Caltana and Fandancer



http://fandancercollies.tripod.com/
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Fandancer Collies started as a small hobby kennel located in Southern Minnesota. I met Jeann when I bought my amazing Gulliver from her...(a Christmas Eve puppy...born12/24/2004).

Gulliver fast became a favorite with my husband Dr Phil and I longed for a companion...and so Shadow (Dreaming of a Legend) came into our lives.



In the Summer of 2006 we got the news that Jeann was very ill and she asked if we would adopt Soldier, Mercedes and Lassie. The very next day we embarked on a 2,000 mile drive to bring our new "kids" home. We did not make it on time to see Jeann..she passed away that day.

We strive to keep her memory alive as we share both her passion and compassion for our beloved Collies.

Since our Fandancer Collies move between our home(s) in San Diego California AND Columbus Montana we named ourselves CALTANA COLLIES .
This site will remain as a memorial so that Jeann's hard work and devotion to the breed will be remembered forever more.

The Majestic "Shadow"


This is my lady
Shadow is one of the best protectors in the world.

And Then There is Caledonia



http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V_oi6S4kLuY

"Caledonia"
A Celtic Song

I don't know if you can see
The changes that have come over me
In these last few days I've been afraid
That I might drift away
I've been telling old stories, singing songs
That make me think about where I've come from
That's the reason why I seem
So far away today

[Chorus:]
Let me tell you that I love you
That I think about you all the time
Caledonia, you're calling me, now I'm going home
But if I should become a stranger
Know that it would make me more than sad
Caledonia's been everything I've ever had

Now I have moved and I've kept on moving
Proved the points that I needed proving
Lost the friends that I needed losing
Found others on the way
I have kissed the fellas and left them crying
Stolen dreams, yes, there's no denying
I have traveled hard, sometimes with conscience flying
Somewhere with the wind

[Chorus]

Now I'm sitting here before the fire
The empty room, the forest choir
The flames have cooled, don't get any higher
They've withered, now they've gone
But I'm steady thinking, my way is clear
And I know what I will do tomorrow
When hands have shaken, the kisses float
Then I will disappear

[Chorus]

Caledonia's been everything I've ever had
Caledonia's been everything I've ever had
Caledonia's been everything I've ever had

Welcome to the Wonderful World of Horses and Collies


CALTANA is the call name of my horses and dogs and this is where the beautiful Fandancer Collies found a home. My ranch name came from California and Montana . If you are interested in Gypsy horses or beautiful rough collies feel free to post. In this picture is Caltana's Danny Jack and he is offered for sale to the right home.
