Our Aim
Sub-links for this page
Here at Willowpark we have been breeding Aust Cattle Dogs for over 25 years. Quiet achievers, we have been selecting and breeding dogs with remarkable temperaments. Outstanding types that have the substance, soundness and brains to achieve almost any challenge given to them.
Our dogs are renowned for their temperaments and no matter how physically perfect a dog or bitch may be we will not use/ breed with poor temperaments.
From our vision we consistently produce dogs with strong nerves which are relaxed and confident and with higher than average bite thresholds. We do not like to see insecure or aggressive dogs. This is not the temperament we would like to live with, and neither should you. All the good characteristics of an Australian Cattle Dog without the dramas. We breed happy, confident dogs with no nervousness issues.
Our dogs retain a wonderful work ethic and instinct to herd. Many live their lives on properties maintaining the dual roles of worker and pet. We believe that the breed standard describes a protective dog, but not one which goes out looking for a fight. We can't imagine graziers being happy if they brought their cattle to market and having their dog attack and injure other peoples prized working dogs. Defensive yes, but not outwardly aggressive.
Our dogs are bred to type, preferring the larger headed, strong dogs of years gone by. We have bred show ring winners in both Australia and the USA.
Here is a short video's of two Willowpark ACD's, an entire bitch and a young entire male running with other dogs, including other entire males. You can see that the male has alot of presence but he causes no trouble
