A word on Natural Rearing! This is a holistic approach to pet health in which raw diet and herbs are strongly emphasized as the primary method of health and prevention. Their worm and general parasite prevention comes in the form of raw garlic, grated carrot, pumpkin seed, herbal tablets, or shredded coconut depending on the day. It's worked wonders! They haven't had a drop of chemical dewormer and their f***l results came back with a ZERO worm egg count. This is highly unusual even for pups treated with "preventative" worming medications! 😁🥳

It sounds funny to say our puppies are "raised on pasture," but it's true! Once they were past infant stage, these pups started playing on grass every day and now spend all their days outside. Their kennel space is moved every few days to ensure they are on fresh ground, providing further protection against parasites.

Just like human babies, environment and nutrition is of fundamental importance for puppies while their brains, organs, hormones, and immune systems are developing. I prefer to adopt out to folks who have some familiarity and/or curiosity with holistic health methods, so let me know if you have any questions!

These pups are still receiving mama's milk daily, so they will carry her antibodies with them for several more weeks, making early vaccination unnecessary and ineffective (antibodies neutralize vaccine antigens). They have an outstanding bill of health, making them much more resilient to disease and infection than a conventionally raised animal. Ask me about your options for protecting your puppy from disease!

"Cowboy" - This boy is all Heeler in looks and personality! He loves to herd, talk, and clown around.

"Rosie" (CLAIMED) - Super bright and funny! She is one of my pups with the most Blue Heeler resemblance.

03/09/2021

"Superman" (CLAIMED) - This pup is pure gold! He has the sweetest little personality and is a little smaller than my other black and brown males.

"Feist" - She may be the runt, but she knows just how to defend herself! She has a fun-loving and sparky personality. We just love her!

"Alpha" (CLAIMED) - She is my super brave and intelligent leader! Curious about everything and the first to figure it all out.

03/09/2021

"Fuzzy" (CLAIMED) - One of my bigger and gentler (and fluffier) pups, he will most likely be just like his papa! Beautiful boy

03/09/2021

"Second Son" (CLAIMED) - The spitting image of his mama! He is medium sized compared to his siblings and will probably be in Rita's size range. He is a calm and loving little pup.

"Eldest" - Thus nicknamed for obvious reasons. 😆 Sweet and gentle, he is one of my bigger pups and will most likely be a lot like his papa.

Papa Dog! This handsome guy was a surprise volunteer. 🤨 We do not know his exact breed, but most definitely has some shepherd traits, and I would guess Australian Shepherd with maybe some Border Collie or some such in the mix? In any case, his personality is super laid back and intelligent. No wonder he wooed our Rita. 😏

Mama Rita!! Rita is a Texas Heeler, which is a Blue Heeler/ Australian Shepherd mix. She has been ridiculously easy to train, naturally knows her borders and does not stray, is smart as a whip and sweet as pie. For such a young mother, we have been extremely impressed with her mothering instincts! She has been a wonderful mama to her 8 puppies.
