'Puppy Tails'

An Australian Stumpy Tail Cattle Dog is not the breed for everyone.  Whilst they are intelligent, loyal and energetic they can also be destructive, stubborn and wilful.

Puppies are cute and cuddly but please remember that they can grow up to be a 15 year commitment.

Stumpies require physical, mental and emotional stimulation daily – but they would prefer it by the minute!

Stumpies also require a firm but consistent manner and basic obedience training – even if they don’t agree!

Breeding stock at Tangara kennels will be checked for Pra/Prcd, Hip and elbow dysplasia and where possible will be baer tested for hearing.

If you wish to take on a Tangara Puppy you will be inundated with a barrage of questions to determine your suitability, of being owned by a stumpy.  You will also be asked to Sign a Contract of ownership.

If you think that you are ready for a daily battle of wills, lots of funny antics, huge holes in the lawn and no hoses or for that matter anything plastic, and a look that tells you that you are the only person in the world that matters – then please feel free to email us.
