ABOUT  US!

Here is a little information about us!
   My partner Justin and I are both self employed.  We spend most of our time with the dogs but we also buy and sell gentle family horses.  We buy horses from individuals, auctions, we trade horses and rescue a few every now and then.  We look for good deals and pass on the savings to you!  I first started trading horses when I was 15,  I loved it and it just took off from there.  I've been breaking horses for 11 years and trading for 9.

People ask, what is a day like at your house?  

    Well, it starts early in the morning feeding and watering everybody!  First thing in the morning all of the dogs get fresh clean water. (a few of them would rather play in it than anything!)  I feed everybody and make sure everyone is happy and comfy!  I mop and sanitize the inside kennels.  Then we take care of the horses.  They, like the dogs, learn a routine very quickly and they are expecting us when we get there to feed!  I usually feed everybody, then come back to the house to play with puppies and let some of the adult dogs out.  They have a good 'ole time!  Since we don't have a fenced in yard we just let a few out at a time.  They're easier to keep track of!!  After a few hours I go back to saddle and ride a few horses.  I usually take at least one dog with me.  I think its good for them to get out and go places.  They love it!  Every evening Justin cleans and sanitizes all of the dog pens for me!  As he cleans he makes sure everybody still has food and clean water.  While he's cleaning the outside I clean and mop the inside again.  By this time, we're both give out and we come in, check our email and wish we were already in bed!


Another question  get  is what are you kennels like?  

I have had several people that came out to visit tell me I need to take pictures and publish them on my site!  So here they are!  The kennels are heated and air-conditioned inside.  This building is built like a house with sheet rock walls and a cement floor.  We have a sink for warm baths, cleaning, etc.  We also have a large table for grooming and taking pictures of newborn puppies!  We have a TV and a stereo in the kennel.  One stays on all of the time.  They like to hear the sounds when we're not out there.  We also  have a camera monitor system that allows us to check on the dogs at anytime without disturbing them.  Its great!  Especially when we're having or expecting puppies!  We also use it for security! We just finished a second building a second building that also has heat/air.  We're excited about it!  We like to spoil 'em!  

How socialized are our puppies?  

I am lucky to have a few girlfriends who love to come help me spoil these precious babies!  I spend an average of 6-8 hours in the kennel each day anyway, but I think it's important for them to play with other people besides my husband and me.  Thanks to Lisa and Carrie especially for all of your help!  They all love people and will be happy and friendly when they get to their new home with you!

UPDATE: We have hired a vet tech from our vet to help us part time in socializing, cleaning and taking care of our dogs!  We're excited to have someone like her helping us!

  If you have any questions please feel free to ask!   We'd love to hear from you!  I've always got time to talk dogs! :)

Justin and my dad building the kennel.  They built the whole thing by themselves.  Justin did the outside pens.  What a great job! He's working on another heated/cooled kennel right now! This is part of our outside kennels.  They are covered to protect them from the sun.  Even on days that its over  100 degrees, it stays pretty cool under there!   This is where all the dogs/puppies get their baths, shots, hair cuts, etc!  This table and deep sink really come in handy.  You can't see it but to the right is my TV and refrigerator!   

   

The isle between kennels.  Pens can get cleaned in all weather!  Rain, shine, snow or sleet! We don't have an excuse with these covered pens!    This is a side view of our kennels from across the pond.  We are blessed to   live out in the country with such an awesome view of the Mountains. We keep the puppies in these
cages from the time we wean
them at 61/2 wks till they've had
their 8wk shots.  We feel its easier
to keep them healthy this way! 

 

Down the row of inside kennels.  Tommy, a yorkie, checks out all of the pretty girls as he goes down the row.  He keeps things in check.  He's the best babysitter in the world!  He is also my house dog and my very best friend!  He thinks he's an aussie! This is Brandy inside the kennel, smiling and waving anyone and everyone over to her pen for hugs and kisses!  She's got quite the personality!  The inside of our kennels.  These are the pens on the inside.  They use dog doors to go inside & out.  We use solid dividers when the pups are newborn for mom's privacy!  The inside pens are comfortable for even our biggest dogs & litters.  This litter has plenty of room inside & out!  Once the puppies have had all of their shots they get to go in the inside/outside pens!  

Our Newest Kennel


This heated and air-conditioned kennel has 8 inside/outside runs for the dogs.  We plan on using this as a whelping house for our mini aussies.  We wanted them to have more room!  We're still working on it but it should be completely done by the first of February!  We've done it all ourselves so it has taken us a lot of time, but we're proud of it!

Carmen is shaving a giant schnauzer in this picture.  Sat back to take a break and got a kiss from Brandy!  Carmen comes every day and helps mostly with the inside kennels and plays with all of the puppies.  She keeps everything up to date on shots, worming, etc.  She helps at the barn sometimes too.  She's wonderful!

Pic coming soon! Jessie like Carmen and Misty is very experienced with animals.  They have all worked for years at the local vet clinic.  They work side by side with the vet and have tons of knowledge about dogs.  They're all great to have around.  Jessie helps mostly with the outside dogs and pens.  She has also been seen around the barn a time or two! :)

 

 

One of the best parts of living out here is the beautiful sunsets.  The sun sets behind the mountain and it never looses its beauty.  We watch the sunset almost every night. I know it's a little mountain to some of you!  haha!  But it's all we've got!
