It looks like Spring is almost here, I won't get excited until the pecan trees on the farm start to bud. I am sure that everyone will agree this was a rough, wet & nasty winter for everyone! We will all be happy to see it GONE!

Racey will be giving birth at the end of this month, we are hoping for a BIG healthy litter. If you are looking for a nice bred Retriever this will be a litter to consider!

If you are planning on getting away for the Easter Holiday keep us in mind for your boarding needs!!!

This past weekend was very productive for the kennel. We ran a few young dogs and faired very well. Our Chessie "Tuff" got his first 2 started passes. Brad ran Lillie on Sunday and she got her 1st Started pass. It was great to see my W. Mississippi HRC friends and get back into running dogs after taking some much needed time off from Hunt Tests. Looks like it will be a very busy Hunt Test schedule this Spring as we have quite a few young dogs that need to work on titles.

Feb 19, 2010

As many already know I have been out of the country for 12 days in Brazil. I have been involved with an Agricultural Leadership group at LSU for the past 2 years and our final trip was to the country of Brazil. The trip was Ag related and very educational.  Our group arrived back safe and sound from Sao' Paulo Brazil yesterday morning.  I am so blessed that Brad, Madison and my parents held the farm and kennel together while I was away.  I will be posting some pictures of my experience in Brazil to the photo page shortly.

Now back to business, we have begun sending our Rose & Gus pups to their new homes this week. We have 1 yellow male available. Also, we have recently had a nice breeding take place with SHR Racey JH & HRCH Hopper. This will be a all black litter that should produce well bred hard running retrievers! Check out our upcoming litters page for more info.

Today, I am remembering all of our veterans and what they have done for our country's freedom! 

Well, the puppies have gotten so big so fast. We completely weaned from momma last weekend and they are all eating solid food well. They are very playful and cuddly. There is still a few puppies available, we will hold them until Christmas if needed.

The holiday season is right around the corner. We have begun booking reservations for dog boarding, if you need a place to board your pet just give us a call or email. We will treat them as our own and I can guarantee they will have lots of fun while you are away!!!

Nov. 3, 2009

What a exciting weekend, I took my youngest daughter , McKenzie 8 yrs old, deer hunting for her first "Youth Hunt". After a very disappointing Sunday morning, missing a shot on a doe and then the gun jamming on a nice buck we were quite frustrated. Sunday evening she and I were back at it wondering if we had used up all of our chances. We said a prayer asking the Lord to let us just see some deer.  We set quietly in our stand and were very patient, (which isn't easy for us)! As we sat and sat McKenzie whispered  "Mom I hear something behind the stand, it might be a deer". I told her deer are usually quiet it is probably a raccoon.  We got our prayers answered when a buck walked right in front of our stand. Both of us were in shock and disbelief. McKenzie said mom we can't miss this one, we have to take him. After fumbling with the gun and we said one more prayer asking the Lord to let the shot be successful.  It was and McKenzie got her first deer! I good looking 7 pt buck!!! When we were out of the stand she turned to me and said Mom we did it together. This has been a day that will be etched in our memories for a lifetime!

I also was able to work with "Lillie" our new blood trail dog. I let her out of the truck which was parked quite a ways from the deer in the woods and she found the deer with no difficulties.

Happy Halloween!

Myspace Christmas Comments

Last Thursday we had 7-8 inches of snow on our farm. That is something that I have never seen before in South Louisiana. My kids had a snow day off of school. Well after the excitement wore off, I went to take a look on the farm and see how the ducks were doing. The ducks were fine but our buildings were not! The hen barn buckled and collapsed due to the weight of the snow. Two of my flight pens were damaged but are fixable. Oh well, they were built to withstand hurricanes not snow storms!

As Christmas Day is quickly approaching, I have been working to let the stresses of each day not overwhelm but to enjoy the Christmas spirit! My children remind me each day that I have so much be thankful for and to not let the worries get the best of me!

Please keep my kids and I in your prayers as we have had a difficult time here at Y-Farms over the past year.

Happy Holidays!!!! I hope that everyone is enjoying the cooler temperatures and is sharing the Christmas Spirit.

We have been dealing with a lot of changes here at Y-Farms but through it all, we never lose faith and keep on pressing forward!

I currently have a few Started Retrievers for sale as well as a few HRCH Hopper & Sadie pups available.

We also have Something Extra for sale. We have an All Black Litter out of HRCH Belle & GRHCH Zip MH. Check them out on our "Something Extra" page

Hello! Things are finally getting back to normal and looking up here at Y-Farms.

With all of the stress of clean up from the hurricane somehow I was able to squeeze in a little time to take HRCH Yancy dove hunting.  A BIG Thank you goes out to Keith Lemoine for the invite we had a BLAST! I posted the pictures on the photo gallery. The dove hunt got me fired up the upcoming duck season!!

I am happy to announce that the Sadie / Hopper pups are just about ready to go their new homes. I still have a few available, they would make GREAT holiday gifts!!!

911 never forget

Some sad news to share.

It has been a stressful several weeks but we are making it through it. We were hit hard by Hurricane Gustav. The storm caused lots of damage on our farm. We lost 10 to 12 huge trees, several outdoor kennels & sections of fencing were destroyed. We also lost one of our new flight pens killing approx. 2000 young ducks.  Two days after the storm plowed through here we suffered a flash flood on the farm causing more damage.

During the storm Brie began having pups and unfortunately she lost all of her puppies due to anxiety and stress.

We have been very upset, unfortunately mother nature hasn't been very kind to us.

August 25, 2008

 Monday

It's a soggy Monday and kinda yucky! But I am really excited about the 2 litters that we have confirmed! HRCH Brie & HRCH Max an all Chocolate litter due right around Labor Day and Sadie & HRCH Hopper an all Black litter which will be due towards the end of September. We are taking deposits on both litters. 

August 7, 2008

Hello! Lots of news to cover....... To dispel any rumors, we are NOT closing our duck farm. We had some testing done through the state of Louisiana a few weeks ago and were asked not to sell and ducks until the testing was completed. The testing has been finished and all is well!   But due to the outrageous  fuel & feed costs we have decided to scale back our farm and sell ducks on a first come first serve basis. As dog trainers we know how much Mallards are needed for training. We will continue to hatch and raise ducks but in SMALLER quantities than in previous years.  If you have any questions about the ducks feel free to email us as we have been swamped with calls regarding the ducks.

 

July 12, 2008

 

Hope that you are enjoying your weekend, it's dry & HOT here in Louisiana!!! We are getting our farm work done early in the mornings and training dogs late in the evenings because of the heat. We have been doing lots of water work at the pond and in our pool to keep the dogs as cool as possible. They love it!!!

We have also been taking several of the dogs to the camp on the weekends to have some FUN time.  Check out the pictures on our "Photo Gallery" page. They enjoy riding in the boat and retrieving bumpers in the bayou and hanging out with our family.

 

July 4, 2008

Happy 4th of July!!!!! Things are Poppin here at the kennel. The Zippy & Hopper pups are 7 weeks old and are beginning to head to their new homes over the 4th of July holiday. We have 2 males available, these pups promise to make awesome hunting retrievers!!!

 

 

June 25, 2008

I received this email from a friend today and I felt that it needed to be shared.

 This is one of the kindest things I have ever experienced. I have no way to know who sent it but it was beautiful soul working in the dead letter office of the US Postal Office.

 

Our 14 year old dog, Abbey, died last month. The day after she died, my 4 year old daughter Meredith was crying and talking about how much she missed Abbey. She asked if we could write a letter to God so that when Abbey got to heaven, God would recognize her..  I told her that I thought we could so she dictated these words:

Dear God,

Will you please take care of my dog?  She died yesterday and is with you in heaven. I miss her very much. I am happy that you let me have her as my dog even though she got sick. I hope you will play with her.  She likes to play with balls and to swim.  I am sending a picture of her so when you see her, You will know that she is my dog..  I really miss her.
  

Love, Meredith..   

  We put the letter in an envelope with a picture of Abbey and Meredith and addressed it to God/Heaven.  We put our return address on it.  Then Meredith pasted several stamps on the front of the envelope because she said it would take lots of stamps to get the letter all the way to heaven.  That afternoon she dropped it into the letter box at the post office.  A few days later, she asked if God had gotten the letter yet.  I told her that I thought He had. 

Yesterday, there was a package wrapped in gold paper on our front porch addressed, 'To Meredith,' in an unfamiliar hand.  Meredith opened it.  Inside was a book by Mr. Rogers called, 'When a Pet Dies.「  Taped to the inside front cover was the letter we had written to God in its opened envelope.  On the opposite page was the picture of Abbey & Meredith and this note:  

 Dear Meredith,

Abbey arrived safely in heaven.
   Having the picture of Abbey really helped because I recognized her right away.
Abbey isn't sick anymore.  Her spirit is here with me just like it stays in your heart.  Abbey loved being your dog.  Since we don't need our bodies in heaven, I don't have any pockets to keep your picture in, so I am sending it back to you in this little book for you to keep and have something to remember Abbey by.   

Thank you for the beautiful letter and thank your mother for helping you write it and sending it to me.   

 What a wonderful mother you have.  I picked her especially for you.   

 I send my blessings every day and remember that I love you very much. 

By the way, I'm easy to find.  I am wherever there is love. 

Love, 
 God

The day is wrapping up and I am trying to remember all that has taken place since my last blog. We recently took our dogs to Magnolia Retriever Club in Flora MS. Yancy earned her 1st Master pass, Pinny & Racey finished up their Junior Titles. I stayed behind to watch after the kennel and wait for Mattie to give birth. She had 6 gorgeous Yellow pups early Sunday morning. All are doing wonderful!

This past weekend we ran dogs in the 1st Annual MS. Duck Dawg Challenge, McKenzie ran Sunny and took 6th place against 27 other dogs in the Junior division. Our Chessie pup "Tuff" took 2nd in the Jr. Puppy division. It was fun and all the proceeds went to benefit the "Catch a Dream Foundation".

This afternoon I was blessed to receive 2 GORGEOUS Black Male pups. Their sire is GRHRCH Becky Lou's Beamer MH. Both pups are for sale, I will be posting more info on our "Something Extra" page.

Well, as I am typing this blog, Daisy is beginning to have pups. I am looking forward to seeing these babies!!!! I will post more info once our new babies arrive.

Happy Tax Day! I am  so excited to share all of the latest news happening at Y-Farms. We have been gone to hunt tests almost every weekend. It is slowly coming to an end for the Spring season and it is bitter sweet for us. We love running dogs but it is tiring to be away on the weekends. We have titled several new dogs this spring! Czar, Shadeaux and Zippy earned Started titles - Yancy earned her Senior Hunter  & Marley earned her Junior Hunter. We have 1 more hunt test at Magnolia Retriever Club to get the remainder of the passes needed to complete a few more titles on our dogs.

Mattie is expecting pups at the end of the month. She is doing great! Mattie is bred to HRCH Elvis MH. The pups will be light to medium Yellow in color. We are taking deposits to reserve pups from this litter.

We have confirmed that Daisy is pregnant and will be having pups on or about May 9th. She is bred to HR Bond JH. This will be another well bred all yellow litter. 

You can check out both litters on our "Litters page".

We have Brown, dark and light Deadgrass pups. Their eyes have begun to open and they are beginning to scoot around the whelping box. Take a look at them on our "current litters" page.
