TEXICO RANCH, BLUEY'S OUTBACK, and AUCADO RESCUE Of ILLINOIS
San N Doc (Deceased)
We specialize in breeding quality cutting bred quarter horses that are capable of competing on all levels of performance as
well as having top bloodlines that are close up! In our breeding program, the dam's pedigree, conformation, and ability is just
as important as the sires. We stand two stallions to the public -
HickoryNLena and
Doc O Chet.
We raise Charolais Cattle that are both functional and profitable.
We have registered and unregistered Charolais.
"The Charolais influence in a crossbreeding program adds
exceptional boost to heterosis, economic value and cow
herd
predictability". (High Plains Journal/Midwest Ag Journal 1/23/06.)

We raise AKC Australian Cattledogs. Our dogs are our kids. We spend most of our time with them. They sleep with us
and it is not unusual to have several in the house at one time. We have several show
champions and several that love to watch television with us as "couch potatoes".
A wore out cattle dog has to sleep next to you and always be touching you in some way. Several of our dogs work cattle with
ease. One female (Madison) loves to herd chickens, she is very athletic and quite good. Most of our ACD's love to play frisbee
and/or ball. All of our dogs will jump in a cattle/horse trough full of water to cool off.
ACD's want to be with their owners twenty four/seven. Sometimes, they get into mischief because of boredom or anxiety issues.
Like children they must be shown right from wrong. If you don't spend quality time with your dogs, correct, teach/train, and love
them, then this breed is not for you. "Time out" in the corner doesn't work for this breed. They are highly intelligent,
sometimes a little bull headed but very loveable. ACD's are like potato chips you just can't have ONE !

Bluey's Outback is a licensed kennel. What does a licensed kennel mean? In the State of Illinois, if you rescue or board dogs, or if
you have five or more breeding age female dogs at any given time you must be licensed. Which means you are inspected by the State at
least two times a year by unannounced visits. The same inspection given to vet clinics and/or animal shelters. The State has a copy of
your health guarantee. A kennel license is a great thing and if you take care of your animals you have nothing to hide. A kennel license
does not mean that dogs are locked up in kennels all day long or you're a puppy mill. Even though, our dogs are raised on a working
cattle ranch they are not allowed to run unsupervised. They are loved too much to ever let them get hit by a car.
Being a lover of the ACD breed you can't look the other way and not help the dogs in need. The ones on death row in the local kill shelters.
There are so many nice ACD's that were turned in because people can't afford to feed them, some owners don't want to take the time for them,
and some are just lost. There is absolutely nothing wrong with these dogs. They were supposed to be a commitment for life.
AUCADO Rescue of Illinois is a chapter of AUCADO Rescue of MI. I always have two to four dogs up for adoption. All are fully vetted. It is easy to
adopt just fill out an application, wait to be approved. Help us save some of these beautiful loving dogs. We get several e-mails a week about
dogs needing pulled out of kill shelters to safety. We can't take them all.
If you are interested in a rescue ACD or just want to help in some way save some of these nice cattle dogs,
AuCaDo of Illinois
and AuCaDo of MI has a wonderful group of ACD's needing fosters, sponsors, and
loving permanent homes.
