Would you like to get your dog started in the art of herding livestock? Livestock herding has a long and colorful history. Herding dogs have been used to help mankind for centuries. Dogs have been used to work hand in hand with men and women on ranches and farms. It’s said that a good stockdog can do the work of 3 men.

Here’s your chance to join others with similar interests in learning how to teach your dog to herd. We are a herding club dedicated to Teaching, Training and Sharing our knowledge and interest in using stock dogs with others in the Klamath Basin area. This area would include, but not limited to, Klamath Falls, Chiloquin, Sprague River, Bonanza, Bly, Beatty, Keno, Merrill, Malin, Tulelake and Dorris.

Anyone is welcome to join.
We welcome beginners young and old.
Children are welcome to work their dogs as long as they have control of them.
All herding breeds are welcome.

Basin Border Collies has offered the use of their training pens and stock for beginners. They are located on Henley Road in Klamath Falls. The set up is perfect for training of dogs and their owners. We sponsor working playdays at various ranches in the area to practice in other venues and with different stock.

Purpose of the club is to teach and help with training opportunities for herding dogs. Our dogs range from beginners and can advance to intermediate and advanced herding. At least two Brian Abingdon clinics a year are planned with playdays throughout the year.
