Protect Our Heritage: Support Conservancy Livestock & Working Dogs

The best way to have well-behaved dogs in the community is to provide safe, appropriate outlets for energy and natural instincts, and opportunities for responsible, professional behavioral modification and training. Like this facility, which is exactly the kind of "country in the city" enterprise that makes Queen Creek so special.

This is a worthwhile endeavor for the community by way of support for local businesses as well as the welfare and care of animals, along with the sharing from individuals committed to working dogs.

For the safety and community of dogs

Keep the herding ranch!

I support this facility and its role in providing the ranch and working animal community with a facility to learn, grow, and demonstrate appropriate and responsible handling and working abilities.

Would definitely miss this.

We have been coming to this facility for SEVERAL years now. Wonderfully run trials- hosts and neighbors are SO friendly! We have even looked at properties in Queen Creek- We thoroughly enjoy the people and community here! The local businesses are truly passionate and have amazing products to purchase! This is a destination location for us EVERY single year!

Queen Creek has a rich varied agricultural history. As this once small community grows, it is vital to protect that heritage. Allowing this venue to continue honors this history, showcasing the working stock dog, while bringing revenue into your community.

Great place to visit or trial. Not many large green farm areas remaining in the Phx area where we can enjoy working our dogs. Thank you for this beautiful facility!

Please

I strongly support D&D Mini-Ranch as a valuable asset to our community as it provides very much necessary education opportunities regarding preservation of our rural way of life. They are very kind and generous to open their doors to the community and share their knowledge and experiences with us! Opportunities to be a part of something like this are becoming very rare and I strongly believe that we need to join our efforts and help preserve the land and the people who are so very kind and generous to share their agricultural heritage with us!

D&D Mini-Ranch provides an opportunity for livestock education that is unavailable anywhere is in the Phoenix metropolitan area. The stockdog trials allow people from all over the country and as far as Canada, to come together and showcase the amazing work still being done in rural American that makes our urban and suburban lives possible. Queen Creek's history is intertwined that American legacy and should be proud to be home to such an exemplary facility dedicated to preserving that heritage.

The support of ethical agriculture and those involved in managing livestock, include working dogs, is of great importance.

I support D&D Mini-Ranch’s efforts to support traditional and sustainable ranching practices by hosting working stock dog trials

Dan and Diane has invested a lot of time and money in this facility for working dogs and it would be a huge loss for the stock dog community without their presence.

Please approve this CUP. Save Queen Creek's heritage. Thank you.

Preserving Queen Creek's rural heritage by approving D&D's CUP not only benefits the city with added revenue from attendance at clinics, educational events and competitions but ripples out to recognize and support this way of life all over the country as people travel to Queen Creek to participate. Please approve this permit.

I fully support The Sandersons holding stock trials at thier facility. Not only does it honor the local heritage it brings money to your local economy such as restaurants, grocery stores and gas stations.

A fabulous facility that many people attend for trials & other related agricultural events. This must be preserved!

This ranch is truly an asset to the Queen Creek community!
