so many things to write about so little time!!

Truffle festival photos and stories will be the next post - I promise!!






But in the mean time here some beautiful shots of the dogs - We had a professional photographer out here at the farm scouting out place for a photo shoot for a catalog (can't tell which one till we get the gig - then you KNOW I will : ) the photographer had a really nice easy way about him and took beautiful photos! - he's got a very nice web site with more of his work check it out!

I'm still waiting for the fruit trees any minute now they will be exploding...


the bees are flying and collecting pollen as fast as they can...






and mr. big paws is growing up fast and bigger than his mom already...



happy spring!!

thanks to my family

They farm sat for us !! sooo Brian and I got to get away for the weekend (it's been since around this time last year we were both off the farm together - it was a wine tasting event but it was off the farm and both of us at the same time and in a hotel room and two count 'em two nights out with just the two of us.. it was lovely! and much needed... in the mean time the pups and the farm were in the care of my sister in law brother and there two beautiful kids... I don't think anyone suffered lack of love...

puppy update

Rudy is now sold. Congrats Rudy I'm excited about your new home. You are welcome to come back and visit. xx

our catahoulas puppies are for sale (sniff sniff)

The Puppies are finally officially for sale - It was so hard to chose but we have settled on Levi. (please contact me - clare at bigtablefarm dot com - for serious inquires regarding owning one of these very special pups - there pedigree can be seen here)

there are three dogs available - Lilli, Rudy and the Dude (I assume the new owners will re-name)



Lilli - Is the smartest pup in the litter IMO - she's a spit fire - I think she will do well as the queen of her castle.. I think she will make an excelent working dog with her energy adn quick thinking.. she's also very sweet and I think will be a VERY loyal dog. I'd like to see this dog go to someone who has owned working dogs.




















This is Rudy - He is hands down the sweetest of the four dogs and the most loving and people oriented - He's the biggest dog of the litter and VERY laid back and beta - He's a comfort seeking lover and will be a wonderful pet.













This is the Dude - He's the dog I almost kept - He's also very people oriented. He's smart and athletic I think he's a dog that will rise to just about any occasion. He's got eyes that look right through you. He's smart but seems like he will be very eager to please and nice to train.


















This is Levi who we will be keeping here at Big Table Farm - We think he will be a good working dog.
