Dave Viklund, Double V Stockdogs, is from Molalla, Oregon

After Working with a rancher from Alberta as a young boy, dave began to get into horses, both saddle and draft horses.  Through the years working with horses, Dave learned the skils and theories that his herding dog training is based on.  He started with a young border collie using it to help with his commercial sheep outfit, realizing the principles he used to train his horses was the same as working livestock with his dogs.

Dave now runs a small farm with his wife, Trudy.  They both help people learn to work livestock with dogs.  Dave is a judge in AHBA, AKC, and USBCHA an competes primarily in USBCHA.  He personally has border collies and kelpies, but will tell you that “a good dog is a good dog  A dog that works well is a good dog.”
