Nala
Nala is an 11 year old 50% German Shepherd 50% Golden Retriever. She is the smartest dog we have ever known. Nala will pick up new tricks in one repetition. Her latest trick was climbing steps on a jungle gym and sliding down the wavy slide. She is also protective of our family, watchful over our children, and guardian of our farm. Other people see her value and we have been stopped in parking lots, etc and asked if we would sell her many times! Our lives have been blessed because she is in it.

Here's a picture of Nala taken 2/2//2006.
She's sleeping on her new dog bed.
She rode with us to get it so we bought her a hot dog on the way home..
She's feeling pretty pampered.

Chloe and Her Pups

This year, we bred our Collie to a Lab. They are called Lollies and they are a breed we originated. We got some excellent puppies and they were sold to wonderful homes quickly. People were lined up to buy them. We had over 40 people who wanted to buy a puppy. Demand was so high we bred her again fall of 2005. (We did and she had 13 puppies! So many people responded, we have a waiting list of 25 people for her next litter.)

Hi Mom! Chloe's pups were kept in a pen she could enter and exit at will.
She needed a break now and then.
