About

A Little Bit About Me, Lindsey Fandrup and my 35+ Years of Experience.

I originated from a background of hardworking, farming, and creative individuals. I grew up working on horse farms and dairy farms, as well as training and fitting horses and cattle for shows. On the side, my dad and I raised milk calves to feeder cattle, keeping a few around for meat for our family. Most of our cattle went to my grandpa, where he would finish them out, for butcher. I have always had golden retrievers in my life, as part of our family, as well as my dad and I would use them to hunt with them extensively. Tucker, whom I received in 1997, was my first, own personal, stud dog. He traveled with me throughout my adventures, from Wisconsin to Colorado, and back home to Minnesota again.  Tucker provided exactly what it is, we all have come to love of the Golden Retriever breed, a huge heart, loyalty, and a helping hand whether we want it or not.  

When I was younger showing Dairy cattle through open shows and 4H, as well as my horses, Chase, Gypsy and Ginger, in every show I could, became a huge part of my life and my development of my dedication to animals. I graduated from UWRF with a Bachelor of Animal Science: Equine emphasis, as well as an additional Bachelor of Arts: Creative Writing emphasis, degrees. I’ve lived in Minnesota, Colorado and Wisconsin. Out of school I trained horses full time, prior to becoming a Veterinary Technician. I became a Veterinary Technician in 2008, focusing on small animals, livestock, and equine. I continue to learn and deepen my dedication to the well-being of our four-legged companions.  

Since starting Ramblin’ Gypsy Ranch LLC, in 2013, our family has grown significantly, and we are fortunate to be family owned and operated. We hope to expand your family as well with a wonderful new addition of a Golden Retriever puppy. In addition to providing Golden Retriever puppies, Ramblin Gypsy Ranch also provides Beef Steer sales, and horse training and lessons for you to learn and expand abilities with your own horse(s). We are located in the countryside of Faribault, MN.
