Welcome
to Lancien Farms
The idea of "Lancien Farm" began as a childhood
dream. I cannot remember a time that I didn't have
this dream. The name comes from my lifelong interest in
Arthurian legend. "Lancien" was a small town that existed
in Cornwall and was associated with King Mark.
As time passed, my dream grew and began to revolve around
the Shetland Sheepdog, otherwise known as a
"Sheltie." The hardiness of the breed, combined with
the intelligence and desire to please, was something that
would later serve well when venturing into sheep.
"Lancien" became the kennel prefix for the shelties and I
began to have modest success in AKC competition show
rings. Having a taste for the "unusual," I
concentrated on the AOAC's (Any Other Allowed Color).
Through time, Lancien Shelties became known for their
striking blues (gray) and blacks.
I have a number of years in raising and showing horses.
This experience with horses has given me the experience to
develop the correct and ideal functional conformation that
is the foundation the shelties are based on.
Additionally, the development of this "eye" has been
helpful in breeding and raising sheep.
The Shelties carried the dream of "Lancien Farm" until 2001
when I acquired a small farm north-west of Columbus,
Ohio. On my 10 acres of land, it is here that Lancien
Farm began to blossom. My interest in all things from
the Shetland Isles has lead to the decision to "Specialize
in Shetlands." The Shetland Isles also has ducks, and
now, so do I!
So enjoy the site - and enjoy the tour of Lancien Farm.
