Turnabout’s Available Dogs
Working as a serious preservation breeder for Australian Cattle Dogs, Turnabout emphasizes producing the best possible litter with each and every breeding. This means that we will typically want to keep a puppy to go forward in our breeding program here at the ranch. That being said, we will usually have several nice pups available for pet and performance homes with each litter.
The reservation process is fairly simple. First, you will request an application from us by email (turnaboutaustraliancattledogs@gmail.com) Next, we will set up a phone interview. This conversation is very important. We will discover your wants and desires when it comes to a puppy. If it is criteria we believe we can meet with the upcoming litters, we will add you to the waiting list. At that time, a nonrefundable holding fee of $500 will be due. We will work to get you a pup with the desired traits as soon as possible. Preservation breeders are not puppy vending machines. It may take some time to get the desired temperament. It will be worth the wait, however. Finding a puppy that will fit into your family’s lifestyle will set you and the pup up for success.
Turnabout also uses the application process for adults and retired show dogs. Please request an application to get started.
Pending and Upcoming Litters
Turnabout hopes to have a fall 2024 litter of reds and blues. Still taking applications.

Some of our 2023 Pups
retired australian cattle dogs for sale
We believe strongly in doing what is best for the dogs and we place many of our adults and retired dogs with loving families when their careers here are finished. These dogs have happily fulfilled their roles in the ring and at the ranch and we are thrilled to have them start another chapter of their lives. Some of our dogs go on to continue their show careers in Junior Showmanship but most become hiking or running buddies or even couch potatoes.
Be certain to check back often to see if your next companion shows up on our page.
Available Australian Cattle Dog Adults
RDiamondBar Pure Imagination @ Turnabout “Fiona”
$300
Fiona is a young red girl who would make a great companion. True to the breed, she would like a person to call her own. She has good energy and would love to run the trail and then cuddle in your lap. She has all health clearances, which are as follows: PLL and PRA clear by parentage, RCD4 clear or carrier, hearing normal.
She walks very well on leash and is crate trained. She most enjoys her time at home but has traveled a bit with the show team and has been exposed to other dogs and situations. She will be 3 in August. She would do best in a home by herself at first. It takes her a bit to warm up to new dogs but can be a great companion if given the chance to warm up and come out of her shell.
Fiona has both her major wins towards her AKC Championship thanks to Andrea Wojo! 2 4 point majors, one at the Greeley Kennel Club show in August. The other at Cheyenne Kennel Club in September. She also earned 3 more single points at the Southern Colorado Kennel Club show in Pueblo, Colorado in November putting her well within reach of her AKC Championship.
Watts
Turnabout Some Kind of Wonderful
$2000
Watts was born here on the ranch and has done us proud. She obtained her Champion and Grand Champion conformation titles and has been a great mum for 2 litters for us. She is looking for her retirement home, a soft couch and a happy family. She is the quintessential cattle dog girl. She is very sweet and loving to her humans. She can be a bit bossy with her pack and has what we call in cattle dogs, a “rule book.” She would be best as an only dog or paired with a male.
She will be available in late October/November 2024 after her August litter
Dancer is a lovely older gal. Very sweet and very people oriented. She is a softer, forgiving female who loves to play. Great with people and other dogs, she would be a great fit in many situations. She will be looking for her forever home in October/November 2024.
From time to time, we may feature other dogs from partner kennels.
Testimonial
Before I approached Amy about a puppy, I asked several of my cattle dog and agility friends about breeders. They all told me that Amy breeds nice, athletic dogs and is an honest and kind person to work with. You want to work WITH your breeder when you are buying a dog – they know the puppies and can pick the puppy that fits what you are looking for. They are also a key person who will support you in raising your puppy – whether they are for competition, work, or you are looking for a companion/partner in crime.
-Loni, a turnabout puppy owner
I picked up Ferris (Turnabout Fahrenheit) in October 2022. He’s exactly what I wanted – smart as a whip, athletic, super handsome, and built for my sport, agility. He’s still young, but his training is coming along beautifully due to his work ethic and intelligence. As well as agility, we’ve also started a bit of herding with him as I like to see a working dog get to express their true nature.
He’s wonderful to live with, getting along with our other two females well, and he has a great off-switch. He’s also a real clown and makes us laugh regularly.
Amy has been there to answer questions and even took Ferris for a visit when I had to have surgery. She’s been very supportive as he has grown from puppy to adolescent, and is generous with her time and knowledge.
