Look how handsome Nico looks after his bath, blow, deshed. It is that time of the year when grass seeds are rampant. Feet are shaved every couple of weeks to prevent painful grass seeds lodging between the toes. Many hours are spent grooming to remove undercoat to reduce the risk of prevent penetrative of corkscrew and sharp barley grass seeds. It is a mammoth job with 21 dogs.

This is an appreciation post to our beautiful dogs on the farm in Highbury. 21 dogs currently at the farm and I am so proud of them all. My grandchildren Jai and Amity and Jai's mate Matthew stayed the first week of the school holidays. The love and gentleness the dogs showed toward the kids was beautiful to witness. Bonnie took awhile to accept the teenage boys, and Thuenpa was initially a bit unsure, but soon realised they were friends and not a threat. Added to this, our chickens are now free ranging in safety. Clara, Otis and Nico now trusted with them. It took a couple of years for the three of them to be reliable with the hens, but it was always going to happen. Time, patience and guidance is all it needed.
Despite my struggle with health issues, and not able to be as attentive, being less patient and grumpy at times, they still give me 100% of themselves and unconditional love.

Emma is going well with chickens and stock. Emma will thrive in a family with children. She adores my 6 year old granddaughter and happily walks on a lead by her side doing "training" with Amity. Emma suits a home on acreage where she is part of the family. This gorgeous girl has been through much in her young life. Wandering Dubbo, trapped and impounded. No one claimed her and she was not microchipped. Please share and help find Emma a wonderful home

🤍 BIG FLUFF. BIG HEART. LOOKING FOR HIS PERSON. 🤍

Meet Django — a very sweet young boy wrapped in one seriously impressive amount of fluff. 🥹🐾

Django is looking for a new beginning with someone who understands and appreciates the special nature of a Maremma. These beautiful livestock guardian dogs can be independent, loyal, protective and wonderfully devoted to their people — but they need the right home, space, boundaries and humans who understand their instincts.

Django has previously lived with children, although we have limited information about his history and he is still getting to know us. For now, he’s looking for a home where he can be the only dog with no other animals while we learn more about him.

What we already know? He’s an incredibly sweet boy who deserves the chance to land somewhere he is understood, loved and given the opportunity to thrive. 🤍

🏡 Available to foster or foster with view to adopt

Could you be the new beginning this gorgeous fluffball is waiting for?

The chickens getting some green pick. The dogs were split up into two groups. Thuenpa was with older dogs, including Sassy, with the birds and the rest were out with the Nigerian Dwarfs as they had their first time out into a larger area to browse.
