RED RIVER CATTLE DOG

ASSOCIATION

The RRCDA is exactly what it says. An all-breed association organized by a group of cattle ranchers dedicated to the use of dogs in handling their livestock. Their trial program is a no fuss, no muss point and time trial. No judges, no canes, sticks, whips, leashes, caps, etc. Handlers are not permitted to touch the stock though they are encouraged to assist their dogs if necessary. It's plain old dog work and a great time.

Membership Fees (Calendar Year): $20.00 per member.
