Rob, Sabrina & Colton reside at Cedar Ridge Farm. Our acreage is now 27 acres. We are located in Duncan, British Columbia, Canada.

The photos to the left are of the minor issues Colton has had and to educate people on the Craniofacial syndrome-Crouzon's.

 

 

We have now made Cedar Ridge into a Complete Canine Care Facility. We are working on it everyday-we still have SO much to complete to have it to where we want it. Every time you come you will see changes!

We started doing animal rescue in 2003 & Collie rescue in 2004. We now soley focus on the Collies.


Sabrina has done many jobs- Horse stables, Feed stores, Petsitting, working with dogs & farm animals and even a Correctional Officer. Her goal was to become a veterinarian but after observing the long tiring hours and wanting more time for her own animals she started the Complete Canine Care facility. She is VERY excited about building the business. Sabrina is putting all her years of animal experience & behaviour, as well as certification in Dog Grooming & Dog Training, into play for the business.

Sabrina's hobbies include hockey, hanging out with the animals, photography, arts & crafts and she has taken a new liking to gardening. There is really only time now for the animals & photography of clients! Rob & Sabrina also enjoy working on the farm together-building, repairing or manicuring!

Rob is now Sabrina's grooming assitant & runs the boarding/daycare. He used to work outside of the home as a Teacher's Assistant, working with special needs children. He also works in the After school care program.

Rob is the 'handy man' around the farm-he has renovated our house & shop and continues to do wonderful projects for our property. Rob's hobbies revolve mostly around cars! He is a Mustang fanatic! Sabrina & Rob met playing hockey-again due to time & Rob's knee injury we simply don't get out to play any more. If we ever have a moment to spare we like to explore the island's caves, kayak, play badminton and take the dog's to the river.

This page is also to keep family and friends updated on our son and our family. Colton IS 5! Getting more and more stubborn by the day, he does come by it honestly! His speech is now coming fast and furious. Quite a mimick and quite the entertainer. He loves "running" the business! He greets customers and is the resident dog whisperer! He is in Kindergarten-loves being with the kids but doesn't listen very well!

We received Colton's diagnoses in 2005-he has Crouzon's Syndrome. This is a Craniofacial syndrome that should not effect his mental abilities only his facial features, hearing, vision, dental structure and skull growth. "In addition to craniosynostosis (premature closing of the skull sutures)these children also have fusion of the sutures or bones in the cranial base and midface, and shallow eye sockets. This gives the appearance of a flat midface and eyes which protrude."
