We dedicate this site to the beloved and founding members of our program. While some of our early dogs may not have directly contributed to our current genetics, their influence on our devotion to the breed was no less an impact.
Through the years we have had several dogs, and each has been appreciated for their loyalty, companionship, work ethic,
and dedication to our family and their job.
A few were standouts, and we are forever grateful that they were, and through cherished memories and contribution still are, a part of who we are.
Bullock's Nobel Dale
CH Silver Hills Dasher / Van's Lacey J. Dalton
A gentleman always, and absolutely as tough as nails. He "raised" countless pups by teaching the ropes, and showing them what being a "Heeler" is all about. Dale died peacefully at 17 years of age.
He was one-in-a-million and is forever in our hearts!
Plainsdrover Piitzer Ranch Taz "Squirrel"
Plainesdrover Storming Norman /
Kombinalong Superfine
Forever grateful to Garnet Blatchford for letting Squirrel come to us. Squirrel was all business and never backed down from a challenge. A true matriarch. She was a wonderful example of the devotion these dogs have to their "person".
Fair Dinkum's Wyldwest Virgil
Rednsted's A Lot More Action / Fair Dinkums Danielle of Longcreek
Virgil was all that the breed is made to be. Smart, curious, and genuine in his desire to please...he was a true gentleman.
Rat and Tiny 1983
Tiny was the hook that planted our hearts with Heelers. Her good daddy "PeeWee" was one of the early greats....and the poster boy for all Heelers were made to be.
The gang's all here......1984
Hadie, Tiny, Muggs, and Gravel
1981

Honky Tonk
Honky is the last of our line of good working Border Collies that came off of the Voss family ranching operation in North Western Kansas
Working alongside our Heelers, these dogs made the job of running 200 head of boer nannies in timber ground not only manageable, but efficient, low stress, and a joy to see.
