Lanky was a very powerful working dog when he was a bit younger. He has beautiful style, a natural outrun, an incredible work ethic and is totally fearless. He works all types of stock including sheep, goats and cattle but excels with cattle. He is fast and dedicated. He is a specialist with difficult situations and livestock. He is a handful to work, but can work independently to accomplish most any task. Lanky's even temperament and pleasant personality have earned him a place in many hearts. Lanky's offspring are easy to handle, very intelligent and work with style and heart. Lanky gets along well with children, adults and other dogs.
See the article about Lanky in the September 2002 issue of STOCKDOG Magazine.

Reference Sires and Dams
These dogs do not belong to Possum Hollow Farms
but are sires and dams of some of our litters.

Chad Collins' CHAMP

Champ is an honest, hard-working, hard-hitting cowdog with plenty of cow sense and lots of heart. He hits head and heel and has all kinds of power. Champ is a big-boned dog with a calm disposition off stock and is all business on stock. He works alone and as a team with Chad's other dogs. Champ has excellent bloodlines (click here to see his pedigree). This is a true working ranch dog with all it takes to handle the tough cows.

Robin Taylor's DOC

Doc is the image of his sire, our Moss. He is so much like him that it is sometimes difficult to tell one from the other. Doc works with the same beautiful style and power that made his sire successful. He has impeccable bloodlines (just look at his pedigree!) and managed to get his dam's wonderful working biddability.

Blake Childer's THUNDER

Thunder is a very hard hitting male with all the power and talent expected from line bred McCallum dogs. Thunder is also a full brother to our own Callie. He is a true cow dog in the style of the big ranches of Kansas. Thunder works cattle in a stockyard in Georgia. He is big and bold, an exceptional listener, and hits head and heel with a very strong bite.

Robin Taylor's CORRIE

Corrie is a very steady working sheepdog out of impeccable bloodlines. She is out of David Henry's Spook and David Henry's Beryl and carries the beautiful working style of Wilson's Roy. She is an extremely biddable dog with a great work ethic. She is good to her stock but has plenty of power when needed.
