Meet The Team

Sherry Lee, DVM

Owner, Stock Handler, Trainer, Judge

Sherry brings over 20 years of herding experience to Linden Hollow. A pioneer in the field, she is proud to have trained the first dual champion Shetland Sheepdog in the United States. After a distinguished veterinary career, she now focuses full-time on her passion for stock dog training and trialing. Sherry trains her own dogs, judges trials across the country, and hosts several herding trials at the farm each year. Her reputation as a fair and knowledgeable judge and mentor makes Linden Hollow a respected name in herding communities nationwide.

Natalie Cole

Stock Handler, Trainer

Natalie, Sherry’s granddaughter, has grown up immersed in the world of dogs, livestock, and farm life. From a young age, she was her grandmother’s right-hand helper at dog shows and herding trials, gaining hands-on experience and insight into the day-to-day operations of the farm. Natalie now teaches private lessons, including herding instinct testing, and works with students of all levels. Her calm, encouraging teaching style is ideal for both new handlers and seasoned competitors.
