We received an exciting call in January, 2011 from a breeder/friend (Rising Sun Farm) offering to sell Rising Sun Adam Bomb “Bronc” to Boyd Ranch. We were motivated to purchase him because he had been started on cattle and sheep, and is out of a WTCH dam and is sired by the most titled Aussie in the world!
We weren’t looking for an older male at that time, but after receiving his photos and pedigree we were certain this was an offer we couldn’t pass up. Our hearts knew this was a great opportunity to add some new and outstanding bloodlines into our already successful breeding program, so we went for it!We received “Bronc” in February 2011 (just after we unexpectedly lost our beloved male Spur). The difficulty for me personally (at first) is Bronc and Spur are so much alike in temperament and working ability that he was a constant reminder of our loss. Of course over time we realized what a blessing this had become and Bronc has settled in quickly and is working on the ranch like a true champ! It was an adjustment for him at first because he wasn’t used to working cattle in the wide open and moving them so far, he had only been in the arena. He caught on quickly, does hit heads and heels as needed, and reads cattle well. He stays very focused and on task while working.
He’s built working skills with the other dogs and has learned to love us all as his new family. He likes to sit with us on the porch after a long days work and we chuckle at him, he is such a silly dog. Excitingly he will wiggle all over and he loves to be pet and told what a great dog he is….we are truly blessed to have him.

Catty is a beautiful Red Merle who’s sire is Latigo and Dam is a Crown Point female Carmelita. She has one amber eye and one blue.
She’s very cowy and was put to the test on the ranch when she was 11 months old. I had instinct tested her with Rider in the arena a couple months sooner and I got busy moving cattle during the Spring and hadn’t worked her since. One day I was out of fresh trained dogs so I took her at 11 months old with 11 year old Chappy and gathered and moved cows a few miles. She figured out what we were doing within a few minutes and did a great job! She has continued helping us since then and is a hand on the ranch.
Catty is a sweet dog with us and loves to get hugs. She’ll put her muzzle under our chin to get attention and to get hugged. She even does this with the dog pack! She’s a funny girl.
Twin Oaks Cowgirl Up @ Boyd Ranch
By Parentage Eyes clear -HSF4/HC, CEA, Cone Deg, PRA-prcd. CMR1 N/N or M/N, MDR1 N/N, DM N/N, OFA Good!
Cowgirl arrived here when she was an adorable 3 month old pup from Twin Oaks in California. She has matured into a beautiful Aussie and we’re very happy to have her here.
We started her on cattle when she was about 6 months old and she had a lot of natural cow sense. She has continued to progress into a handy Ranch cowdog. Cowgirl has a lot of eye for an Aussie and is a quite worker. She thinks before reacting and excels at moving pairs.
Cowgirl is happy spending the day pushing cattle on the ranch or hanging with us fixing fence. She’s very easy to get along with.
I’ve always thought of Cowgirl as having an old soul. She sometimes looks at me as if she knows what I’m saying to her and as if she’s heard it all before…
Pedigree Cinchy: Sire Pedigree and Dam Pedigree
Eyes clear N/N-HSF4/HC, CEA, CMR1, Cone Deg, PRA-prcd. MDR1 N/N, DM N/N OFA-prelim Good!
Cinchy was born here at Boyd Ranch and is sired by Bubba and her dam is Bellboot. She has an excellent pedigree and is also an excellent Ranch dog!
She is great on stock and is very strong on the heads but will also drive cattle well. She has a good sense of group and loves to work! She had a full time job here gathering and driving cattle before she was a year old.
Cinchy has a fantastic disposition, is good with visitors, but is still a loyal dog to her family. I had Cinchy with me in the cattle pens, when she was just 3 months old. I was opening some gates and getting ready to work some of the older dogs on some calves in the pens. Cinchy ran into the pen and held up the calves on one end of the pen. I snapped a picture of her as I was walking in to pick her up, I think she was showing me she was big enough to work too! She had to wait a few months for that…

Pedigree Nettles: Sire pedigree and Dam Pedigree
Eyes clear N/N-HSF4/HC, CEA, CMR1, Cone Deg, PRA-prcd. MDR1 N/N, DM N/N, OFA Prelims Excellent!
Nettles was born here at Boyd Ranch, her sire is Bronc and her dam is Stirrup. Nettles is a gorgeous Black Tri with brilliant blue eyes and an impressive pedigree! She is a 3/4 sister to Boyd Ranch Cowpuncher.
She is a great cow dog with a fantastic work ethic and will work all day. She will hit heads if needed and drives cattle well, is extremely fast and quick, and no cow could ever out run her! She can flatten down like a pancake and is good at avoiding a cows kick.
Nettles is a sweet girl. She is loyal to the family and gets along well within the dog pack. She is as athletic as they come and could have been an excellent agility dog but she’s been too busy here, using those moves working cattle….
H Cross Silver Buckle Of Boyd Ranch
Eyes clear-HSF4/HC, CEA, CMR1, Cone Deg, PRA-prcd, MDR1 N/N, Hips OFA Certified Good
Buckles is a pretty, blue eyed, small standard Aussie and is primarily Slash V bred. Her lines are well known for being great Cowdogs and she’s no exception!
Buckles is very quick and tenacious on cattle! She has a mind of her own with a lot of natural instinct. She’s a fantastic Ranch type Cowdog because she doesn’t need a lot of commands to get the job done and can think on her own. She’s shown a lot of “cow” since she was just a tiny pup and wanted to work them from day one. She has some incredible moves and is as agile as the come!
She is very loyal to her family and is protective of us and her ranch. She loves water more than any dog I’ve ever been around and will swim in the stock tanks even when it’s snowing outside. It’s almost impossible to get a picture of her when she’s not wet! She’s a great dog and friend.

Cut’N Loose Bosalita of Boyd Ranch
Eyes clear-HSF4/HC, CEA, CMR1, Cone Deg, PRA-prcd, MDR1 N/N, Hips OFA Certified Good
Bosalita is a beautiful Aussie and carries the bloodlines of many of the greats in this breed. In just 4 generations she has fourteen HOF (Hall Of fame) earners in her pedigree and many titled working dogs.
She is an outstanding cowdog and is a true asset on the ranch. She has no fear of a bull on the hook and she can also slow down and bring in small calves. She’s been a breeze to train and is the type of Aussie that listens and learns very quickly.
When she was just under a year old we took her and one of our neutered males (Colt) to help us bring in a couple hundred pairs to the headquarters. Curt and I were horseback and it was just us with the two dogs. As soon as we started gathering cattle a huge rain and lightening storm hit us. Cattle were splitting from the main herd and running for the trees and they were spread out for a good 1/2 mile. It was so loud with the rain hitting and the lightening that we couldn’t be heard above the storm. I was amazed watching Bosalita run and fetching cattle and bringing them back to the drive all on her own. We were all working hard trying to get the cattle moved and nothing was said to each other or the dogs until we got ALL of the cattle to the headquarters. I was so proud of her and of course Colt too, for keeping all the cattle together and not loosing a single one, without any direction from us. What a great Cow pup!
Bosalita has a good disposition and is good with strangers (if we tell her they are ok) but she will protect us if she feels we’re being threatened.

Pedigree Cheyenne: Sire Pedigree and Dam Pedigree
By parentage eyes clear-HSF4/HC, CEA, CMR1, Cone Deg, PRA-prcd, MDR1 N/N, DM N/N or N/M Hips OFA Certified Good
Cheyenne was born here at Boyd Ranch and she has matured into the dog I was hoping she would be! She is a beautiful girl and is the perfect cross between Latigo and Chappy with Hangin Tree and Crown Point lines.
She’s great on cattle and loves to work them and is incredibly easy to train and always wants to please us. She started going out horseback with us as a small pup and started moving cattle with her mom Chappy when she was very young. She’s always had a mature mind and it amazed me how she picks up anything she’s taught and retains it. She’ll go to the heads or heels as needed and reads cattle well.
Cheyenne is also a great all around companion! She’s calm but has plenty of drive when working and is happy doing anything with us. She loves riding on the 4wheeler and hanging out with us at the barn. Her full siblings are also excelling in herding, and have titled in Conformation and Obedience. Some are now moving into Rally and Agility. She is good with strangers and has a great disposition. We absolutely love our Cheyenne!

He is very cowy and has enough hit nothing could get by him in the alley! He did so well working in the pens that we then took him out with us horseback to move pairs out of a trap and push them to the next pasture.

She is a beautiful Aussie with a lot of brilliant copper and blue eyes.Stirrup is a very silly girl and reminds me a lot of her mother. Just being around her makes you smile and laugh as she jumps in the air and waves at you with her front paws. She is very toy driven and loves to play fetch and will run with a toy in her mouth, flip it in the air, and catch it before it hits the ground.
She is smart and obedient also and has been a joy to work with. She is going with us horseback on the ranch, helps us push cattle, and has a lot of stamina and try. Stirrup is very athletic and agile and if she wasn’t so busy being a Ranch dog she would be perfect for agility or any sport.

Eyes Clear- HSF4/HC, CEA, CMR1, Cone Deg,- Negative/Non-Carrier, MDR1 N/N, Hips OFA Certified Good
Chappy is very focused in all that she does, she’s a born “thinker”. Chappy’s my #1 chore dog and is always with me, wherever I go.
Her ability to work cattle is incredible and she works with purpose and complete confidence. She has an amazing ability to figure out which way we are moving cattle and instinctively takes charge to assist us without having to give her a lot of commands. Chappy is tenacious in her ways and she will hit heels and heads as needed. She has an instinctual sense of grouping and can also track cattle. Our Ranch is full of arroyos, canyons, and brush and without Chappy I could easily ride by cattle without ever seeing them. If I tell her we are looking for cattle she will track them and if for some reason I pass by, without seeing them, she will find me and lead me back to where they are.Chappy’s Pedigree is impeccable. Her Sire is a Conformation Champion and also a Working Trial Champion (WTCH). Her Dam is also a (WTCH) Working Trial Champion and a Hall of Fame (HOF). Her lineage is lined with Working Champions, Conformation Champions, and HOF earners.
Chappy is a very loyal family member and would give her life for us, she is a fantastic dog and friend. She is definitely one of those once in a life time dogs!

Pedigree for Boyd Ranch Skidboot
AKC/ASCA Registered
Eyes cleared- HSF4/HC, CEA, CMR1, Cone Deg,- Negative/Non-carrier, OFA Hip Certified Good
Skidboot is the official Boyd Ranch “Comedian” and we’re just sure she lives to make us laugh! So humorous in all her ways, with a great personality, and is only serious when working cattle. She is very on task when working and will drive and gather cattle well. She has a good pedigree with many HOF, WTCH, and Champions.Our dogs are not supposed to work cattle without us, but one morning I caught Skidboot and Chappy, who were young at the time independently moving heifers in a pasture by the house under a nearby tree. It was very hot out and Chappy was bringing them in (a few at a time) to Skidboot who then held them under the tree. We are sure Skidboot was the one giving the orders because she was in the shade while Chappy had to work in the sun!
Skidboot can learn any command quickly and she also smiles on command . If she wasn’t so busy here at the ranch she would be a great at agility or flyball. Skidboot has added so much fun and laughter here on Boyd Ranch.

Pedigree for Rein: Sire Pedigree and Dam Pedigree
Eyes clear N/N-HSF4/HC, CEA, CMR1, Cone Deg, PRA-prcd. MDR1 N/N, DM N/N OFA Good
Rein was born here at Boyd Ranch, her sire is Cowpuncher and her dam is Bosalita. We did this cross for an all Black Tri/Bi litter to keep a pup from it and Rein was our pick! She’s a beautiful Black Tri, and is almost considered a Bi but has a tiny bit of tan on her cheeks and back leg making her a Tri.
She’s been a great babysitter to all the pups born here and loves playing with them. She uses her paws a lot and will swat at them when she plays.
We figured Rein would be a great cowdog because of her breeding and she has proved that to be true! She showed a lot of natural instinct as a pup and was exceptionally easy to train and later started working on the ranch to gather and move pairs and yearlings. She will go to the heads as needed and will also drive cattle well. She’s very good on pairs.
Rein has a fabulous personality. She has a calm mind and even disposition. She’s good with strangers but would protect us if needed.

Concho was born here at Boyd Ranch and is sired by Bronc and out of Sadie.
Concho is absolutely beautiful and has such sweetness in her personality, with us and her dog family. She does have a typical Aussie temperament with strangers and can be protective. She watches over our place when were not here and is a very loyal dog.
Concho is very Cowy and thinks it’s her job to keep cattle away from our house. If we have cattle here in the house trap we can be rest assured they will not get within a few hundred feet from the house. She’s a good girl and won’t chase them, she just doesn’t want then too close! She is as fast as a rabbit and loves water, she would swim in our cattle water tanks all day if we allowed it!
