End Gate Ranch is a 200 acre ranch located in south Dallas county. It has been involved for 30 years with herding dog development and a cattle improvement breeding program.

The purpose of the herding dog program is to promote, preserve and develop the herding skills inherent in all herding dog breeds, registered or unregistered, and to demonstrate that they can perform the useful function of livestock management for which they were originally bred.

The facilities are designed for progressive opportunities for exposure and training with various livestock. After the herding dog and handler have shown basic command and control capability, advancement to the next skill level is encouraged.

Recognition of skill isobtained at competitive herding dog trials.
