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!

My name is R.G. Miller (For Christ and Kirk blogger), and I was just checking in to say Hi! Love y'alls blog, and its nice to see fellow real Florida (and Georgia ;)) Crackers.
Love the hounds, and the pics all bring back memories of back home in Central Florida, having moved up to this god-forsaken wasteland of the Ozarks (ok, I am axaggerating a hair), It is good to be reminded of home.
I look forward to more posts.
