The Rancher is a pale-haired older longpaw with pale fur on his face, and crinkled, sun beaten skin in Alpha's Tale. He is a tough longpaw who is quicker than he appears, training Alpha with a long pole. He is known for leading his Longpaw Fangs and maintaining a ranch that includes hens, horses and sheep and as the Alpha of the Longpaw Fangs Pack. His training is strict, using a metal choking leash or collar to make an unwilling dog obey, giving a treat if done properly.
