We bought Cleo from Tom Thurman in Kansas in 1994. Her sire was bred by Arthur Allen and her dam, Dottie (N-50112, ABC 57924) was the offspring of two dogs bred by Arthur Allen. Dottie later went on to Texas and started several lines of cattle dogs. Cleo worked hard as a ranch dog working primarily cattle but sometimes sheep. She was L.D.’s right hand and best friend. She was brilliant and almost human. She had three litters in her life and we kept pups from two of them. We will always miss her.

Darcy was a granddaughter of Speedy Man, with Peppy, Red Man, King and Hank Wiescamp breeding. She was Paula’s favorite ranch horse, especially for sorting cattle. She also had some really nice foals.

We bought Speck in Albuquerque in 1989. She worked for us on ranches, at a sale barn and at a feedlot. She was a game little dog.

We bought Mollie in Albuquerque in 1980. An unregistered Australian Shepherd, she had great working ability, especially tracking and gathering cattle.

Hannah was registered with the National Stock Dog Registry. She worked cattle on the ranch and in other cattle operations. We didn't know what we had.
