Ranger spent the winter at J Cross Catahoulas learning the ropes of being a cow dog and hog dog.
I thank Tori Earls and Justin Starnes at J Cross Catahoulas for allowing Ranger to come join my family.
Ranger is a very vocal and intense tree dog. He has a distinctive loud, sharp, rapid-fire voice. He does well in competition as well as when finding and treeing game in the woods.
Ranger spent the summer of 2010 at Cow Camp and developed his own style while working cattle, as well as built up his confidence for working in general. He was introduced to bay pen competition in November 2010 and showed that his up-close-and-personal style makes him a good bay pen competitor.
He is a leggy dog with excellent conformation. He is built for speed, but still has enough body and strength to be a powerful dog. He can be a little squirrelly when working, but will step up and focus on the job when needed. Ranger loves children and is a clown at home, but is very protective of his people and his home. He is very sweet once properly introduced.
Ranger completed his UKC Champion title with a Best of Breed win on April 18, 2009 at the age of 9 months, 3 days. He went on to get a Group 4 of 8 breeds in the Herding Group.
Ranger earned his UKC United Weight Puller title on December 13, 2009, two days short of 17 months. His best pulls to date in any organization are 2525# (44.298%) on wheels (artificial surface), 1,107# (19.086%) on wheels (natural surface) and 1466# (25.719%) on rails. He has not yet competed on snow.
Ranger earned his UKC Conformation Grand Champion title at the UKC Premier on July 11, 2010, four days short of his second birthday and only three days after winning the Best in Breed Top Ten for the 2009 season.
Ranger earned his UKC Coursing Aptitude title on October 10, 2010.
Ranger earned his UKC Weight Pull Champion title on June 19, 2011.
Ranger earned his NWDA Weight Pull 3 title on October 8, 2011.
Ranger earned his NWDA Weight Pull Champion title on October 9, 2011.
Ranger earned his NALC Tree Dog Champion title on April 1, 2012.
This young dog never ceases to amaze me with his ability and enthusiasm to try whatever I ask him to do. He is a little dog with a big heart. He will take a beating and not back down.
Ranger’s registered name is in tribute to my grandfather who served in the European theater of WWII with the 101st Airborne.
I was diagnosed with epilepsy in December 2010. Ranger started alerting to my seizures. He is still in training to be my full-time service dog. I may never need him to move into a full-time role, or he may not be able to handle certain situations I need him to be in, but at this time I still have confidence that he will step up and be my permanent assistant should the need arise.
Ranger wears a harness made by Brown Dog Designs. I highly recommend this harness.
