiffer has now thrown a few in her litters but there is NO WAY TO KNOW WHICH PUP WILL BE WHITE (or cream), SINCE ALL PUPS ARE BORN WHITE..they normally get color at about 3-4 weeks of age. Bingo had no color but some get a hint of tan on ears and undercoat. The pup in her second litter got some tan on ears/back-it was very light
If a solid white one is in the litter (usually known by 3-4 wks old), it will probably already belong to someone by the time we realize it is a "white" pup. If they are ok with a white one, the pup is theirs...if they would rather have a blue, they will move to the next blue pup available in the next litter. This is up to the owner of the pup, of course.
If a "white" pup becomes available to sell...I will notify those who have indicated they want a shot at a white one, reserved folks first, and then those who just emailed to indicate interest in a white one, and then notify everyone else on my list to find a home for the pup. It will be first come, first serve at this point.
Note: Pfeiffer has not thrown a white pup since I stopped breeding her to McConaughey but we will breed her to McConaughey's son, Clooney and see what she throws.
Sarandon:This female is very light blue with red and blue speckles. She will throw blue pups and an occasional red one in the litter. Some blues will have typical tan markings, some will not (I call this a black heeler when there is no tan). Most pups have many colors. No way to know at birth which pups will be light like her and which will be a more typical darker blue, or which will end up with tan markings, or look like a chocolate color or ?. They get color at about 3-4 weeks of age and this is when we can tell; so no real way to reserve for a chocolate either. You can specify your interest in one, or specify you do not want tan legs/chest and I can try to work that out but there is no guarantee...you can always back out of a pup you have tentatively chosen, and wait for the next litter; at any time (even at 5 weeks old). A pup of Sarandon's, and one of Foxy's-all grown up... at home.
Note: Most of Sarandon's blue pups end up blue with no tan (which gives the appearance of a black heeler).
At about 10 days old:
I call this pup a "chocolate" heeler...no tan on paws or chest or face...just a black heeler that turned chocolate
Sarandon, had a brother this color! Or once in awhile one appears to be white with some traces of black around ears. They are not quite 5 wks in the pictures below. She always has colorful litters.
EMAIL if you are interested in reserving for a pup from one of the upcoming litters or reserving specifically for a particular dam's litter.
Reserving ahead gets you a pup quicker, but please realize I don't control litter size, color or gender, or if they "take" when they are bred; this is left to nature.

Pups are $395 for a male and $425 for females We raise Blue and Red Queensland Heelers. Pick your litter/female or just specify the next available red or blue male or female pup and if you want the tail docked or left in tact (or left as it is naturally born). Tails are docked at 3 days old unless presold and specified to leave in tact (or leave natural-we have stumpy tails often).
