Porter Ranch

We are proud sponsors of any dog event, and our first endorsement is for the 2011 finals for the National Sheepdog Finals in beautiful Carbondale, Colorado!

Our love for Border Collies and working dogs goes way back and Sam was a much loved cross. May he rest in peace and play with his father, Tag and his mother Bill Russel, across the rainbow bridge. If love could have saved him, he would be here still.

SPONSOR a dog and be in the top 3 and win a night away here on the Ranch! Winners are picked and listed below!!!

Our menu will feature an elk tenderloin supper , Rocky Mountain elk from the Ranch, and we will personally cook you a very memorable meal OR have everything set up in the cabin for you to take charge, if that is your fancy! Your winning dog also gets you here for a  horse back ride the day you arrive or  in the morning after your stay here, and you may relax, enjoy the vistas, fish, hike and play with your dog(s) or just wind down and flop at our place.

Please go to www.sheepdogfinals.com, and visit the site for information on this stellar event here in the Roaring Fork Valley!  We proudly sponsor this family event, and it's host the Strang Ranch, and the Aspen Valley Land Trust, and many thanks to Ellen Strang Nieslanik for all her hard work and dedication to the dogs and the people that make Meeker and now, the finals a part of our heritage here in Colorado!
