OUR STORY

Situated in rural southwest Missouri, Painted Canvas Farm has been home to the Robertson's - Bryce and Kristin, for 30 years.  Their two sons, Caleb and Clayton, enjoyed growing up on the farm before heading off to adult on their own.  Caleb is now married to Allison and they have a son, Wes.  They live close and manage the farm along with us.  Clayton is currently pursuing his college education majoring in political science and history.

 

The farm is a childhood dream turned into a reality. 

​

The name, Painted Canvas Farm, came about as we viewed our spectacular surroundings.  The tall mature oak trees, gently rolling hills, and fresh water springs are a perfect backdrop to our Appaloosa performance horses, Kiko meat goats, Australian Cattle Dogs and Colorado Mountain Dogs.  Of course, the cows, barn cats, chickens, pigs and wildlife just add to the picture.

With all of these animals, combined with the ever changing seasons, it is truly like looking at a Painted Canvas. 

​

We have been Australian Cattle Dog lovers for over 30 years and have been breeding quality registered ACDs for over 20 years.  Our crew is health tested and bred to work.  Our boys have grown up knowing how valuable the ACD is both as a loyal best friend and an indispensable co-worker. 

Our ACDs share our passion for farm living and running a commercial cattle operation and Kiko goat herd.

​

Running these operations require a lot of assistance.  In addition to our heelers, we also employ livestock guardian dogs. Chuck Norris leads the pack.  He is a dual registered CMDR/ARBA Colorado Mountain Dog. 

We have had zero loss to predators with Chuck and his girls at the helm. 

We do occasionally have a litter of CMDs for sale. 

​

We are so blessed to be living this life.
