Christine grew up on a working cattle ranch in the San Joaquin Valley. Her family owned and worked with a number of Australian Shepherds during her youth and those memories stayed with her into adult life. She has had the honor to judge sweepstakes at a local Australian Shepherd club and has followed the breed for years. After being introduced to the MAS at Woofstock, we were pleased to bring home Phantom. Phantom quickly stole our hearts and took over the running of our home and ranch. We have added a few more since then thanks to the amazing Lynda Leffel of Skyview MAS. She blessed us by placing several of her wonderful dogs as she moves towards retirement. To have Keeper, Joy, Holli, Ember, Sonic, Ranger and others as our foundation certainly is a dream come true. Christine is serving as the Secretary of the Wild West Miniature American Shepherd Club (2024-2026). Christine finished the Burner in 2025 making him the first championed finished at our home and early 2026 started with Ranger finishing his title. Can't wait to see what the future holds.
