Arrival Story:
My sister and I once found a book that contained information about the Icelandic Sheepdog, and we instantly fell in love. The hard thing was obtaining one. The breed is extremely rare; there are only some 200-odd (or even less?) Icelandic Sheepdogs in the United States. We're certainly proud to own an "Icie," as the breed lovers call them. Ray was flown in to us from Michigan, directly from a breeder. Since he joined our family, he adjusted perfectly, and we cannot imagine life without him.

Bio:
Ray is a proud graduate of a basic obedience class. We're trying hard to make time for an advanced obedience class, and after that, it's on to agility!
