Here we have Sabina (the dog) and Annie, Sabina mothered many critters in her day, kittens, puppies and even a miniature donkey. Sabina found us one hot dry August day very thirsty and hungry, she never new a bad day since that day. Sabina died suddenly at the age of 10. Annie has past away now as well, she was 15 years old.
And here we have Chako (left) and Tawnia, Chako was a stray that we found at 6 month and Tawnia was dumped off at my folks place at about 10 weeks. Both dogs were a great pleasure in our lives. Unfortunately Tawnia had to be put to rest on Sept. 20th, 2005 at 10 years of age and Chako had to be put to rest on April 2nd, 2006 at 11 years. The two were looking at Lucky, our old Labrador who is also deceased, he was 14 years of age. It is hard to say goodbye to our old friends.

Here is Zaiva and Chako, Zaiva came to us on September 25, 2005 at 6 weeks, she is 7 weeks in this picture. Zaiva is a lot of fun, she is such a busy body, it had been ten years since our last puppy, how easy we forget.
This is Zaiva at 19 weeks, just after Christmas, she has so much fun in the snow.
Here is Zaiva again at 7 months, she is always ready, able and willing to give a helping paw around the farm.
Here we have Buddy (left) 5 year old Lab X, Zaiva and Kyla 9 yr old GSD. We got Buddy after Chako past away to keep Zaiva company but he did not get along with other dogs in close company so we got Kyla, they are great buds and Kyla has been so good to Zaiva.
This is the newest member of the family, this is Bo playing with his big sister Zaiva. Bo came to us on December 26th 2006, what a great Christmas gift. Bo is only 5 weeks plus a day in this picture, you would never have guessed it, he is a bold little puppy. We liked Zaiva so much we decided to get a pup of the same breeding, so far we have not been disappointed, although Bo has a different personality than Zaiva, he still is a great little dog.
Here is Kyla, Zaiva and Bo, this was taken on the 25th of March 2007, Bo was 4 months, Zaiva was a year and 7 months and Kyla was 9 years.
Here is Bo at 12 months.
