Oeor Tom,
J im ond I woukf like lo thonk you for the greet time we hod at the Cattle trials in October. A specia l
thonM to Mr. Claude lively, He hod some really good cottle a nd o well managed ranch. We enjoyed
meeting everybody and talking dogs. We got a reol treat watching Mr. Bill Estes and h is dogs perform.
We hod never $ffn a Catahoula or Dingo etO.U dog work before. In bushy country his dogs would be hard
to beet. I think you ore on the right track now, having these cattle lrials initeod Sheep Dog Trials. In 13
years o f raising stock dog, I have never hod anyone call me wonting o dog to work sheep. Many thanks
for your hospitality.
Thanks Again,

I would like to share will all
of you a wonderful vacation trip
to Quinlan, Texas to visit the
Animal Resaerch Foundation . It
was truly a g reat experience . The
main object in the visit was to
work on a book I ' m writing with
the help of Mr , Tom D. Stodghill;
the book on all breeds of working
stockdogs registered by the Animal
Research Foundation .
My vacation did ' t turn out to be
all work , however . It was a real
pleasure learning about all the

Stodghill is definately a genius
on t he subject.

"The Working Bird Dog"
Dear Mr . Stodghill,
I have recieved the initi..al in -
formation from the sample maga-
zines you sent me several months
ago and I am very much interested
in either Border Collies or Aus-
tralian Shepherds for their fine
qualities . I presently breed both
Irish Setters (Bird Dogs) and Gol d
en Retreivers,all with working
qualities in tact . The American
Kennel Club with its policies o~
of Show Champion being the ulti-
mate goal is disturbing to me as
I feel the working abilities may
be lost in many breeds shortly.
My dogs are all presently regis -
t ered with the A.KC but I would like
like to have them duel registered
with the second registry being of
the type you represent . Will my
dogs be eligible to register with
the foundation? Upon termination
of my Air Force duty I am return-
ing to Ohio where I shall reside
and breed and train dogs as a
hobby . I would like to have my
foundation stock registered with
the ARF prior to my return . Keep
up the valuable work , you are an
alternative to the AKC or as in
my case. Yours for more and better
working dogs, God will it,
Joesph Micheal Godwin

Dear Mr. Godwin,
As you P.re interested in pre-
serving r.nJ increasing the work-
ing ability of your Irish Setter
and Colden Retrievers the ARF will
be very much pleased to regis ter
any breed of dogs or farm ani mals
which will add DIGNITY and RESPECT
to all ARF Registered Animols.
As an ARF Certified Breeder you
will get an ARF Record Book, a pad
of 25 ARF Pedigree s , each new ad -
dition of the ARF Magazine publis-
hed by me ,a years membership in
the ARF and your name in the 1973
·ARF Breeders Listing and this will
all cost you $25. 00 and dues each
year will be $10.
Each ARF Certified Breeder keeps
his own litter ~ecords in t h eir
own personal record book and each
and every pup Will have his own
ind i vidual pediaree and vou as
an ARP Cert . Breeder will have ea ch
PACE TWELVE
pup sold ARF Regicte r ed and the
ARF will return the Registration
Papers to you and you make a copy
of the ARF Registration number
in your record book, then in the
future if a customer looses their
ARF Registra tion papers they can
write you and you can send them
their ARF No . , then your cuztOl'ler
can send the ARF no . and breed of
dog to the ARF and get a Dupli-
cate set of Registration papers
for $2 . 00.
The ARF is working on a book that
will have all leading breeds of ARF
Stockdogs and as your breeds are
working dogs it would be wise to
have pictures and a statement from
you, to make it very clear that
you are registering with the ARF
because yours are working BirdDogs
and that it is the DESIRE of the
ARF to help each and everyone with
the working breed .
This will make 9 years the ARF
has had Stockdog Trails and the ARF
is setting up rules for conforma-
tion Shows, but no dog will be
ARF Champion unless Stockdogs win
in Stockdog Trails and Birdogs win
in Bird Dog f1.eld trials .
To register you AKC dogs with
the ARF fill in the names of your
dogs and the AKC no . on the ARF
Pedigrees . 1'he ARF will give each
dog ARF numbers but will use the
AKC numbers on the sire and dam
as well as the Grand Sires and dams
and on the ARF where it says vol-
ume put AKC to show the numbers
used came from the AKC so the
pedigree can be traced from the
ARF to the AKC .
Lots of people loose their Reg .
papers on regi ,.tered animals and
the ARF wi"ll regis ter them if they
are pure bred and pass in~pection.
'lime has proved this is a great help
help to" alot of people and makes
it possible to keep the registry
true and c orrect . The Sire of t he
first English Setter the ARF ever
registered sold fnr $500. 00 but
the owner had passed away and the
contractors wife couldn ' t f i nd "he

ALL INSIDE
Last Eve I walked a certain
street- and met such Gloomy Folk
I made haste to pass them by:
and neither stopped nor spoke;
The giant Elms dropped suddenly
the very sun was dim- I met a
friend, and said "I hope I I ve
seen the last of h im"
Today I walked the self- same
street, a "Loved the folks I
met"; if business had not made
me leave I would have been
there yet : Of course I have
solved the mystery : ' Tis
very plain to see ! The day I
met t he Gloomy Folks, the
gloom was inside of me !

labor , Dog Power, Mrs . Snitke r is
a breeder of the English Shepherd
dog that she says can pen cattle
herd them and put them into
barns at night.
The dogs can hold and catch hogs
usher livestock into loading pens
and herd sheep from the pasture .
If t hat is not enough the English
Shepherd is a good watchdog as
well as pet for children and wives .
Mrs . Snitker has financial rea -
sons for for wanting to stir an
i nterest in the English Shepherd
she sells them and will have a
nice litte r about Christmas .
The English Shepherd is some -
times confused with the Border
Collie but t hey are two different
breeds. The Border Col lie drives
everything to you wh ile the
English Shepherd drives everything
away from you, The English Shep-
herd has intelligence in heeling
and driving . They take to train-
ing very rapidly, they are willing
wor kers and will develope into
good workers . They are a medium
size but strongly active dog and
are extremely faithful and affec -
ionate . They are not esily excited
and have the stamina and courage

"The Family Dog"
Dear Mr , Stodghill,
I am very interested in learning
the h istory of the English Shepherd
and the breeding method using your
clock- wise method . I would appre -

My two little boys have learned
to love our English SHepherd and
she loves them too . I don ' t think
I could ask for a better "family"

"BLUE HEELER in RESEARCH"
Dear Mr. Stodghill,
Much has been said about the
Australian Cattle Dog (Queensland
Blue Heeler) in r egard to their
ability as a heel dog . In this
they can hardly be surpassed . They
can also, because of intellengence
and some inherited characteristics
be taught to herd cattle .
One thing I t h ink t hat has been
overlooked to a certain extent is
the general attitude of these dogs .
They want to please ! My Blue
Heeler is just 10 months old. Two
wweks ago I decided to teach him
the fundamentals of obedience
such as down, hee l , and stay. In
a we ek and a half he would work
these commands on a loose leash .
Now a week later he works them
on no leash at all. I am a student
plus I have two other part time
jobs s o it is obivious that I do
not have the much t ime to spend
with the dog . Frankly, I could
not be more pleased with this
little Blue Heeler and I think he
is fairly typical of the breed .
I do not plan to do anything
furthur with my tlog as far as
obed ience is concerned because I
intend to work cattle with him .
Should I go furthur I could creue
problems in that he paid more
attention to me than to his work.
But if one wants simply a Blue
Heeler as a pet and wanted to
train him furthue in obedience
I think the potential is definately
the re.
Here at Texas A&M we do hope
to do some research with stockdogs
We hope to evaluate t he ir potential
and limitations as they a r e used
in working cattle. We are not
limited to Blue Hee lers in our
research. If anyone should have
any questions or suggestions,
please feel free to write me as I
am anxious to hear from others .
Sincerely,
Charles Hodges

Dear Miss Duregan ,
The Stodghill Animal Research
Foundati on is the off ical publica-
tion for Australian Cattledogs .
I am mailing you a Certified
Breeders Listing which includes
a list of all breeders of Austra-
lian Cattledogs i n the USA .
Austral ian Cattledogs are also
known as the Queensland Blue Heele rs
and the Red Heele r s because the
Breed was originated in Queens -
land Australia bui are registered
as Australian Cattledogs . They
we igh from about 35 to 40 lbs .
They are usually strong built and
and very active , heel cattle and
horses low and very seldom get
kicked , willing workers and very
easy to train, they do not rush
the stock but keep them movtng
and their natural instincts is to
always heel the back cow .
Under nonnal conditions they
will live from 12 to 16 years
and wi ll eat any kind of dog feed.
I feed mine Gaines and I feed it
dry and let them eat all they
want and I always keep fresh water
and feed them fresh meat once a
week.
The Australian Cattledog has
heavy straight hair and can
stand slot of heat as well as cold
weather and have proved a great
success in Canada where it gets
really cold and have been known
to follow a horse 30 miles ina
dayafter cattle and seems to thrive
on hard work . He is a combination
of wild dog in Australia and the
l eading work dog there , so many
~rosses were ma.de, too the wi lo
Dingo is a dog not a wolf and is
friendly with the domiscated dogs
dogs and so many crosses were
made with the wi l d Dingo that nc
one knew anyhting about but the,
do know they have a wonderful '
cattledog, and in reality i t
doesn ' t amke any diff erence
just how they were all blended
together, we know the Australiar.
Cattledog is w wonderful dog .

We recieved our 10~ French
Catahuola dog in September of
1972, he was six months old at
the time . He is a three colored
dog , being black predominately
with tan markings on his legs
and face with just a few white
hairs on his chest in a little
bunch. I n France they trim the
ears, however I don ' t think I
would have, I like the long ears .
This dog is registered in France,
his grand sire was National Champ-
ion there of his breed . Vai l lant
i s a very alert animal and a very
conscientious dog easy to train .
He works very equally well with
cows or hogs, we use him to lead
our hogs to market . As long as
the hogs keep going up the shout
everything is alright , but just
let one stop or turn around then
the dog goe s toaction, but not
ruff if you keep talking to him,

had that could turn a Black Augus The Thi 100%
