Jesse and I were both raised around livestock and have always been involved with some kind of competition. I showed Quarter Horses for over 20 years then got interested in Team Roping. Jesse started competing in rodeos at age 7 and continued through College on a scholarship and still competes professionally as a PRCA member in the Saddle Bronc Event. We just started showing our dogs a few years ago. Prior to that our dogs were our pals and ranch helpers. All showing and training has been owner handled. What started out as "just for fun to see how we do" has really changed us and how we see the Australian Cattle Dog. This is truly a versatile and intelligent breed and our goal is to exemplify that. We feel that the Australian Cattle Dog should not only look good, but be strong and versatile in all that he/she does and have the conformation to hold up to that. We have spent many hours socializing our dogs and taking them with us as much as possible. We keep them active and always try to have some kind of 'job' or training going on. Our dogs seem to thrive on that. We are members of the Australian Cattle Dog Club of America, the Santa Maria Kennel Club, and the Goleta Valley Dog Club. We also take time to just play with our dogs, go on trail rides or go on outings to the river or the beach to swim. Of course, there's always lots of pets and hugs. We are new to breeding and are planning on our first litter this Spring. Check back on the status of the future Bar H Cattle Dog puppies out of "Dallas" and "Bindi Boo".
