ClickMeBC Posted May 20, 2008 Report Share Posted May 20, 2008 I thought this might be the place to post this: I'm looking for information on Kent Kuykendall and his Border collies, but it seems the website is down and I'm not having much luck otherwise. Does anyone here know exactly who he is, whether he's breeding dogs, when organization he runs for/under, etc.? I won't be looking for a puppy for years, but for several other reasons I'm wondering if I could learn more about him and his dogs. If anyone has a pup of his or can tell me anything, it would be appreciated. Thanks for your time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelpiegirl Posted May 20, 2008 Report Share Posted May 20, 2008 Kind of hard to come up with an analogy, but and I mean this in the nicest possible way, it's rather like asking golfers who Tiger Woods is Do some research on google- his site is down, 'tis true, but there is lots of information out there about him.

ClickMeBC Posted May 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2008 No, I know you're right, in that I should know more than I do. I just not be running the right searches after I discovered his site was down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maralynn Posted May 21, 2008 Report Share Posted May 21, 2008 If you just google his name you should come up with several links that will provide you with more information Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shoofly Posted May 21, 2008 Report Share Posted May 21, 2008 Kent and Gwen don't keep their website updated but they're still there in Franklinville NC. They don't trial any more but have dogs and do goose work these days. I know their old dogs pretty well, as do some of the others here. Lots and lots of Kuykendall dogs around. Henry (Kent's father) is still in the dogs as well and has a website you could look at. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eileen Stein Posted May 21, 2008 Report Share Posted May 21, 2008 I thought this might be the place to post this: I'm looking for information on Kent Kuykendall and his Border collies, but it seems the website is down and I'm not having much luck otherwise. Does anyone here know exactly who he is, whether he's breeding dogs, when organization he runs for/under, etc.? Kent is a longtime top breeder, trainer and handler of border collies who lives in Franklinville, NC. He's a former director of the USBCHA and trialed extensively in USBCHA trials, both sheepdog and cattledog, for many years. He is not actively trialing now, but may return to it at some point. He farms, runs a goose control business and is still breeding dogs. He's had many good dogs, but his best was Bill, who was Purina Herding Dog of the Year in 1995 and Reserve Champion at the National Finals in 1999. He and his dog Dehl won the National Nursery Finals in 2000. I don't believe he's giving lessons now, which is too bad because he is an excellent teacher. He does have a very good whistle CD on the market, as well as a compendium of his training articles first published in The Working Border Collie. Is that the sort of thing you were wanting to know?

ClickMeBC Posted May 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2008 Thank you for your replies! You've provided me with the info I was looking for. I'll certainly do another google search and see what articles, etc. I can pull up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebecca, Irena Farm Posted May 21, 2008 Report Share Posted May 21, 2008 He also used to write a lot of great articles in, um, I think it was Working Border Collie mag. You should be able to get back issues with those, by digging around. There's a lot of people who have dropped out, passed away, or greatly reduced their involvement, from being at the top ten years ago or so, so don't feel bad that you had to ask. There no such thing as a stupid question here! I'd have to do the same these days about new faces on the block, so I hope no one has a problem with my saying, "Where can I find information about, or how to contact so-and-so?"
