We're passionate about dogs!

Our mission is to display the intelligence and ability of the working cow dog to the world.  We want to show people how amazing these dogs are, their connection with their handlers, and the their natural ability to move animals.  The Huckleberry Mountain Invitational Dog Trial brings the best handlers and dogs from around the country to Sumpter, Oregon to compete for not only prestige but a large cash prize.

Founder

Clint Johnson began working and training cow dogs over 10 years ago.  While his original motivation to get into training dogs was for use on the ranch, competing at trials quickly became a passion as well.  His thirst for competition and to challenge himself has pushed him to create the Huckleberry Mountain Invitation Dog Trial.  His goal is to grow the event to have one of the biggest cash prizes available while also maintaining a true ranch setting for the trial.
