From Northern CA.

At Willowbrook Kennels, we have been dedicated to breeding Australian Cattle Dogs since 1993. We are actively involved in showing and breeding according to the standards set by the American Kennel Club (AKC) and the Australian Cattle Dog Club of America. Our focus is on conformation, temperament, and health, striving to bring the natural qualities of the breed to perfection as outlined in the current AKC breed standard.

My journey with Australian Cattle Dogs began with Tucker, a blue-mottled male given to me as a gift. He was the most incredible dog I had ever owned—my constant companion and protector. Tucker had an uncanny ability to understand me; I rarely had to give him commands, as he seemed to read my mind. He followed me everywhere without a collar or leash, never leaving our property. That bond changed my life forever. From that moment, Australian Cattle Dogs became my passion. I knew I never wanted to be without one—and not just any, but the best. My dedication led me to extensive research and, ultimately, into breeding.

What started as a personal journey soon became a family affair. My son has always been my breeding and showing partner, and today, his wife and their twin daughters have joined our legacy.

With every breeding, we strive for continuous improvement, always working toward producing the best Australian Cattle Dogs possible.
