Open eyes and minds and self-education, trusting your gut and knowing your dog will help you both.
The times, they are a-changin'.

Hormones matter —especially for developing dogs.🐶

For years, I believed what most dog lovers do: that routine spay and neuter was always the healthiest, most responsible choice. But after decades in practice, and after watching countless dogs develop preventable chronic issues, I’ve realized there’s far more to this story than any of us were taught.

That’s why my friend and colleague, Dr. Peter Dobias, and I created a free 5-part video series called Hormone Health for Dogs, a deep-dive into what really happens after spay/neuter, what hormones actually do in a dog’s body, and how we can better support their long-term health and vitality.

Whether you’re a vet, trainer, or devoted dog guardian, this series will help you understand:
• Why so many dogs change physically and behaviorally after surgery
• How hormones influence joints, metabolism, mood, and longevity
• Safe, hormone-preserving alternatives to traditional sterilization
• Real-life recovery stories from dogs like Pax and Homer

No agenda. No pressure. Just evidence-based information and open conversation.

The first episode goes live Wednesday, November 12th — and it’s completely free to watch. We created this video series to share what we know, and what the research says.

Join us as we explore what modern science is revealing about hormones, health, and hope for our dogs’ future. Sign up link in comments ⬇️

ALVIIIIIIINNNN, it’s almost time for the Pirate Cluster! Theodore, Alvin and Simon (well…Essay, Maisie and Skye) are very excited to announce that Draxen Farms will once again be offering the AKC Farm Dog Test at this year’s Treasure Coast Pirate Cluster at the St. Lucie Fairgrounds October 11th and 12th. Two passing tests under two different judges = a fancy new title for you and your dog! And luckily for you, we have two judges and are running both each day. Be sure to fill out the premium that’s attached below and check out what else the Cluster has to offer this year. The three little chipmunks (I mean Farm Princesses) will see you at the fairgrounds!

Dip here reminding everyone that this Saturday, August 16th, we are having our AKC Pre-Trial and AHBA Junior Herding Dog readiness evaluations. All breeds, including mixed breeds, are eligible to compete in AHBA trials. At this event you’ll be able to see how a PT/JHD is run in real time, learn the necessary skills to pass with your dog and have your dog evaluated so that a personalized training plan can be put into place. This fun event will start at 9:00-noon-ish and costs $30. Make sure to bring water (for you and your dogs) and a crate if you have one to keep your furry friend calm and comfortable while others are working. If you still haven’t reserved your spot, please contact Mike ASAP at 772-342-6125. Tell everyone you know and let’s get more people excited about herding! See ya at the Farm!

We’ve got an AWESOME update:
SO many people with mixed breed dogs have been asking us if they are eligible to compete in AKC herding trials, but unfortunately many are not able to. Luckily Oreo here decided to steal a thinking cap and found that ALL dogs over the age of 9 months are able to earn JHD (Junior Herding Dog) titles through the American Herding Breed Association (AHBA)! As a result of this enlightening information from Oreo, on August 16th not only will we be doing AKC PT readiness evaluations, but we will also be doing JHD readiness evaluations. These two trial tests involve all of the same elements, so the evaluation and components will work the same way and an individual training plan for you and your dog to work on will still be given. Now that we are training for both PT and JHD, spots are guaranteed to fill up fast, so be sure to reach out to Mike at 772-342-6125!

*For all of those wondering, yes, Polly stole the thinking cap off of poor Oreo’s head about two seconds after this picture*
