Here at Happy Trails ACDs we have the "All-Around" cattle dogs, which means they can do anything and will when asked. Puppies are like a block of clay and it is up to you to shape and mold them into becoming the best they can be!

Our goal is to uphold and enhance the breed standard. We have worked hard to be able to provide the "All-Around" ACD capable of filling the hearts of those who know the breed and realize that until you have loved an ACD, part of your sole remains un-awakened. Our dogs originate from some of the finest ACD bloodlines in the world. Litters are whelped in our home and raised in our puppy corral. All pups are socialized with other dogs, people, and exposed to outside sights and sounds. Pups are exposed to cattle, but held back to prevent injuries at such a young age. Puppies get a lot of lap time and individual attention also. We do not like having multiple litters at the same time and have found it is best to give each litter our undivided attention so each pup is properly imprinted. Early imprinting will stay with the pup for its entire lifetime.
