Fairway Shepherds' Story


Sometimes fate steps in to make you re-evaluate what you are doing. That happened when a tragic fire destroyed our entire kennel and breeding program. From the ashes we started anew. Along with the new building came acres of new grass which would double as a dog playground and practice golf course -- the name Fairway was automatic.

We had Fly'n Jib here and found a linebred Adam bitch to breed to him. That first litter became the Fairway "Golf" litter and included our first homebred Best in Show Champion. We also took up the tending style of herding and were soon convinced that Jib and our import bred Izzy would combine well. That was the start of our blending of imported and American lines and has resulted in two Champions and other pointed progeny so far. These dogs all have wonderful working ability as well.


	It's been challenging and exciting. Life is now back to normal on the Fairway -- there are the happy sounds of puppies playing and all feels right!
