Clearidge Australian Cattle Dogs

About Us



We were first introduced to the breeding of Australian Cattle Dogs 40 years ago through my father Les Rowlinson who's prefix's were Tuscony Gold and Western Dreams Australian Cattle Dogs. Our dogs were the old type cattle dogs with big build, broad heads and great confirmation. Our pups were sold all over Australia.

We also have a farm and breed Arabian horses and cattle. We owe all our knowledge to my father and he still assists us in our breeding program. We strongly research our lines and aim to keep breeding healthy correct dogs and we have recieved great feedback from all our clients so this helps  us to continue the way we are. We believe the Australian Cattle Dog raised properly is the best family dog there is.  They are loyal and devoted as seen in our pictures with the children.  Temperament is as important to us as is confirmation.

We are a family business and our dogs and pups are raised and handled by ourselves and our children.  We have moved to our family property which is 202 acres of Doggy heaven.  We are setting up great facilities and excerise areas for our dogs and we will update with pictures as this happens.  There are a group of us who breed and show our dogs together and have a lot of fun whilst doing this and we have made many new wonderful friends through the sale of our puppies.   

I have searched for many years to bring the lines in I have selected and this is why our breeding program is so successful.  We never use savage or aggressive dogs as this is a trait you can never breed out.  True correct dogs are very hard to find and we have only been to a couple of major breeders because of this and are delighted with the mixing of these lines.  There are many differant types and styles of catle dogs and we acknowledge this but we aim to breed the traditional old solid style dog of the past.  We have been mixing select Queensland lines with Pureheel Lines from Victoria and this mix shows what we are aiming for.  A solid dog with great angulation and temperament.  Many think they have it but they don't. We do not stand our dogs at stud for the fact that we are very particular about how our dogs are used.  A lot of dogs don't click and there is too much rubbish being bred.

The care and well being of all our dogs is our main priority and this is reflected in the quality of our pups and the testing we do.  Feedback from clients is " what a great well socialised, happy and healthy pup they have"   Because of this our pups slot into their new family enviroment much easier.  This transition is smooter and makes training then much easier.

Advance orders are taken to avoid any disappointment as we have litters booked in advance due to our commitment to our breeding standards.  A Non-refundable deposit is taken to secure you a pup.  You are placed on a list in order that deposits are made.  If there is nothing in the litter that you have requested as in sex or colour than this can be transfered to another litter.

Pups are guaranteed as a healthy pet only and will be as good as ones ability to teach, train and socialise there new member.  The puppy is sold free fron any apparent congenital defects and we have a seven day money back guarantee on our pups.  The buyer has seven days to take there new pup to a vet and get ia health examination.   If the pups shows to have a congenital problem than we will take the pup back at the buyers expense and replace it with another puppy.

Our dogs have proven themselves in all areas from working, showing or just being that extra inside family friend.  If we cannot assist you then we will only recommend breeders who we know can and do specialise in improving the breed.
