Welcome to Leaning Tree Cattle Dogs and
Border Collies!!!
|
| Our
breeding program is not about raising puppies to sell, it is about raising
stock dog pups that will mature into dogs that are better then their
parents. Purchasing one of our pups is a privilege, we put a lot of
time and effort into proving and selecting our breeding pairs only producing
pups when we are proving a line or have a demand for a proven mating.
There are risks involved with purchasing pups from unproven lines, and
crossbreds, these risks are the same ones taken by breeders for centuries
producing the dogs we presently recognize by our breed associations. |

Australian Cattle Dogs (Blue & Red Heelers) |
| All our
cattle dogs are reminiscent of the "Little Power Packs" of the old days,
Tank our largest male weights in around 45 pounds and stands about 20" tall,
Wynona our smallest is a mere 25 pounds standing only 13" tall. All
our dogs would love to be lap dogs, small in stature, but large in attitude. |

Indy
2002-2009
Australian Cattle
Dog
Indy was out of a
working red female, Belle and by a working Blue Male, Peter. Belle
earns her living partnering with Eugene Baldwin of Hillsboro, WI keeping his
rodeo bulls in line, Belle is out of a red female owned by PBR bull rider BJ
Schumacker, WI. Peter, now deceased, was owned by Marty Jones, WI.
Indy spent the first years of his life as our PR dog, traveling all over the
nation, he loved to work and hunt, having many coon, possum' and ground hog
trophies to his credit. Later he turned into our number one dog here on the
farm. He is greatly missed but his legacy lives on in his pups and
grand pups.

eye, cover, athleticness and self control to be a phenomenal worker.

| What
good is a dog that goes in and makes the same mistake over and over, get's
kicked the same way again and again, to us, no good, more then likely they
will be dead at a young age. Our dogs are products of dogs that are
willing to adapt and change, yes, they may back down, but only to reassess
the situation and come at it from a different direction. This style of
dog is capable of training stock, not just annoying it, they ask first, then
tell, as opposed to the hard headed dogs many are familiar with that just
unleash their fury on anything that is four legged, and sometimes two. |

Leaning Tree
Cyd
2005 Blue Male
Leaning Tree
Cattle Dog
Cyd never takes
"No" as an answer, he is serious worker and has no qualms about biting
anything anywhere, heel, hip, ribs, shoulder or even noses, if it gets in
his face he liable to latch on. When teamed with his brothers for dog
breaking duties he is the power, making a defiant bull wish he had not
strayed.

Leaning Tree
Royal Red
2004 Red Female
Leaning Tree
Cattle Dog
Royal Red (Buffy)
is the first female pup we held back from our Lilly/Indy crosses. She
was trialed on cattle in Iowa and Kansas as a year old pup, since, she has
produced one litter of pups, once again out-producing herself. Buffy is
a handy partner when it comes to exercising rodeo futurity bulls, putting
just enough pressure on to keep them moving and heeling low and outside just
off the ground.

Obedience.....to us a working stock dog that is obedient and lacking a
little on his natural ability is still valuable in comparison to a dog with
tons of ability but lacks obedience. A dog that is biddable is one
that can be trained to be obedient, we will cull unbiddable talented dogs
from our breeding program before we cull biddable dogs that lack a little in
the talent department. |
