Our Dogs
"For work and play with a touch of class"
Sires
Carrdoon Boss
Bred in the purple by Carrdoon Coop, out of a Carrdoon Zac bitch Walkalone Bell.
I sent Boss to my brother Shaun as a pup. Shaun saw potential in him from an early age and returned him to me as a potential sire.
Boss ticked a lot of the boxes including size, temperament and natural ability.
Boss is my go to dog and keeps lifting the bar higher.
​
Boss has sired 22 sale dogs at Ray White Sales sold in 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025 for an average of $9386 and a gross of $206,500.
Some highlights being Cobra Glebe Sid for $33,000, Sie Hugo for $26,000, and Carrdoon BEar for $20, 000.
Carrdoon Zac
A dog that has impacted our foundation line for generations to come. Work or play he has done it all. An open cattle dog and even better in the paddock. Work ethic 100% and a gentleman in the camp.
Zac set the bar high for us from the start. His natural work ability made mustering easy. He has a great temperament and is a pleasure to be around.
We have retained semen from Zac for later use.
Carrdoon Coop
Coop, people either loved him or hated him. The most loyal dog I have ever owned. The go to dog for any job and a freak in the paddock, no job too big or small, too hard or easy.
Coop was the man. Coop was an open cattle dog, out of Carrdoon Tess. He will be known as a legend in our household for years to come.
Semen retained for later use.
Outside Sires
Carrdoon Jake
Carrdoon Jake was a dog I sold locally to keep handy for later use for breeding. Jake by Zac out of Tiger. Tiger had the natural ability to find cattle anywhere, she would travel a long way and out of site. The Zac Tiger cross is up there with the most consistent crosses we have seen with both Zac and Tiger, good traits passing on.
With Jake as an out cross, we are trying to produce good every day paddock dogs ready to do the miles.
Females
Carrdoon Tess (Deceased)
The matron of the Carrdoon line. She’s a blessing! Tess has shown us how smart dogs can be. Her natural ability in the paddock has past on to many of her progeny. The best mother to rear a litter of pups, she is very good with kids. The kindest dog we have owned. Reliable, kind and loving, her legacy will carry on through her progeny.
Progeny - Carrdoon Coop, Carrdoon Gus, Carrdoon Zippo, Carrdoon Rip, Carrdoon Molley, Carrdoon Nickey, Carrdoon Ellie, Carrdoon Bella, Carrdoon Shelly, Carrdoon Snow
Carrdoon Shelly
The next branch in the family tree. A very up front female with power, punch, and ability. We feel Shelly will be staying around for a long time. Already she has runs on the board and breeding consistently for us.
Shelly is the last of the Tess line. When it comes to her mothering ability and temperament the apple didn’t fall far from the tree.
Walkalone Bell (Deceased)
Bell comes from a great line of work dogs. The Walkalone line had traits that we were after for an out cross. When the operenity came to breed Walkalone Flick to Carrdoon Zac, we jumped at it. Bell had the biggest work motor we had seen in a dog with a never say die attitude. A clean bite and walk up being her best traits. No longer with us.
The Bell line carries through Carrdoon Boss and Carrdoon Lady. She was a true work dog.
Carrdoon Pearl
Cardoon Pearl is a sister to Cardoon Prue and shares many of her outstanding qualities. Out of Cardoon Nettie, a dam renowned for producing consistently excellent offspring, Pearl displays exceptional feel, work drive, and eye, making her a joy to watch in action.
Another female from the J 'Crazy J' Sam line in our kennel, we are excited to see the contribution she will make to our team and future breeding program.
Carrdoon Prue
Cardoon Prue is the first progeny of our USA lines brought into Australia as an outcross by J 'Crazy J' Sam, and she has not disappointed.
She is a young female you genuinely look forward to working with every day. Out of our ever-consistent Cardoon Nattie and sister to Cardoon Charm, who sold to Vanuatu for $22,000, she carries the distinguished lines of Cardoon Shelly and Cardoon Tess.
We are excited to see the qualities she brings to our team and the contribution she will make to our future breeding program.
Carrdoon Merry
Cardoon Merry is a remarkable working dog, carrying the strength and traits of her sire, Boss-truly, the apple didn't fall far from the tree. She demonstrates excellent staying and finding ability, with a natural hold and balance, and works with no heels and no nose bite. Her pedigree runs Carrdoon through five generations, with an outcross to notable dogs like Woodford Jack.
Merry is not only a capable worker but also a wonderful mother, having already produced a litter with great mothering instincts. She's a female we have a lot of time for, and one whose qualities will continue to shine in both work and breeding.
