We are dedicated Breeders of blue and red Australian Cattle Dogs, bred for type and temperament. We are a small kennel breeding Australian Cattle Dogs for performance in the fields of work, show or your next best mate. Our dogs have broad heads, powerful hindquarters and shoulders with good type and brilliant temperaments. This has been a family passion that we are dedicated to breeding a great well socialised and happy puppy for anything you desire of your new companion.

We are members of the Master Dog Breeders Academy, an achievement we are very proud of. To be accepted as a member of the MDBA, breeders must be able to demonstrate, amongst other things, a comittment to the constant improvement of the breed and we were delighted our efforts over many years have been recognised through membership of the MDBA. 

We love people to come visit and see our dogs and their wonderful natures.  Our dogs are first and foremost our family members.  We love all our dogs and cherrish the time we spend with them. They all have uniquie and differant personalities and all get quality time each day whether it be laying around or chasing the ball in the dam.  We don't go away much and spend all our time with our dogs and pups.  I am a stay at home doggy mum and spend all my day out with the dogs and doing things on the farm.  The same is for Graham and the kids when they are home on weekends.   

Hearing testing is of major importance to the Australian Cattle Dog breed. Hearing problems are not only genetic and an unknown accident can cause partial or total deafness in a pup.  You can never be sure if the pup has full hearing without a proper hearing test and it is a problem many people are not aware of or understand.  We have been working with the Queensland University and all our pups are hearing tested by the Queensland University at approximately 6 weeks of age and a copy of the hearing test results are provided to the new owners.  Our lines have proven to be clean but you never know and all our pups are tested regardless of their breeding.  The Queensland University has been conducting research into deafness in a number of breeds including Australian Cattle Dogs and we are proud to have been able to assist in a small way.  It is a 4  hour round trip for us to do it but it is worth it at the end of the day when we let our pups go as we can be confident in the quality of our pups.

We also offer 6 weeks free puppy insurance on all our pups for your own peace of mind and within the first 7 days we recommend that you take your new family member to meet your local vet for a check up for added piece of mind.

You want the best for the money you outlay whether it be a show dog or a new family member.  Our dogs are solid old traditional style which  are very sort after and are raised with love and owned with pride.

Here at Clearidge Stud we are dedicated to producing and promoting the true Australian Cattle Dog.  We offer top quality, healthy and well socialised pups. Your Clearidge Puppy will have the confirmation and structure to do the job, the brains and intellegance to understand what you want, the loyalty and desire to follow your directions, the devoted temperament to handle training and the love and drive to keep going no matter what.   We pride ourselves on how we raise and imprint our pups.  We take great pleasure and pride in raising quality puppies that are healthy, happy and sure to be the most loving and devoted companion and best friend you will ever have.  Temperament is as important as confirmation.   Our pups are sold all over Australia and the world .  We have been exporting top quality pups for many years .
