Puppies Nursing

Beautiful and Intelligent. Their Dad, Roscoe, is a Golden Lab and their Mom, Maple, is a Golden Retriever and Little River Duck Dog. They were responding to voice commands at day 11 and started eating from Mom’s dish on day 20. They were born March 5th and will be available May 3 Weekend. They’ll be Vet Checked, Dewormed, and have First Needles. Their Dad helps with Farm Chores, Helps Herding the Animals, and more, while their Mom is very apt and willing to please. These are our Grand Puppies and we’re asking a Grand ($1000) per Pup. These Puppies are much loved and well handled as are Both Parents.

Roscoe and Maple Working as Dog Team for First Time

No Comments
Roscoe and Maole pulling the Toboggan for the firt time.

I’ve never had a real Dog Sled, or Team, but always dreamed about it! I’ve been able to train Roscoe to help me pull feed and water for the animals on the toboggan. Roscoe also helps me haul and bring in Firewood. Imagine what we can do when Maple and Roscoe really get things worked out, and we can do even more!  Not sure I’ll ever run the Iditarod, which was one of my somewhat wistful dreams, but together we can accomplish great things! 

Watch this video to see what a good job they did today…

It’s also so nice to see Maple and Roscoe enjoying themselves outside. Maple has only been with us about 5 weeks. She’s come so far! When she come she suffered from separation anxiety and was super hyper. She definitely still has room for improvement, but she’s come so far! She’s settled down, a lot. She’s learning to listen, and lay down when it’s time, and respond when it’s appropriate! Looking forward to see what Maple and Roscoe do in the days to come!

Maple our new Farm Dog

Sadly, we lost Holly to old age a couple months ago, and that’s left a hole in our hearts, and has left Roscoe missing his companion. So, now, Maple, our new Farm Dog, has come to Briden Farm. 

Our Dogs, which are treated like family, definitely fill an active role at Briden Farm. The help pull the toboggan, bring in firewood, protect the animals and herd the animals, and more! They live active lives and their help makes it easier for us, and helps to keep things move smooth when it comes to moving the animals. 

So, now, we’re welcoming Maple to Briden Farm.

Dad, Briden, and Roscoe

Sadly, sometimes a Sheep will reject her Lamb. Sometimes it means it will die, sometimes it may survive, but seldom will it be adopted by the family Dog! Roscoe, our Yellow Lab, (I call Him a Golden Lab, because there’s nothing Yellow about Him), plays protector to all our animals He Mothers them all, even our cats curl up with him and even give him chest massages! So, I guess, I shouldn’t be too surprised to see Roscoe step up and Adopt a new born Lamb, who was rejected by it’s Mother! This Video Shows…
