Full BioVideos
Billie Richardson has been a mechanical engineering consultant for the past 28 years in Calgary, Canada. While Billie never grew up on a farm, she remembers being amazed after watching the Calgary Stampede World Stockdog Championship many years ago and how they could get a 2 year old dog to maneuver around with whistles! She now has a small farm outside of Okotoks, raising sheep, goats and, in her words, "a few useless chickens".
