We took a lot of puppy photos yesterday and I’m excited to share! But for now, here’s a cute little video until I get photos off my camera 💕
Tiberius x Squash Litter
4 weeks old
Karma is so much like her Mama 💕 She has the sweetest temperament and so much love for her goats. These triplets were born a couple days ago and Karma hasn’t left their side. Karma will be 5 months old in a couple weeks and we’re very impressed by her!
From a very young age Karma’s Mama, Queen Astrid would just disappear into the herd of goats. You couldn’t always see her but she was always right in the middle of them. Her pups have been just like that. Totally dedicated to their livestock. I love that they’ll come say hello to us and then go right back to work.
Good Girl, Karma!

Queen Astrid out teaching little Petra how to protect the herd 💕 Both of our litters this spring produced extremely intelligent, quick learning puppies. We’re very impressed by their instincts at such a young age.
Puckster and Astrid... the dream team! I’m so excited to see how their pups mature ⭐️
Some of Squash’s little guys yesterday ❤️ I just LOVE the personalities of these pups!
Squash and Puckster out on patrol today 💙 They were just coming back from cruising the entire fence line while the goats ate their breakfast.
I finally had the opportunity to take some photos of Astrid and Puckster. Both are working well together and make a fabulous team. They’re out with my herd of Does in a pretty large pasture. It’s nice to see how well they do monitoring things and keeping predators away. I can’t wait to share more photos after I get them loaded onto my computer.
Astrid should be due for her heat cycle in January/February and she’ll be bred to Puckster who passed his health testing this month 🙌 yay! 🎉
Litter reservations are full
Ozias Chasing Butterflies
Our big love bug, Ozias was chasing butterflies yesterday while I finished chores 🦋 Silly boy 💙
A true testament of reliability: We had to move baby goats out to a new pasture last night. They’d never been in that pasture before. It was dark and they needed a guardian in with them. The big threat for our baby goats is winged predators. I immediately knew we needed Astrid. Astrid has been out with the cows for months. I called her and moved her to the baby goat pen. She patrolled the pen and went right to her new babies for the night. This is a video of her and the babies this morning. It’s like she’s been in with them for weeks. 💕
I LOVE this dog so much! She’s the dog that is trustworthy in ANY situation and reliable with ANY stock. She’s our Unicorn 🦄. From the time she was a pup she knew her job and we’ve never corrected her with stock for anything naughty. She keeps all predators away and absolutely despises winged predators. I can hardly wait for her next litter of puppies!
Black and Purple puppy checking out the front pasture today. Such happy boys!
Ozias makes our house look so small 😂
Today is one of my favorite days of the year and also one of the LOUDEST! After 3 months of cleaning lambars.... 💥Commence weaning day💥 Sicario is thrilled... she gets more milk now ;)
Some fun with the baby goats while we clean the barn 😍☺️
BrandR is a pup from a litter we had a couple years ago. The entire litter had lots of personality and wonderful temperaments. BrandR is a full time guardian at Carrie'd Away Critters Toggenburg Goats. He’s got a big job defending beautiful dairy goats from the many coyotes in the area. Good job, BrandR! Such a silly boy too 😜
