Horses on the Mountain

Our AQHA mare born 1999 brown with markings FULLY TRAINED gr grand of Northern Dancer winner of 2 of the triple crown~

Mare is center of picture

AQHA Mare g grand of NORTHERN DANCER Brown is trained to do it all! She is perfect for trail but still has tons of miles on her for a speciality. While we are in California Brown is in the able hands of a neighbor who is also a police office!

Danny (Backside)

He is a strong and sturdy yet gentle fellow.... He is beautiful when prancing...really lifts his legs!

I am 5' 1" You are looking at me with Danny (picture was taken about 6 months ago) Danny is around 14 hands and will most likely not get much bigger. this helps give you perspective. Danny IS registered. He is gelded. He is read to start training under saddle and/or cart. He has GREAT feet and is an easy keeper. This picture shows you his feathers and they are much fuller now.

Our Story

It was a winter morning when my dad presented me with a bundle of fluff that would become my best friend. I was in first grade and Sir Walter David (for my grandpa) Scotland Yard Scotch Tape Houndt became my first collie. As a young mom I presented Laddie and then Sir George (for my dad) of Saratoga to my kids. Now my grandkids love our collie family (at present we have Gulliver,Shadow,Tess, Mercedes and Ripasso).

Below you will find the wonderful story of how a little girls love of collies became the passion for a family.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

(our collies today)

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.

Our Collies move between our home(s) in San Diego California AND Columbus Montana and so 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.

Caltana Collies

No Place Like Home

OUR MARCH 2009 PUPPIES HAVE ALL FOUND A FOREVER FAMILY TO LIVE WITH. Abby is in Escondido with Patty, Cousteau is in Billings Montana with Katy and Dave and will be growing up with his niece. (a collie female born of an older Gulliver and Mercedes son ), Zucker and Kayzer now live in Mexico with Ian and Karime and family, Indy lives with Marilyn AND his two older brothers from Mercedes/Gulliver litter 2 years ago. Ripasso will stay a Caltana collie in case we decide down the road to breed again we will have something of the wonderful Mercedes/Gulliver lineage. Mercedes will retire from being a mom (as you know we do NOT puppy mill...2 litters in a lifetime is plenty!) Having multiple Caltana collies is catching on...... TWO families in Montana have 2 of our Collies, Carolina and Cesare in Mexico brought TWO Caltana Collies home to Mexico and The Varneys in California have THREE Caltana Collies. I believe that folks getting more than one and/or coming back for another one of our dogs is a testimonial to the quality of Caltana Collies and a reflection on everything Jeann did with Fandancer collies. It is also a testimonial to our own dog whisperer Dr Phil who is one of the best I have ever seen at the socialization of weanlings. We are happy for our new family members as we hope to hear about the babies and how they grow! Barb and Dr Phil
