John & Lee take two buckles home April 14-15 in Missouri! Way to go John & Lee!
Win in Denver!
The DOG4WE Border Collies traveled to Denver, CO January 19th-22nd for the National Western Stock Show. John and Lee took Reserve Grand Champion at the NWSS Open Cattle finals with a smooth and quick run!!! Way to go John and Lee!!!
Roy competed in the Intermediate Sheep trial. While Roy didn’t place, he showed great control on the tough range sheep being used for the arena trial. Not too bad for a 1 year old dog.
The Dog4Ewe Border Collies have been competing at the NWSS for years. In 2010 John and Mick won Open Cattle Grand Champion. And in 2011 John and Lee took 4th place in Open Cattle.

DOG4EWE Border Collies are the product of 25 years of work and 5 generations of selective breeding. They have enough power for tough cattle and are very biddable at the same time. DOG4EWE Border Collies are used successfully as ranch, trial, agility and obedience dogs all over the US and Canada. John is very grateful to all those that have helped him over the years. He couldn’t have been this successful without the support of his family and friends in the stockdog community!
