Welcome at "Pleistozaen" Australian Cattle Dogs!

Puppies born in my kennel are very likely to be good working dogs, suitable for any kind of dogsport but neither suitable for a life as a couch potatoe nor as a kenneldog.

If you are interested in a puppy or if you want to know more about Australian Cattle Dogs or my breeding program, please contact me via e-mail or mobile phone: +43/664/73616465

Philosophy

My aim is to breed sound and healthy Australian Cattle Dogs with all anatomical and behavioural traits of a working dog. My ideal Australian Cattle Dog should resemble a "small, thickset Dingo", should be highly intelligent, very trainable, physically endurant and persistent in doing her job.

To improve their health dam and puppies are fed on a fresh diet (BARF) and not on commercial dog food. Puppies will go to their new homes very well socialised, dewormed, adequatly vaccinated, microchipped and BEAR-tested. They will get ÖKV/FCI papers and an European Pet Passport.

I judge population genetics very important in keeping a breed healthy as a population and therefore aim for offspring with a broad genetical background. I try to reduce gene loss in my breeding program and therefore I do no inbreeding or line breeding.

Female

My bitch Corra (Corra Blue from Walkers of the Wind) was born in 2004 as daughter of Australian Import "Kombinalong Super Tasman" and Germany bred "Jumpin Joker's Chelsea." Corra is doing very well in dogsport. She has earned her obedience degrees (companion dog level 1-3) and is doing mantrailing - Corra already successfully passed the exam to the Mantrailer Beginner Level (MB). She is doing canicross and bikejöring regularly and is herding started. She is a passionate companion dog at horseback-riding as well.

Corra is tested free for hereditary diseases (Canine Hip Dysplasia (HD B), Elbow Dysplasia (ED 0/0), Progressive Retinal Atrophy, Sensorineural Deafness). She has obtained her breeding licences in the ÖKV (Austrian Kynological Association).

Corra bears the title "Austrian Champion". She has great conformation and a lot of pigment. Corra is poetry in motion, moving fast and effortlessly and is showing perfect angulation.
She is a treasured family member and very trustworthy around children. Corra is as well doing fine with other dogs. She ignores strange people outdoors but is protective in her own house and garden.

Litters

Puppies born May 2012

One red boy, two blue girls and two red girls were born on May 6th.
This is Corras fourth and last litter, the father of the puppies is the red male "The Dream of Wanambi Always on my Mind" aka "Tommy."
Tommy is free of hip dysplasia and elbow dysplasia. He has full and correct dentition and is prcdPRA pattern A (free). Tommy has done mental test in Germany and is trained in mantrailing.
The inbreeding coefficient of the mating Tommy x Corra is 0,0 %, the ancestor loss coefficient is 96,7 %, both calculated over 5 generations.
So the litter will have a broad genetical background and will not promote further gene loss in the breed. Due to their heterozygous genome the puppies will have a low probability for hereditary diseases.

C-Litter born 31.5.2011

Corras third litter was sired by the red male "Silverbarn's Paavo" aka "Pocco."
Pocco is free of hip dysplasia and elbow dysplasia and he is prcd PRA pattern A (free). He is missing some teeth due to an accident in puppy age, the lower P2 are probably missing due to genetic reasons.
The inbreeding coefficient of the mating Pocco x Corra is 0 %, the ancestor loss coefficient is 96,7 %, both calculated over 5 generations.

There are 4 girls and 3 boys, all but one red boy are blue. One male has unilateral hearing, all the others have normal bilateral hearing. One male has a tail anomaly. One male is missing both lower P4, one female is missing one lower P2, all the others have complete dentition.

B-Litter born 8.2.2010

Corras second litter was sired by the red male "Jumpin Joker's Emilio".
Emilio is tested free of hip dysplasia and elbow dysplasia. He has full and correct dentition and is obligate prcdPRA pattern A (free). Emilio is a great worker having earned his ÖPO 1 degree (obedience + protection + tracking).
The inbreeding coefficient of the mating Emilio x Corra is only 0,2 %, the ancestor loss coefficient is 96,7 %, both calculated over 5 generations.

There are 4 girls and 3 boys, all of them tested bilateral hearing. All of them have complete and correct dentition. One female has a minor tail anomaly.

A-Litter born 22.3.2009

Corras first litter was sired by the red male Oakhill Valley Chaos. Chaos is famous for his working abilitys, he his the stud with the most working degrees in Europe. He is tested free of hip and elbow dysplasia and he is prcdPRA pattern A (free).
The A- litter has a broad genetical background. The coefficent of inbreeding is 0 %, the ancestor loss coefficient is 93,3 %, both calculated over 5 generations.

There are 3 girls and 3 boys, all of them tested bilateral hearing. Five have full and correct dentition, one female has a correct scissors bite but is missing one lower P2.

From this litter I kept a very promising red girl, Pleistozaen Aquila rapax, who is doing quite well in mantrailing and has earned her first obedience degree with 15 months of age. Aquila got x-ray and is free of hip and elbow dysplasia (HD A, ED 0/0). Aquila has obtained her breeding permission in ÖKV/FCI in december 2011.
