Willowbrook Kennels

Willowbrook Kennels is a breeder of Australian cattle dogs in Palermo, CA, serving Butte County and the Sacramento Valley near Sacramento. It is run by Erin Crady, who has bred working stock dogs for more than a decade and maintains membership in the American Kennel Club with health screening for hip and eye conditions.

Puppies are raised in a home environment where they grow accustomed to household sounds, children and companion animals. From the start, Erin emphasizes basic training and gentle handling to foster confidence and resilience.

Adult dogs enjoy daily exercise across seven acres of fenced pasture and regular veterinary care focused on preventive screenings. Erin sources pedigrees from working lines to support agility and sound structure suited for both ranch work and family settings. Families often remark on the puppies’ adaptability to active routines and their natural herding drive.
