Thanks @Baymule!!! I think they're pretty special myself! ;)

Ps. The rough collies is just a pet tho he does bark if he hears something strange. He's the most head in the clouds, silly but lovable dog I've ever met. He goes bumbling thru our flock of chickens, over the cats and I don't know if he ever realizes they were even there!! I'm hoping to get a...

Read thru this whole thread today. Stuck inside with a sinus infection so needed something interesting to read. I have 2 LGDs and a rough collie. My male, London is full Pyr and looks a lot like Chunk. My female is a Sarplaininac/Anatolian Shepherd. I got her as a 16 week old pup as a...

What is the other 1/4 of your boy? Do you know what kind of anesthesia they used?

No issue with him, just wanted to know they're clear in case I ever use him as a stud. I was also under the impression from other breeders and at least one vet that I spoke with that hip X-rays weren't valid with OFA until the animal was at least a 2 year old because of the likelihood of them...

I'm looking for info from people who own Great Pyrenees or have extensive experience with them. I have a 3 year old male Pyr and I'd like to get his hips xrayed. I'm really concerned about how to get it done without anesthesia or without killing him if they have to use anesthesia. One of my...

Hi!!! I'm from southwest Ks. My male LGD is a Great Pyrenees. Best dog my husband or I have ever owned, hands down. The female is a Sarplaininac/Anatolian Shepherd. She's in with my does and my male guards the rest of the place.

And, WOW!!!! That's a Lot of bottle feeding!!!! How many does are you currently milking, @Southern by choice?

I hear you on the does vs bucks, SBC!!! With our quads I was so sad with 2 boys and then the next one was a doe and I was like, YES!! :clap Would've taken another doe rather than the last buck but hey I'm not complaining!!! It was my first year using my new buck from Dills and I was Very happy...

Lol ya, it was a crazy kidding season this year!!! I thot the girls were a bit more spread out but Nope, of course they weren't!!! :th And then my senior doe had quads.... 15 kids isn't pry a lot for some people but we'd never had that many babies born in one year before! Lol then add in the two...

Trust me you DONT want her getting pregnant anytime soon. A rule of thumb is 40 lbs or 1 year old to breed a Nigerian Dwarf and I wouldn't go much less with a Pygmy. My good sized yearling Nigerian dwarf doe had a huge buck kid this spring and had a Struggle kidding. We ended up having to help...

Where in Missouri are you located? I'm from southwest Ks and ended up getting my first Nigerians from the Colorado Springs area. Since then I've made the 6 hr trip down to Dills a Little Goat Farm in Oklahoma twice for a new herdsire and a new doe. My current herdsire and my new one are both...

Yup, Nigis, mini Nubians and just got my first registered Nubian this spring. Rescue Appy, AQHA gelding and a Khartoon Khlassic Arab/Pinto mare. LGDs and chickens as well. Any good active thread recommendations for me?

Totally support the replies given here! I'm looking into breeding my Khemosabi bred Half Arab mare but it's purely because I want to keep the foal. From what I've seen there's no way to ethically make money on horses unless you are very very experienced and really have the whole thing figured...

Any chance this thread is still alive or is it dead? I have several horses (AQHA gelding and Arab/Paint mare, rescue Appy gelding) but I really want a drum horse. One of my besties has one and I fell in love the first time I saw her. Any ugh on breed temperament and what it's like to own one of...

I found this thread very interesting as my mare's sire, Khartoon Khlassic, is mentioned several times. My girl is 7/8 Arabian and the rest is pinto. She's got the Khemosabi temperament and loves people tho she's still inexperienced and a little jumpy around strangers.

3 wethers or unregistered buck kids available. $50 each as wethers, $100 for intact herdsire prospects. Out of registered stock, excellent milking bloodlines. 1 mini Nubian doeling. Dam is producing approximately 3/4 gal/day. Sire is Dills Mister Missunderstood *B. Not registrable. $300 1...

Howdy! Another Kansan here, this time from the south west corner of the state. Wow, doesn't seem like there's very many of us on here. I have several horses (rescue Appy that I'm rehoming, an AQHA gelding and an Arabian/Paint mare) Nigerian Dwarf goats, mini and full Nubians, chickens, LGDs and...

I'm from the south west corner of the state. Gray County, here.

Support the Fias Co Farm recommendation. Also another good book is Raising Goats Naturally by Deborah Neiman (sp?).
