More Puppy Pictures



Skirting Fleeces...with a little help!

I was going to DO something with that britch wool!  Oh well.  That of course is the puppy WE are planning to keep!  He will be my first boy dog but since we already have two females, we thought he would break up the dynamic a little.  Anyone want to suggest a name?  Born on St. Patrick's day, mom Rosie and dad Spud.  More photos coming this evening of puppies and lambs, as long as my computer decides to cooperate.

Flock Starter Packages Available

Over the past few years my flock has grown.  I have keep lambs.  I have gathered sheep from a variety of states and brought in UK genetics with Neville.  I really love the results I got this lambing season.  Now I am faced with an interesting problem.  I like too many and I have too many.  So I am letting sheep go that I never would have imagined I would part with and offering some of the best lambs ever born here for sale.  I simply need to simplify.  I take care of all the critters here pretty much all myself, with the occasional fencing/tractor work or jobs that really require more than one person.  I have a few little helpers that help on occasion but really it comes down to just me.  I actually moved 4 rams the other day by myself.  Not the smartest idea, but they are all good boys.  I just got tired of waiting for help and they really wanted back outside.  As I have said with this many sheep, not having a herding dog is problematic.  I am allergic to most herding dogs.  SO...it is time to downsize.  I have pups still left to sell as well.  A goat about to have her kids.  Spring sports season in full swing.  A garden to think about planting if it ever stops raining.  Working part time.  Would love to get my horses in shape and ride a little more often, maybe even go to a show. And yes don't even get me started talking about how behind on the laundry I have found myself again.  I guess I am just feeling the pressure of it all.  So that is good for you.  I am offering deep discounts on starter flocks if you buy 3 or more sheep. Please check the Sales tab at the top of this page.  Inquire for details and pricing.  Speaking of all that, I better get working.  I will leave with a few photos my sister took while she was visiting.

Liver German Shorthaired Pointers

 The five puppies left to sell are all solid or almost solid liver.  Some have a little white on their chest and/or toes.  The have beautiful coloring, ranging from almost a milk chocolate to a dark chocolate color...all are considered "liver."  They all are very sweet, like their beautiful mama Rose.  When I looked for Rose I specifically looked for a solid GSP.  Now I hope others looking for solid find us, as we have some really beautiful ones to choose from.

Puppy Update

Five weeks old today!  They are getting big!  Here are a few of the boys.  I have some folks coming today to choose between these three cuties.  Four of the females are already spoken for. We are keeping a male. So there will most likely be 3 females and 2 males still available after today.  All mostly solid liver, a few with a little white on their chest and toes.  They are getting so playful these days and get so excited every time someone walks in to the mudroom where they currently reside.  Very sweet personalities on them all.   Needless to say they have been very well loved around here and a lot of fun to have around.  It is been very nice meeting all the wonderful families that have come to see them and reassuring to know they will all have such good homes. The boy in the middle is sold!
