More Puppies On The Way









     Inez is expecting again!*  We now have another litter due the third week of January. 

     The puppies will be available for sale/ adoption to good homes when they are eight weeks old.  I will post on here and advertise them when they are born.  If you would like to contact me now about one, please do.  If you have questions about them, please email me (chickenscrapsblog@gmail.com) or text 352-seven four five-3576.  Asking $210 per puppy, cash only please.

     If you are interested in a puppy, email me, and I will send you an application form, or you can go to it here .  My goal is to find all of our puppies good, responsible, forever homes where they will be properly loved, cared for and trained.  So many people simply buy a puppy because it's cute, and then discover that puppies are a lot of work, and are mischievous little rascals.  So please, if you think you want one of our pups because it's cute and you like dogs, re-evaluate your priorities.  It takes a lot of time and effort to train a puppy properly, and if they don't receive that training they will be failures.  Properly trained and loved though, they will do anything for you.  These puppies are smart, sweet and loyal.  Please give them what they need- not just what they want!

     If you have trouble filling out the form, then just copy the questions into a word document of your own, fill in the answers and email it to me.  You could also print it, fill it out, scan it, and email me the scanned file.  I will look through the forms, and will try to match the individual puppies with the right homes.  I reserve the right to decline to sell you one of our puppies if it doesn't seem like a good fit, but I will not be too terribly picky.  Thank you!

* We didn't really intend to breed her this time since she had a litter recently, and had built her a nice pen to contain her and her last litter of puppies, but it turned out that she is a Houdini dog.  She pried the fencing off the wooden frame of the gate, she wriggled out the side walls where two panels of wire joined, she dug under the buried fence- you get the point.  And of course papa Chocolate Lab was waiting nearby...
 We will just feed her lots of eggs, milk and meat scraps in addition to her food, and give her extra supplementary minerals and vitamins, and she should do well.

Marvelous Seeds- Natural Dewormer for Dogs and Others

Naturally de-worming animals can be challenging, and some people will say that you are just better off going with the chemicals.  There are several problems with chemical wormers however.  You see, a chemical wormer is actually a poison, which is fed to the animal in large enough doses to kill, or expel the worms, but in small enough amounts that it hopefully will not injure the animal.  Trouble is, worms have an ability to build up resistance to the chemical poisons used in these wormers.  For example:  A few years ago, when I first started with dairy goats, I had major trouble with worms.  In fact, I lost quite a few goats to them.  I tried using the chemical wormers- SafeGuard (at 4 times the dosage for horses, for 3 days straight), and Ivermectin.  The goats' hair remained curly (a sign of a heavy worm load), and their gums and eyelids were pale.  Finally, most of them died- including three beautiful purebred, registrable Nubians.  I was heartbroken.      Several years later,

Puppies For Sale!

Looking for a good family dog?  Need one who will be friendly with your animals?  We are offering Inez's puppies for sale/adoption to good homes.  As stated in other places on this blog, the sire is a beautiful, purebred Chocolate lab who lives near us.      Inez is a full-blooded Great Pyrenees.  We used to lose chickens to the many predators which live all around us (foxes, raccoons, opossums, hawks, and coyotes, etc.)  But since we got her, we have lost hardly any poultry at all.  In fact, we no longer even need to shut or lock the coop door at night.  (Note:  We do not guarantee that the puppies will be as good at protecting as she is- simply that they come from a dog who is excellent at it.)  She is also super sweet to people and our farm animals.  She is gentle, and enjoys being petted, and although she is slightly reserved with strangers, she has never been at all aggressive.  Little children love her, and she loves them and is sweet and gentle.    The puppies wi

Natural cure (and prevention) for foot rot in goats and other animals

Several years ago, I began learning about the benefits of copper as a supplement.  I learned that it is actually a necessary mineral for goats, cows and sheep, and is best absorbed in sulphate form.      What prompted the research was a case of foot rot in one of my goats.  I was unaware that it was foot rot until someone diagnosed it for me over the phone.  I had noticed that his foot had been swollen for a couple days, but didn't pay much attention to it, thinking that a bug might have bitten or stung him.  After about three days from the time that I initially noticed the swelling he was limping badly.  I mentioned this to a man who was interested in buying him, and he said that it might be foot rot.  He said to check and see if it smelled bad, and that if so, it was probably foot rot.      I checked, and sure enough there was a strong putrid smell to it.  So I started researching  a natural, and speedy, cure for foot rot online.  There was very little information to be found
