About
Skyehaven
Shetland
Sheepdogs
is
located
south
of
Winnipeg
Canada
on
1-¾
acres
of
prairie.
We
built
our
dream
log
home
in
1991
and
have
been
here
since
then.
Over
the
years,
our
property
has
developed
from
an
abandoned
farm
site
to
a
tree-sheltered
yard
bordered
on
the
north
side
by
a
paved
road,
and
on
the
south
side
by
a
narrow
creek.
Over
the
past
31
years
we
have
planted
more
than
500
trees,
included
evergreens,
deciduous
,and
fruit
trees, giving our property the appearance of a park.
We
both
were
fans
of
the
Albert
Payson
Terhune
books
and
of
Collies
as
youngsters.
Our
love
of
the
breed
led
us
to
begin
a
Collie
exhibition
and
breeding program in the late 1980s. We segued into Shelties in 1990 and added a Powder Puff Chinese Crested in 2003.
The
west
side
of
our
property
is
divided
into
7
spacious
6
foot
high
chain-link
runs
for
the
dogs.
We
house
on
average
5-6
Shelties
at
any
one
time.
The
east grassy side of our property is also fully fenced for the safety of the dogs accompanying me on my yard chores, and for our grandchildren.
Cam
and
I
are
both
retired
school
teachers.
Cam
taught
Middle
Years
from
1976
until
he
became
disabled
by
Multiple
Sclerosis
in
1987.
Sadly,
the
progression of Cam’s MS led to his demise in May 2022, leaving behind myself, two children and five grandchildren ages 17 through 22 years.
