What a smoochable face!
Cute puppy! How old is he?
You putting him with Angel? or Mikey?
I bet Angel would love the company.

Coyote activity has really increased here... sounds ike maybe your neck of the woods too! Glad you are getting another dog!

He's 9 months old. And he is a very sweet boy.
Right now Angel is in with Mikey and the does. She just decided she wanted to be over there and I haven't been able to get her to go back.
So, every night I move the bucks up to the field closest to the house, and turn the spotlight on which lights up where they lay at underneath one of those carports I got.
Emma the lab/bull dog or something mix is staying with the bucks too, but I think she more focuses on getting a good nights sleep than guarding. That's why I move them at night.
Although, she is very protective of the "property" against the neighbors dog, so I think she does make a contribution.
So, we will see how Marvel and Emma get along for now.

I like the OldeSouth line. I almost bought a buck from them but at the time he was out of my price range.

Right now I just window shop

It'l be interesting to see how the AI goes! I have been looking here and there at AI too, it can be a bit spendy but its a good way to get other genetics.

I've seen her animals in person at Shelby, and met her too. She's a very nice lady. And smart too, she's a pharmacist.
Just exchanged emails with her in fact.

I don't think we are going to do any AI this year with our schedule. We kind of do everything around kidding by mid May because of the Memorial Day show. If we were going to do AI would want to try them earlier like in Sept, so that you try maybe twice and if they don't settle still expose to a buck.

Angle has not been spayed and puppies could indeed be in our future.

I can't wait to go get him tomorrow.

Hope he adjusts well with your dogs!

Marvel's at his new home. Has had a bath and he had some gnarly mats in his hair. Scissor trimmed him up.
He's actually white now, thought he was yellow.
Filled up 5 gallons buckets of warm water from the tub and washed him outside.
He enjoyed the bath.
