Welcome to Crystal Rose Cow Dog College,
a ranch dedicated to making fine cowdogs.  Hopefully you will find this site informative for the purposes of making choices relative to working dogs.  

Owned and operated by Merle and Sandi Newton, stock dog professionals, experienced in the management of large cattle ranches who are devoted to the development of good, solid cow dogs through breeding, training, handler education, practical ranch work and competition.

With a combined 50 years of experience, the Newtons have something to offer everyone. Whether you're a rancher wanting to hone skills for everyday work, a trial handler in search of an extra edge, or a new working dog owner looking for a leg up - you and your dog will enjoy plenty of hands on work with sheep or cattle.
