Litter News

Our yellow labrador litter arrived 8-26-2010. Click here for more information.

We are also currently waiting on a confirmed pregnancy for an October corgi litter.

 From time to time, I will have Pembroke Welsh Corgi pups or Labrador pups for sale. I love to carry on the pedigree that I have on the farm. We take a lot of pride in the animals that we offer and spend a lot of time with both our dogs and their pups to ensure quality companions. All pups are very socialized and most of the time have already been introduced to other things like riding in cars, the other farm animals and water. Keep checking back throughout the year for litter information or contact me if you have any questions.

We try to make sure that our dogs get plenty of daily exercise and have a lot of room to run and play. All of my dogs get NuVet daily vitamins. You can order this product at www.nuvet.com/1839380 or simply click on the picture at the bottom of this page. I find it a very good daily tablet that the dogs actually enjoy eating as if it were a treat. It's simple to use and helps with their coats along as their immune system. I would recommend it to anyone with a loving companion.
NuVet Plus will keep your pet on the path to perfect health! It's not available in stores, and is only available to the general public with an order code from an authorized professional.

All of my pups are double registered AKC/CKC and are vet checked as soon as they are old enough to be. All first shots and wormings are done and kept up to date before pups go to their new homes.

Originating in Wales, the Pembroke Welsh Corgi  is a multi-purpose breed, the Pembroke's many duties included that of a bird hunter, duck and geese herder, and sheep and cattle herder as well as a wonderful family companion. They are the smallest member of the Herding group, and are well known as the favored breed and pet of Queen Elizabeth II.The Pembroke Welsh Corgi is obedient, loving, loyal, and deeply devoted. They are outgoing, friendly, and thrive on human companionship and attention. This breed is alert, fearless, and assertive. They also make an excellent guard dog. This breed requires minimal grooming. Regular brushing will minimize loose hair. Bathing should only be done when necessary.The Pembroke Welsh Corgi's intelligence and willingness to please make them easily trained.

LOOKING FOR A DEER TRACKING MACHINE?????
 I have been doing some research on corgis and have found that they have wonderful noses and I have been using them to find deer after they have been wounded. Blazer, my male tracked and found his first deer after a half a mile. We have video footage of him after he found it and he actually was trying to bay it. They have been using corgis for tracking titles where they have to track and find people in events all over and it has become very popular. The lowness of this dog allows them to track very easily and with their size, makes them versatile to do this and also have a wonderful family companion.

Once known as the "St. John's Dogs," the labrador retriever is one of the most popular breeds in the United States. Originally from Newfoundland, Canada the labrador was trained to jump overboard into the icy waters to haul fisherman's nets to shore. Specimens were brought to England in the 1800's by English ships coming from Labrador, where the dog's fine retrieving instincts were developed. One of the best family dogs and companions because of their gentle, loving disposition. They are also an outstanding obedience and field trial competitor. Their smooth, short-haired, double coat is easy to groom. Comb and brush regularly with a firm, bristle brush, paying attention to the undercoat. Bathe or dry shampoo only when necessary. These dogs are average shedders. We offer a variety of colors here at the farm now. I have the traditional yellow(or white), chocolate and black and now we are introducing the dilute colors.

 The art of training is to perfect the natural ability of a dog which is what we strive to do here.

We are now proud to announce the addition of our silver labs. A silver lab is a chocolate lab that possess a homozygous resessive alleles at the "D" locus which makes them "dd" whereas most your normal chocolate, black, yellow are "DD". The result is the silver effect which is just the chocolate being diluted by the allele. The same goes for the charcoal labs. It is the black that carries the "dd" allele which makes the black lighter to a charcoal color. Silver labs are registered through AKC as a chocolate labrador and a charcoal is registered as a black.

I encourage you to do your own research of these magnificent dogs as you will see much controversy on them and you will read about many theories and opinions of others. If you do good research you will see that they are what they are, a silver or charcoal labrador. . I did my own research for two years before I purchased my first dilute which is my silver male shown above. I love the dilute colors and that is why I breed them. They are the same as any other lab; obedient, loyal, loving, birdy and are really eager to please. I love working with these dog and training them to do what they do best.

Response of Jack Norton of the AKC on 1/24/00 giving AKC official position on the issue of Silver Labs.

The registry of the American Kennel Club is based on parentage and not the coat color of a member of any breed.

In 1987 the AKC, in corporation with the Labrador Retriever Club of America, conducted an inquiry into the breeding of litters that contained members that were registered as silver. An AKC representative was sent to observe these dogs. The report and color photographs of these dogs were reviewed by AKC staff and representatives of the Labrador Retriever Club of America. Both Parties were satisfied that there was no reason to doubt that the dogs were purebred Labrador Retrievers, however they felt that the dogs were incorrectly registered as silver. Since the breed standard at the time described chocolate as ranging in shade form sedge to chocolate, it was felt that the dogs could more accurately be described as chocolate rather than silver. This remains the current policy of the American Kennel Club
