I (Jeannie) am getting back into Shelties after a 23 year absence. I have asked Peggy (my daughter) if she wanted to use my kennel name since we both have limited space and resources.

Aln'phyl Whispering Wind which she later sold to Japan. I purchased a daughter of Whisper's which unfortunately went oversize
