Our Stock Dog puppies are a blend of Border collie, McNab and a trace of Catahoula, out of our best working dogs.  There are two different litters available Summer 2011 (update: these puppies went to new homes.) 2012 litters the Feb. 2012 puppies have been placed. New litter for June 2012).  Parents were paired for specific traits that we seek for our working cattle dogs. 

Our Ranch dogs have natural instinct for herding.  Characteristically they go around to the head and hold stock, or to fetch and bring to you; these dogs have an innate ability to counter balance when working with you whether on horseback, foot, quad or with another dog.  They have a bite and will take a hold of stock when necessary!  They are extremely intelligent and sensitive, they easily learn directions through hand and verbal cues.
