Why did the peahen cross the road? P.S. there’s no punchline I was just trying to make a clever caption.

I am steering away from emus at this time due to a massive tragedy earlier this year and profoundly negative experiences over the years.

I will keep one breeding trio (standard male, white male, and standard female) and will not be adding anything additional.

I will no longer be personally participating in the breeding of white to blonde or blonde to blonde emus.

With the popularity and “craze” over the last few years, there is simply not a large enough breeding pool of these colors. Deformities are becoming an epidemic and I have found no way to reliably diversify my genetics despite years of effort to do so.

The losses I have suffered trying to build a reputable and reliable program have far outweighed the successes.

This decision will allow me to focus on my other breeding pursuits without the risks and exhausting drama in the emu community.

As always, I love supporting emu owners old and new. My inbox is always open to provide advice and help in a non-judgmental space.

My sleepy boy 💤 I haven’t featured my favorite suburban turned farm dogs in awhile.

They saved the farm a couple weeks ago alerting me to two raccoons.

The raccoons came through the back of the farm where Morpheus (my actual LGD) couldn’t see them.

I’m sure some remember the drama over my dogs barking at my last property. I informed my neighbor at that time that my dogs were a working breed and I WANTED them to bark at night when predators came through. She gave a snarky sarcastic reply about how I was being ridiculous and my dogs were worthless on the farm.

This was the first time I truly saw them in action first hand. I was able to trap and handle the raccoons to protect the farm.

I’m so proud of my Samoyeds and love seeing them do a job. So many don’t realize that these dogs were bred with a purpose (even beyond pulling sleds etc.), and it isn’t always laying around on the couch all day (as much as we love that too). They have cemented their invaluable position at the farm. Retired show dogs living out their purpose.
