A true loss in the AKC community. A woman of true integrity and honesty. You will be missed by many

Remembering Lynn Meyer

The dog show community is heartbroken by the sudden passing of longtime AKC Executive Field Representative, respected breeder, and former professional handler Lynn Meyer.

Lynn dedicated her life to the sport of purebred dogs and was widely admired for her knowledge, professionalism, integrity, and unwavering commitment to exhibitors, breeders, handlers, and judges across the country. Throughout her career, she touched countless lives, both inside and outside the show ring, earning the respect and friendship of generations of dog fanciers.

Her loss will be deeply felt throughout the sport she loved so much.

Our heartfelt thoughts and prayers are with her husband, Michael Allway, her mother, Cindy Meyer, her brother Kent Meyer, and all of Lynn’s family, friends, and loved ones during this incredibly difficult time.

Being in the world cup dog show is a BIG deal. Here's Why, the Pastore della Sila was considered dangerously close to extinction during the mid-to-late 20th century.The breed's near-disappearance and recovery followed a distinct timeline:
The Decline (1950s–1970s): Following World War II and the Italian agrarian reforms, traditional nomadic pastoralism (transumance) rapidly declined. As modern farming took over and the threat of large predators temporarily waned, shepherding families stopped breeding these large guardians.
Survival in Isolation:
The breed did not fully vanish, but it survived entirely unmanaged, living in a feral or semi-feral state alongside surviving goat herds in the most remote, inaccessible peaks of the Sila Mountains.
The "Rediscovery" and Recovery (1980s–Present): By the 1980s, cynologists realized the breed was on the brink of being forgotten forever. Dedicated field preservation efforts by experts like Dr. Ferdinando Sala rescued the final remaining bloodlines.Today, the Italian Kennel Club (ENCI) formally states that it can no longer be referred to as an extinct breed due to successful repopulation and its renewed role in protecting livestock from wolves.

We're a small Farmstead at the beginning stages of developing a sustainable farm to table business. We train, breed and have begun conservation efforts with Pastore Della Sila Sheppards and San Clemente Island Goats.
