Thank you for visiting Hardtack Australian Cattle Dogs. We are excited to share our canine passion with you!

  We have been involved in the “dog fancy” for over 25 years. Our primary focus was Labradors. We enjoyed and competed in hunt tests,  competitive obedience and the breed ring. We still have a remnant from those days. “Angus” our resident senior citizen. He is the epitome of what a Lab should truly be.

   Long ago we fostered a rescue Cattle Dog. We were so taken with that charming and mischievous young boy, that we said if we ever changed breeds, ACD’s would be it. So after a pause doing human kid activities, we are now fully immersed in the cattle dog life!

   Enjoy!
