Fisher Stockdogs/Goodwin Kennels

Fisher Stockdogs/Goodwin Kennels This is the "fan page" for Derek Fisher's Border Collies. Please contact me about lessons, clinics, custom training or judging. Hi, I'm Derek John Fisher.

I've been training, breeding and providing services (clinics, lessons, judging, and custom training) border collies, for the last 20 years, to help me manage my sheep flock, feeder and slaughter calves, and compete in sheep and cattle dog trials. This page is meant to help keep you informed, offer contact information and provide the occasional insight into what's going on in my part of the greater

stock dog world. Feel free to call, text email or send a messenger pigeon with any questions or thoughts you might have that I can help with.

So I did a thing! My friend Monique from the “Lift Your Leg”podcast interviewed me! If you have a minute, check it out.

Monique and I started working together several years ago and she quickly became one of my all-time favorite students. It was quite an honor to be asked to join her great podcast. I’ve listened to them and they have given me insight into a realm of dog training that I have little to no experience with. And she’s always been a great resource for me.

Hey everyone! I just got access to a great new training field close to my home in New Plymouth, ID and was thinking I’d host a small, and inexpensive, fun/training day. Let me know if you’re interested in my private messages!

P.S. this is not a pic of the training field lol!

I’m super proud that two dogs I’ve bred (Goodwin Nell and her grandson Goodwin Moss) have been picked to be the face of the incredible Meeker Classic Sheepdog Championship Trials two different years! Goodwin Moss is run by Alasdair MacRae and has been doing well for him.

Good luck to everyone going to Meeker this year! I sure wish I was going! But hopefully next year!

This little girl looks like she might be hitting the trials field this fall/winter!

Good News! I just got Goodwin Mac's DNA panel back and he is cleared on everything except he's a carrier for TNS... Also it looks like he can only throw black and white or tricolored puppies.
