About the King Family
Larry, a native of East Texas, and his wife Kay and their two daughters Kaci and Kori live about 70 miles North of Houston in Huntsville, where he has trained various breeds of stock dogs for more than 15 years. The Australian Kelpie being his dog of choice. Larry enjoys working with people that have a need for a broke horse or dog to help them get a job done.

Larry and Kay host Cowdog Night on the first Wednesday of each month. This event started out helping a couple of friends with dog problems. It has turned into quite a monthly gathering, drawing ranchers from six surrounding counties. They come to learn about selection, evaluation, training and operating a cowdog. There is a good time had by all.
