The Dog Ranch was established over 40 years ago in Trinity, Texas by Julian Weslow. Julian was well known in Texas and in surrounding states for training and boarding hunting dogs as well as a skill known as de-snaking.
Every year, dozens of dogs get bitten by rattlesnakes. Bites can costs owners thousands of dollars in veterinarian bills and sometimes cost their pets’ lives.
Weslow trained thousands of dogs over the past three decades and likely saved countless lives. Dogs trained to avoid snakes can smell a rattlesnake long before a human can hear one. Weslow would always say, “It can save your dog, but it can also save you because they’re going to let you know it’s there.”
Julian passed away in August of 2018. He was Kevin's step-father and Donna's father-in-law. His knowledge of training hunting dogs, his de-snaking talents, and his larger-than-life personality will certainly be missed by everyone that loved him.
