About Downriver
Thank you for visiting our website! Downriver Farm is a herd dog training and trialing facility run by Lynn and Jim Leach. We are located in a beautiful valley just outside of Hope, British Columbia. There are scenic mountains in every direction, and our property boundary is a picturesque creek that runs off of the mountains.
