On this page you'll find pictures of some of my past dogs. Wish I had some of Tam,Jeff,Jasper and more of Whiskey

Whiskey was an imported dog I bought from Tim longton of England. Her actual name was Meg but a wrestling match she had with a whiskey bottle when I first got her was the reason for the name change. She was a double bred Bosworth Coon. I'd like to have that breeding again. I ran Whiskey in trials in the early 80s'

Heidi was an Old Welsh Grey Sheepdog I bought from C.J. Greer of Missouri. Greys work like Border Collies with out the eye and they tend to have a high tail carriage. Heidi was a very good work and trial dog,very natural. She had a very good method and way with livestock. She gave me more than 100% everytime I sent her. I ran her in trials in the mid to late '80s and won alot of sheep and cattle trials with her.

Panda was one of my best. Power balance and method to spare. Tremendous instincts. I won alot of trials, both sheep and cattle with her in the '90s. She ran in the national finals on several occasions. I'd love another just like her.

Floss was a dog that taught me alot about how to handle livestock. She was a weak dog that I normally wouldn't have kept,but she taught me where and when to put pressure on livestock and be able to move them with the least amount of effort. I ran Floss in trials the same time i did Panda,they made a very good brace pair.

Nell was the strongest dog I've ever seen. A daughter of Panda,as a work dog she had it all,power,balance and method. As a trial dog she was nervous wreck. At a trial she would make a mistake and know it and try hard to make up for it and make more mistakes. The harder she tried the more mistakes she made until the run fell apart.

Bett  A daughter of Buster and Panda Bett was a very good all-around dog. She fit into the mould of Panda as far as her work and temperment but had the fearlessness of her father. She was a nice trial dog that you had to handle when running her at a trial as she had the same nerve problem as Nell just not as bad. But she did win several sheep and cattle trials in her life. I ran her in trials in the late '90s to 2007.

Buster the best dog to ever walk in front of a tail. He could and did do it all. Balance,method and an extremely powerful dog. Buster was absolutely affraid of nothing. Most natural dog I've ever trained,in fact it was his natural ability that changed my method of training. Thanks to him no longer did I train dogs to work but allowed them to work and guide them in that work. He was a tremendous trial dog and had it not been for a sheep dieing on him as they turned the post at the '96 finals in Kentucky,he would have won the nursery finals. I ran Buster in sheep and cattle trials form '95 to 2006 and won more trials than with any other dog.

Slick was an older dog I bought from C.J. Greer. I saw him standing by his dog house and something told me I needed him.  A double bred grandson of C.J.s' great Rosie. I ran Slick in a few trials in the early '90s but his claim to fame was as a breeding dog,he was the sire of several good dogs. A son of his, Craig ran very well for me at trials in the early '90s.  Slick and Nell were sire and dam of Angie Sells Sweep
