With our nine children, a whole mess of cats, a herd of chickens, a gaggle of Guinea hens, half a dozen horses, and a flock of 42 goats on our near 80 acre ranch, these puppies will be VERY socialized. Just about every puppy that leaves here will be child and cat proofed. Our children have each chosen 1 to 3 breeds that they especially like. In most cases, we have only one male and 2-3 females. Some breeds we do not have listed presently because our stock is young, and others we don't have a breeding pair yet. We are working on building our stock. If you don't see what you are looking for, send us an e-mail and we can put you on our waiting list if you wish. </div> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <IMG SRC="images/201fabc0.jpg" border=0 width="250" height="188" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">  <FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" ><IMG SRC="images/FillerPHotos/Sarahglasses.jpg" border=0 width="251" height="188" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></FONT></div> <bR> <div> <I><B>Our puppies get the personal touch from birth to shipment</B></I><I>.</I><FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > Some of our litters have been born in our bed with children all around. Others are born in one of our children's closet. We hate losing even one puppy and try to be right there to help. Some of our dams are new at this birthing thing or get tired of pushing and subsequently do not get the puppy out of the birth sack in time--but not on our watch. We do whatever the dam is unable to do: open birth sacks, suction lungs to clear the fluid, clamp umbilical cords--you might say we are puppy mid-wives. </FONT></div> <div> My wife will get up every 2 hours at nights to hand feed litters if their mother's milk is bad or has not come in yet. Some litters have had to be hand fed until they were weaned. We do whatever it takes. I have to answer to my children if we don't. I have been out at the barn at 10:30 at night in the middle of winter giving mouth to mouth to a still-born kid goat. Our puppies get the same hands on care. We don't have so many dogs that we can afford to lose or give up on even one puppy. Every life counts. The puppy that is struggling at birth might be the one you are looking for. </div> <div> Be comforted to know that the puppy that you will come to love, we will have loved first. </div> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <IMG SRC="images/FillerPHotos/BlakedressingSarah.jpg" border=0 width="250" height="188" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <bR> <bR> </tD> </tR> </TABLE></div> <bR> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
