Jack Knox reserves the right to switch dogs working calves to sheep if he feels it is in the best interest of the dog. Jack Knox is a two time National Sheepdog Champion, 2012 Reserve National Champion, and a Hall of Fame ABCA breeder. Originally from Scotland, Jack currently lives in Missouri with his wife and daughter where they operate an extensive stock dog and sheep farm. Jack’s training philosophy allows dogs to “think” by “Making the right easy, and the wrong difficult.” His method allows dogs to progress quickly. Handlers will benefit not only from participation with their own dog, but from watching and listening to how Jack applies his method to a variety of dogs at a variety of levels on a variety of stock.
