ABOUT RBR
Redbrooke Ranch began with a dream, and continued with a lot of hard work. I have always wanted to work with border collies, and specifically run working dogs. It wasn't long after moving down to TN that I got sheep, and started the dream with a hard working little red dog named Jaida. Over the years the dogs have changed, but they have worked hard for me. The dogs are family members first and live in the house, and most enjoy more than just herding (disc, scent work, etc).
ABOUT REDBROOKE RANCH
My dogs deserve the spotlight at RBR, and I'm lucky to have a team of talented dogs to work with. I am an open USBCHA handler, although my full-time job is that of a small animal emergency veterinarian. I am a lover of photography and training both, and enjoy training and trialing the dogs across multiple venues - USBCHA, AHBA, NASDA, and UpDog. While working ability is paramount here, I'm passionate about proving my dogs in other venues.
My puppies are raised using Early Neurological Stimulation (ENS), Early Scent Introduction (ESI), and a modified puppy culture protocol to ensure they develop into well-rounded companions and competitors. They are raised in the living room and are subject to normal life right away.

The workhorses of RBR. Whether they're out in the field bringing the sheep up for the evening, or asleep on the couch, the crew is paramount to my day-to-day life.
