Here's Dolly, and a rooster she pointed near the end of last bird season. Looking forward to many more seasons with her, she's only 1.5 years old right now.
I'd rather be a free man in my grave, than living as a puppet or a slave....

Ruby, our vizsla That dog is GORGEOUS! In a lifetime of dogs there are two that I didn't take home with me that will haunt me forever. Both of which you could look into their eyes and you knew the wheels were turning �one was a vizsla�.

Pic of a pic of my first registered lab. Got her when I was 14. Read all the dog training books of the day. With alot of luck and a smart, forgiving dog I had a great hunting partner. She was outstanding.... She also got ALOT of hunting time.

All good looking dogs. Even Jet. Here's my buddy Murphy. Gone but not forgotten. He wasn't real sociable with strangers but he never met a sofa that he didn't like. Now I hunt with Mischief the Wonder Dog and Dad's caregiver.

True story, Jet actually killed a Doberman once. The Doberman choked on him...
Thank goodness Jet didn't suffer any damage after we extracted him from the Doberman's throat with a set of bar-b-que tongs... Shrap, so glad to see Jet's surgery was a success.

We need some of these sorta' threads, and I'd thank the other old curmudgeon for starting this one,.... Lotta' the Boys, and a few Gals here, know Gracie.
She's a good natured dog, with a bit of a "Wild Streak", eats the wild rabbits here pretty near daily.
The Queensland Heeler, ... "Halls Heeler" in it's truest form is a pretty fine creature, and an example of just how FINELY a line of stock dogs can be bred for both savvy, and obedience.
She's been on this place in S.E. Az. since 5 weeks of age,....and has ALWAYS seen rabbits as a food source, and something to chase.
This evening I was far enough ahead to finally let her into the orchard / garden / berry patch to check out my new source of fresh manure, critical to an aereated compost tea / liquid plant food stunt we're playing with. She's been asking me for weeks, but the one time her and the other ( Rescue) dog got in, it was utter chaos. This evening I kicked back, opened a beer, and let her come in alone, and give her a chance to respond to quiet commands, coaching, and steering, while sitting back out of the way. Told to "Sit / Stay" She sat for a good 5 minutes, just watching, and waiting for the next heads up.
Gotta' say that for an OLDER dog ( she's 9 now) she really showed a lot of class, and demonstrated to me ( and now to you all) that good breeding is critical to a dog's mission, and that you're wasting time if you haven't brought em' up right. I'm feeling pretty proud of her, right now.
There can be NO denying that her main thought was that these new arrivals were a legitimate food group,....I think this particular pic speaks VOLUMES of "Dog-ese" (Maybe the next pic even moreso. )
She was, nonetheless fairly easy to manage with verbal commands and coaching, though I admittedly tossed the odd pebble and bounced it off her when her attention lapsed. She was very responsive, and looks to be interested in spending more time around the hutches.
Wagged her tail a LOT
Let's hoist one in praise to well bred and obedient Old Dogs !

Are those meat rabbits you're raising there? What is the plan? is it cost effective with bought feed?
Thanks,

Nope,....nothing to do with "Meat", although I'm not above deep frying the extras.
In terms of "Bought Feed", it seems that it would be hard to BEAT Rabbit, in terms of efficiency and weight gain per gram of protien,....or so I'm told.
My MAIN requirement, and these long ears' tasking is that they provide the fresh bacteria and enzymes to kick aereated compost tea into the highest gear possible. Think of it as the "Yeast" that one needs to get decent bread or such. I'd prefer to be using Alpaca manure, they are THE tidiest defecators / urinators in the Animal Kingdom but that would be prohibitively expensive.
There's a batch of their manure and damp litter brewing as we speak,....the aerobic "Bloom" of nitrogen fixing bacteria being nourished / fed by the addition of some common feed grade mollasses.
Once a guy gets this right, outside of trace minerals and desirable enzymes, he may never have to buy "Fertilizer" again.
This whole stunt is in the start up phase,....but I'll tell you that I've never fed ANYTHING to a plant before that demonstrated such immediate and gratifying results. Initial tests have been done with Berry cultivars in individual "Growing Wells", e.g. Feed one / Skip one.
Neat stuff.
No flies on properly fried Rabbit, either.

Thanks,
Jordan ...oh,...neglected to mention that 40-50 % of their feed is already produced here on site. A big fat retired breeding doe can STAY fat, and produce what I'm after on a Tuna Can of Pellets daily, supplemented by Blackberry Twigs ( Blackberries my targeted "Cash crop"), Apple Twigs , Almond Twigs, Pear Twigs,....all here already, and always needing pruning. Lotsa' fine agua, so good Alfalfa's no biggie, either. GTC
