Sheepdogs

We use "Sheepdog" as a generic term for dogs that are bred to work livestock and sheep in particular.  Click HERE to see our Livestock Guardian Dogs.

Current Team line-up:

Mick: (Border Collie) Mick is the number one dog.  He is my right-hand-man.  I cannot say enough about him to do him justice so I will just say he is strong, smart and my best friend.
Gale:  (Border Collie) I bought Gale as a puppy this winter from Rusty Childs.  She has taken training well and is one powerful sheepdog.  She has a clean nose bite and is forceful enough to move anything either in the yards or in the paddock.
Jake:  (Border Collie)  Jake is Gales son from her very first litter.  His father is Don Helsey's Cap, a fantastic dog.  I look forward to Jake's working career.
Carlos:  (Border Collie/Australian Cattledog)  Katie bought Carlos from a local cattle ranch in the summer of 2007.  He is coming along very well as a pen dog.  He is small but works his butt off.

Past dogs:

Bill:  (Border Collie)  Bill is from a cattle ranch in Sand Point ID.  His father is Sue Wessels' Jax.  I sold Bill to Cameron.  He is working well in the Mountains for Cameron's herder.
Guy: (Kelpie)  Guy is out of Robbie Agard's female, Fern and his male, Taco.  Guy is young but seems to be taking to training very well.  He is now working for the Lanthorp sheep/cattle Ranch in Eastern, OR.
Sioux: I sold Sioux to a semi-retirement home in Eastern CA.  He will have a great life there working a small flock and playing with the kids.  Sioux is greatly missed. He is calm, thinks for himself, and is a great trial dog as well. Sioux has won some trials in the south and here in the Northwest. Sioux is a rough coated, tri-color male with a big heart.
Gwen:  (Kelpie)  I bought Gwen as a puppy from James Farnham of AZ.  I started her and she is now working and trialing for her new owner in Utah.  Gwen is a very talented Kelpie who should do very well for her new partner.
Hoodie:  Hoodie is one of the most dedicated Border Collies I have ever had the pleasure to know.  He is a litter mate to Sioux.  He was given to me a couple years ago by Sue Wessels who trained him from a puppy.  I trialed him for a year and then used him as my primary ranch dog.  We  retired Hoodie recently to a small sheep ranch in Easter Washington state.
Dillon: (Kelpie)  I bought Dillon as a three month old puppy from a local sheep rancher.  He was one of the first dogs I owned and started myself.  I ran him at the USBCHA sheepdog finals in Nursery.  Dillon was equally good on cattle and sheep.  He is now working with a rancher in Nevada who just loves his never-say-die dedication to work.
