Dedicated to preserving the heritage of the working cowdog
The Southwest Cattledog Association, a Texas nonprofit organization, goes back to the roots of the shepards who came together near Bala in North Wales in 1873 to prove, on the trial field, who had the "wisest" Border Collies in Britain. The Scottish shepherd was the victor on that day, and it created what has grown to be an international sport, where the Border Collies and other breeds of stock dogs have proven themselves to be international stars, whether on the trial field or working at home in the pasture. Many farmers and ranchers today could not operate without the help of their trusty four-legged companions and help mates.
The Southwest Cattledog Association is governed by a set of directors for the purpose of establishing and creating interest in the breeding, working and training of stock dogs, to provide educational backdrops for the general public of the working dogs history and purpose, to protect dogs and cattle and to further promote and conduct cattle dog trials on a uniform basis throughout Texas and surrounding states.
