Spader Australian Cattle Dogs
Home of the K9 Cowboys!TM
Working Australian Cattle Dogs (Blue & Red Heelers) with excellent dispositions, conformation & ability from top herding AKC bloodlines.
"Ace" was an own son of Herding & Conformation Champion WTCH Rewuri Blue Bogong CD VQW (3 time National Herding Champion), and his dam was Kuawarri Blu Prununge HS by Herding Champion George. "Ace" has had a dramatic impact on our program, he and his get exemplify everything that we try to produce in our working dogs. His sons and daughters have been consistently great in terms of working ability, disposition & type. Ace was a very powerful dog while working cattle, biting a nose and low heel while also showing a considerable amount of upright "eye". He was also one of our most trainable dogs, and a loyal companion. We owe Kuawarri Kennels a great debt of gratitude for sending Ace to us as a pup, and we'll continue to use his frozen semen to continue his influence.
We selected "Ace" with Larry Painter's direction as a 7 week old pup after having been very pleased with a daughter of Herding Champion George that Larry sold us. Ace's dam was our favorite daughter of George, she too was a force on cattle. To our knowledge, there are no other sons of Rewuri Blue Bogong still alive, so a pup from Ace's frozen semen represents the closest opportunity to these breed leading genetics. Of the 28 AKC Herding Champions in the history of this breed, more than half originate from these bloodlines!
