About Red Stick Cowdogs
Red Stick Cowdogs is a dedicated Hangin’ Tree Cowdog kennel committed to breeding and training elite, versatile dogs capable of handling all types of livestock in a calm, low-stress manner.
Founded in 2012 by Gary Sullivan Sr. of Denham Springs, Louisiana, their kennel has grown to include two skilled trainers, Jared Lee and Taylor Brown, who work daily with the dogs in real ranch environments.
Their dogs are used to manage a variety of livestock including cow/calf pairs, bulls, yearlings, ewe/lamb pairs, rams, and weaned lambs. In addition to daily ranch work, they also compete in ranch dog trials and arena stockdog competitions across the country.
At Red Stick Cowdogs, they take pride in raising and training dogs that are versatile enough to work cattle at home in the pasture or compete in the trial arena.

Demonstrations & Education
Red Stick Cowdogs believes that a well-trained stockdog is one of the most valuable assets on any livestock operation. During their live demonstrations, they showcase how these dogs can make everyday ranch tasks—such as penning, sorting, trailer loading, and chute work—more efficient and less stressful for both stock and people.
Their demos feature real working scenarios with Angus yearlings and sheep, allowing spectators to see the dogs in action while they explain their training methods and working techniques. After each demonstration, the Red Stick Stockdog team is available to answer questions about stockdogs, training, or any other related inquiries.
