I'm the breeder behind Rimrock Catahoulas located in Grenville, NM. We want to provide top-quality working dogs In order to start our puppies off on the right paw, we begin training and socializing at a young age so they are set up for success in their new homes. We prioritize the health and well-being of each one of our puppies and follow all appropriate puppy health protocols. Our dogs are used daily on a working ranch. We run cows and yearlings. These are not going to be a dog for Apartments or just a back yard. They will need a daily job. I'm always open to discus what you are looking for in a new puppy.

What makes Amy’s program special
I breed to keep the bloodlines pure. I'm not a puppy mill. If I make a planned breeding its to better the bred. My lines come from well establish working and champion dogs. I keep it small so I can dedicate lots of time to a litter to make sure the new owners have a good start with their new puppy.

Why Amy started breeding
I got a female from a friend about 7yrs ago. He encouraged me to be more evolved with Catahoulas. I've been really lucky to find other breeders to mentor me and help. Since then I've been able to improve my lines and breeding program.
