OUR NEWEST ADDITIONS
Introducing KayneCreek Pivot
She'll arrive in just a few weeks — a red and white female from a purposefully bred litter carrying the TH Moss and JC Boris cattle lines we've been seeking. Red in working lines is rare. Finding it in a cattle-working pedigree this strong is rarer still.
KayneCreek Pivot
ABCA Registration Pending · Born March 10, 2026 · Red & White Female · Owned by Morgan Michaluk
KayneCreek Pivot is a red and white female born March 10, 2026 — joining the program at 8 weeks old from a litter bred by Cap an King Dog Line / Lynn McAlister in Kentucky. Her sire is TWITCH (ABC 53438), a red and white female out of JC Boris × TH Moss lines from Brad Bunderson's Grantsville, UT program. Her dam is a TH Rue × Neo son (ABC 522404), a red tri male from Allen Miller's Oklahoma cattle operation. Both parents are active cattle workers and producers. Red in legitimate working pedigrees is genuinely uncommon — Pivot brings that color tied directly to proven cattle genetics, which is exactly what we were looking for.

OUR NEWEST ADDITIONS
Introducing KayneCreek Kimber
Maureen Scott Robinson (1949–2020) was a handler, photographer, and breeder who mentored Morgan Michaluk — KayneCreek's co-founder — in agility and sheep work in Zirconia, North Carolina. Maureen's dog Eft (SVF Eft ABC 372036) produced Sam (ABC 423126), the sire of KayneCreek Cricket. Maureen entrusted her final dog, Gila Monster, to Joni Tietjen before losing her battle with ALS. Kimber's sire Turner was bred by Joni from the same father line. Two branches of one woman's legacy now live at KayneCreek.
KayneCreek Kimber
ABCA Registration Pending · Born February 26, 2026 · Black & White Female · Owned by Kymberly Dakins
KayneCreek Kimber is a seal-colored female out of two proven working parents carrying deep Wyoming ranch genetics and Missouri/Texas working lines. Her sire Turner is a half-sibling to Gila Monster — the 2025 Meeker Classic Champion — sharing the same father, Ben, and the same breeder, Joni Tietjen of Clearmont, Wyoming. Joni trained and handled Monster for Maureen Scott Robinson, honoring Maureen's dying wish that her dog compete at Meeker. Monster went on to win the 2025 Meeker Classic under handler Jamie Spring and has qualified for the 2026 ISDS World Trials in Scotland. Kimber carries that same paternal line — Ben's Spot-line genetics imported from Bobby Henderson of Scotland — paired with her dam's proven Missouri and Texas ranch blood. She is KayneCreek's connection to the handler and kennel that carried Maureen Robinson's legacy to the top of American sheepdog competition.
