In The Beginning -

     DRIWIND was established in 1987 as a small hobby kennel, training, showing, and breeding Australian Shepherds.  DRIWIND is a permanently registered kennel name with the Australian Shepherd Club of America.  

     While our Aussies are, first and foremost, our best friends and constant companions, we are no longer competing or breeding.  We are, however, always available to help you find an Aussie that fits your wants and lifestyle.  We would encourage anyone not planning to show in regular conformation to consider a rescue.  And, of course, we are always happy to discuss Aussies and dogs in general with you.

 

The Rest of the Story -

     In 2005, shortly after we took our granddaughter to visit a nearby alpaca ranch  (Thank you, Bruce and Jeri Beatty!)  two pregnant alpacas joined our family. 

     Our original little herd is growing by leaps and bounds.  In December of 2005 we bought our first two bred females who gave us our first two cria in the Fall of 2006.  In the Summer of 2007 we purchased a bred female who nicely gave us a female cria a couple of weeks later.  Two months after that, our original two females gave us three more female cria.  Yes, twins!  You can read more about them on the alpaca page.

     While we have only had alpacas for a short period of time, we are not totally unfamiliar with livestock or with husbandry practices (and, yes, we know that alpacas are not the same as horses or dogs!).  If you have any questions we will always do our very best to help you.  If we don't have an answer for you, we will find someone who does.  We're here for you!
