Visitors welcome by appointment.
Our Farmette is home to our dogs, 2 horses, chickens, ducks and geese.
Our animals are like children to us and, as such:
-
We give endless hours - care, love, training, chores, lack of sleep to sit with sick ones or when whelping a litter
-
Patiently sit, hold, provide encouragement and wait hours with a girl ready to whelp a litter
-
To know our animals so well, that we instinctively know when one is not well
-
To be patient with training, education and discipline with any animal
-
To NEVER put winning above the welfare of our animals
-
To compete with honor and dignity and NOT court favors for personal gain
-
Pride in our barn and kennel establishment - whether it be mucking stalls, mowing grass, mending fences, etc.
-
To never compromise in the quality of food, care and welfare of our animals while foregoing many things for ourselves
-
To have the COURAGE and HEART to be with our animals when their time is up here on this earth
-
To realize that our learning and education is NEVER-ENDING
-
To accept the consequences if we are wrong
-
To revel in the unconditional love every animal here gives us!
