It's Fall Time in the Country!

My goodness, what an outfit!  But hey, she's a workin' girl.

Kate - Our New Puppy!

Here is Kate (Lady Katherine of Caledonia Manor), our sweet new puppy.  She is a Greater Swiss Mountain Dog, which is a rare breed, (different than the Bernese Mountain Dog).  Swissies are very sweet, loyal, gentle, hardly shed and DON'T drool!!!!  That is a huge plus!  They were used in Switzerland to pull carts and haul fire wood, thus their nick-name of "the poor man's horse."  They were used as working dogs until vehicles became more popular putting most of the dogs out of work.  They recently began breeding Swissies again in the late 1980's and now today are becoming more popular because of their gentle, quiet, and sweet nature.

Kate (14 weeks old) loves to romp and play in the leaves.  Don't let her sweet looks fool you, she can get quite wound up chasing leaves and our feet!!!  Yikes!

 Yes, Lydia loves her too!

 Pretty girl!

 Gracie has been researching and studying this breed for over a year and by God's grace we were able to find an amazing show puppy for her.
