Another walk in my Garden



Its raining again today, but it managed to stop for just a moment to take a break and see what is trying to be spring like and what hasn't drowned yet.... This spring has to be the wettest on record, hopefully the weather will be great for my hot date tomorrow in Bayfield.

Sandie's 2011 litter

In the wee hours of the morning of May 10th Sandie deliverd nine beautiful puppies,  six females and three males, two of these are tri-colored and  the rest are sable&white. This is a well thought out breeding between Cimmrron Whiskey River &  Farm's Pride Sandra Dee.  The combination of both williness to please and desire to work and the strong bond both dogs have with ther family and stock should  prove to provide families with outstanding pups. 


These pups will continue to help preserve the traditional temperament and working traits known to be the hallmark of English Shepherd. They are wonderful working dogs, property guardians, our dogs tend to have an affinity with children and will make wonderful companions for those with an active lifestyle, and as hiking and trail companions. These pups will be highly socialized in our family with responsible children, and the litter will be carfully exposed to different enviorments, and evaluated to provide the best match possible for their future forever homes.


Let me introduce you to our new litter....






This is Lupin and Violet (two black ones) and Thistle (forground)
