About Us
Peg & Maci McGraw
Peg and Maci are a mother-daughter team. The McGraw's started their Border Collie Lifestyle in Colorado, where they farmed raising primarily crops, quarter horses and cattle. Much of their free time then was spent in the rodeo and horse show arenas, but after relocating to Arizona, their started Arizona Border Collies & Stockdogs. In 2021, McGraw's relocated to Texas and thus begin a new chapter. McGraw/T-AZ Stockdogs.
Canine Crew
For more than 40 years, we have raised Border Collies. But it wasn't until 2011, we discovered USBCHA and the competitive herding we enjoy today. It took us a few years before we had dogs to actually run, but that didnt keep us from hosting trials and clinics in Arizona.
Our original Border Collies came from Cattle Ranches in Colorado. Today, our dogs come from all over the world. We strive to raise and train working Stockdogs that have a good disposition, are biddable, have a strong work ethic, as well as good health which are vital to their jobs.
We strive to provide a facility and instruction to help others train their dogs to work stock efficiently and effectively, whether on the trial ground or in the pasture and fields. Mom and i might not be world beaters….but we believe in the sport and the working dog.
James "Jim" C McGraw(1945-2014) and Justin C McGraw (1967-2024)
Gone but always close to our hearts and thoughts are the two other members of our immediate family that have passed. They built a foundation and supported our dreams. We miss them and will always remember their sacrifices.
