What is the Hangin' Tree Cowdog? They were a composite breed created by Gary Ericsson 25 years ago. They are made up of mostly border collie, some kelpie, some catahoula, and a tiny bit of australian shepherd through the famous Aussie HT Black Bear. The dog's currently have their own association and registry, only dogs out of registered parents may be registered, and they must prove some working ability by biting both heads and heels of cattle. You can find out more about the registry by visiting The Hangin' Tree Cowdog Association.

I keep a few Hangin' Tree Cowdog females as my using dogs and raise a litter once or twice a year. I am a small breeder and focus on quality not quantity. I keep a couple pups from each litter to raise up and start before selling or to replace one of my other dogs. I generally keep a border collie or two to train and sell as a started dog.
