Title: Cow dogs
Post by: Caddo co. hog dog on January 06, 2012, 06:56:12 pm
I have been looking for a border collie pup out of working stock.  I have a spayed female but she is too skiddish and doesn't look full blood. If anyone on here knows of a pup or two out of working stock I'd sure appreciate any contact info and help I can get. Looking for a female or two. Also does anyone have any pictures or dogs working cattle?

I appreciate it halfbreed. I'll look him up and see what I can get going and yes I'm looking for cattle dogs. I am trying to get three dogs going but for the sake of me and the dog I wanna start off with just one or two. I have two cows that I can't catch for nothing and their calves are just like them. I want the dogs for my own heard and quite a few neighbors could use some cattle dog help at times. I appreciate the help

caddo , gary erricson is in coalgate , jody mikles is in elk city , both are topnotch . jodys site is mikles cowdogs.net i think .

if you can't find them let me know , i got their numbers some where .

 if you get a pup somewhere else make sure he's cow bred , most of'em aint stout enough for momma cows .
