Meet Pistol Fanny Rue, the cornerstone of our breeding program. Born on September 1, 2020, in the serene West Kootenai region of Rexford, Montana, Fanny’s story began in the picturesque Amish community of RM Horses. She entered our lives during a transitional time, shortly after the loss of my mare, and her arrival at just 8 weeks old was marked by a playful introduction to the cold, snowy Montana winters.
Fanny was raised alongside Payslee Sue, our cherished 11-year-old Pembroke Welsh Corgi matriarch. Payslee’s legacy of kindness, intelligence, and spirited personality shaped Fanny into the charismatic, sassy companion she is today.
As a proven dam, Fanny has consistently delivered healthy, robust litters, with every puppy thriving under her care. She is a devoted mother, staying engaged with her puppies throughout their first 8 weeks before they transition to their new homes. Her nurturing nature and dedication to her puppies are unmatched.
Fanny loves her downtime on the couch but never says no to a spirited ball session—though she’s just as happy chasing the retriever as retrieving the ball herself! She confidently holds the role of our alpha female, guiding the pack with grace and composure, never displaying aggression but naturally running the show.
Raised among a variety of animals, including geese, chickens, horses, cattle, and cats, Fanny is an excellent house and outdoor companion. Her laid-back temperament, loyalty, and adaptability make her a beloved member of our family.
Fanny is the pride of our program and will remain a cherished part of our home even after her retirement, anticipated in 2027. Her legacy will continue to shape the heart of our breeding program for years to come.
