About Us

John Holman is from Clay Center, NE where he is employed by the USDA.

John began training stockdogs in 1980 when he was hired as sheep herdsman for Mississippi State University. John is known for his DOG4EWE Border Collies, but has had extensive experience with Bearded Collies, Australian Cattle Dogs, Bouviers, Shelties, Corgis, Puliks, and Belgians. He is also a licensed AKC, AHBA, and USBCHA judge.

In recent open competitions John has had wins at the Iowa State Fair, Nebraska State Fair and the National Western Stock Show. In 2003 John placed 8th and 10th with his dogs Moo and Trim
at the USBCHA cattle finals, and in 2005 John and Mick won the second go-round with a perfect score of 90! In AKC competition John has won over 55 HITs and RHITs with his dogs!. He has also campaigned dogs to 7 Open and 3 Pro-Novice High Point Dog of the Year awards with the Nebraska Stock Dog Association.

DOG4EWE Border Collies are the product of 25 years of work and 5 generations of selective breeding. They have enough power for tough cattle and are very biddable at the same time. They are being used successfully as ranch, trial, agility, and obedience dogs all over the US and Canada. John is very grateful to all those that have helped him over the years. He couldn't have been this successful with out the support of his family and friends in the stockdog community!.
