I'm the breeder behind Southern Oregon Heelers located in White City, OR. Our dogs work hard, play hard, love hard, and are part of the family. Our pups are prepared to excel within their forever homes. We strive to produce well-rounded, balanced Australian Cattle Dogs that make exceptional family companions but also have the ability to thrive in whatever role they are needed.

Why Lizz started breeding
I got into breeding when I got my own female 8 years ago, her name was peaches, I didn't plan on becoming a breeder, I just wanted one litter of puppies from her, and then everyone who got puppies from me told a whole bunch of people about me and how great my dogs were and how well they were taken care of, so I started doing research and doing all the proper testing. Unfortunately peaches is no longer with us and has passed on due to a tragic accident.
