At Hummingbird Hill Farms we love dogs. We currently have 5 dogs, 4 golden retrievers and one black chow/lab mix. This is a picture of Ginger. She is currently 10 months old. We will be breeding her starting this fall.
Ginger is a sweet dog. She is gentle dog. She brings me a present every morning when my alarm clock goes off. The present is usually my slipper, a sock, dish towel or anything else she can get her mouth on. She never chews up the present, slobbers on the present.. but just gives it to you willingly (sometimes she can be an Indian giver!). She is a mellow dog, however she never moves slowly. Her head motions are quick and rapid. She love to play ball, loves to dig after moles and most of all loves to stalk chickens. Her hair is very downy and crimps when she gets wet.
This is a picture of Kodiak and Ginger. Kodiak is a female pup that we think is a chow/lab mix. Nichole found her tied up to the highway gaurd rail on the way home one night. Kodiak was about 3-4 months old when we found her. The night I found her was very cold & foggy. It is by luck that she was found. When we got her home we bathed her because she was absolutely dirty and covered with fleas. Now that we have had her for several months we are glad we decided to keep her. She is a very loving dog with a fierce stubborn attitude. She has selective hearing. She likes to chase after the other dogs and loves to have a ball in her mouth the entire time. She does not like to play fetch. We are getting her fixed in about two weeks. She loves to be outside and is the guard dog of our pack.
This is part one of our garden area. This was a few weeks ago when it was still under construction. This is the first time this soil has been tilled up and let me tell you that was quite a chore this year. Weeding will not be fun!! We have spent hours and hours out in this dirt, pulling out clumps of grass, weeds, rock and amending the soil. Part of this tilled area has become Juliet's memorial rose garden. Kurt and family spent many hours putting up fencing around our garden area, installing nice gates and burring the fencing around the chicken coop area (not seen in this picture). The soil is a clay-silt and will need lots of compost/chicken manure and amendments in years to come.
