Ode to Susie Q...

This is "PR' Banjocreeks Little Sue" AKA: Susie Q,

susie is alittle over 6 years old and Ive owned her 5 of those years, she a blessing from God(and I mean that quite literally). She was the reason for me meeting my amazing Husband Jesse, which has led me to this wonderful place in our lives! Susie is now getting up there in age and I felt like it was time to bring more Susie's into this world. EVERYONE needs alittle Susie in their lives, so here's your chance! Susie has been bred to a fantastic Redbone Male from Ashburn GA. His name is T-Bone, he has a fantastic chop that turns into a beautiful Bawl mouth when treed. He is a great cold nose dog with conformation capable of competing with the best on national levels. I cant wait to see this litter!

As most of you know(or will come to find out) I LOVE pigs! So, now I present to you......MS PIGGY!!! my first "real" pig! I say "real" because wild hogs we caught for dog training don't count at my house :) We also brought one home for our wonderful friends( family) the Friches!

From Cowdogs to Coondogs

Let me introduce ya'll to the star of the show, Rooster. He is an exceptional Australian Cattle Dog, he has a wonderful tempermant, conformation and work ethic. We use him as a cowdog, moving cows, seperating or "catching" cows and goats. He is also part of our Family :) He loves to fetch ANYTHING you want to throw, swim or just to be center of attention.

These two are essential to our farm! Maggie and Amos are two Great Pyrenees, Maggie we aquired because we bought "her" goats which meant we also got Maggie. Amos came from a family who could no longer handle his size. They are both Wonderful guard dogs!
