It's been a busy last couple of months, our temp's have been very hot
and humid. The goats don't seem to mind but it's been hard on the sheep.
Things have cooled off here now and hay and firewood have been keeping us busy.
That is finding hay, we are about 9 inches behind in rainfall, so hay will be
scarce. Joy is in heat and this will be her last litter, I am breeding
her to a male from the Cleveland area who guards alpacas.
We will be keeping at least 1 female from this litter. I already have a
few on the waiting list so if your interested please contact me soon.

The hot and humid days are finally gone. We are about 10 inches behind
on rain. The hay is in the barn. On Sept. 20th we had a successful
mating with Joy and Bruno. Several pups are already reserved.
Puppies are due around Thanksgiving. Poppi our Icelandic sheepdog had
her hips and elbows tested and received a rating of GOOD (hips) and
Normal (elbows) from OFA.

We have so much to be thankful for and tonight Joy has blessed us with
8 pups. 5 boys and 3 girls, all appear healthy and doing well.
I will post the first photo's in a few days.

It's amazing how fast the pups start to grow.
Only a few days old, all the pups are growing and doing well.

Long overdue, I finally updated the Where have they gone for the May 2007 litter with
owner and pup pictures and photo's I've been sent for the last few months.

It's been a rough couple of weeks, unfortunately our litter of 8 is now 5. All the pups
are doing well and growing big. They spent some time in the pasture today.

The Nov. litter has all moved on to their new farms. Reports coming in say they are all
settling in well. I just got back from MI where they had at least 15 inches of snow. We
are hoping for our first litter from Poppi our Icelandic Sheepdog around the middle of
April. She has been mated with Árperla Bjarki.

Spring time is so busy here it can be hard to find the time to update the site. I do have
some new Pyr photo's from owners that I will post soon.
Lambs are here, so far we have 3 ewe lambs, all white. Goats are bagging up and due mid
April, along with Poppi's puppies. Contact me to be placed on the waiting list for Poppi's
puppies. Dancer and Simon have mated and their puppies are due in May. If you are
interested in a Pyr pup contact me soon as I have pups that are spoken for.
Take a look at Keeper on the OUR DOGS page she is one amazing guard.

To date we have 9 ewe lambs and 1 ram lamb. There are 3 more ewe's left to go. The kids
should start coming anytime now. Poppi didn't end up having puppies, she was putting on
some weight but it was probably all those extra goodies. We'll try again in the fall.
