DOG DAY AFTERNOON
For generations, these hard working dogs have been an essential feature on ranches and livestock operations across the world. Although differing in breed and purpose, these working dogs are absolutely necessary to the working ranchers that use them simultaneously as very skilled labor and a beloved companion.
For Laura Stimatze and Sonya Blomberg, cow dogs have always been close to their hearts. Both women are lifelong cow dog owners, breeders, and trainers and have specified their breeding to produce world class, unique Border Collies. These dogs are quick witted, physically talented and trained to a “t.”
Although still typically black, white, and athletic, their specific breeding of cow dogs is something of a marvel. Both women and their families have chosen to start with a base line of Border Collies known as the McCallum dogs. Named for their forefather, Tony McCallum, these specific cow dogs deviate greatly from their British counterparts. The McCallum line was specified in Australia to work cattle and emigrated to the United States in the 1980s. The traditional Border Collies can trace their lineage to British dogs specified to work sheep on the English countryside.
