Leroy, Australian Cattle Dog, came to me from Denver, CO, bred by Lori Pruett.

During his first year living with me, he completed his Canadian Kennel Club (CKC) Conformation Championship, CKC Herding Started title, AKC PT and his CGN. He has now completed his American Kennel Club (AKC) Conformation Championship, most recently being awarded an incredible Award of Merit at the 2008 ACDCA National Specialty in Pensylvania!! Thanks to Lori Pruett, he also has a Group 4 placement under his belt.

Leroy is keen when working stock, and I'm looking forward to having another up and coming Australian Cattle Dog.

He has a kind heart, and is an absolute sweety; he is loveable, cautious with strangers, and completely loyal.
