New Additions!
Please join us in welcoming Rocky and Bloo to the Tally-Ho family! These handsome boys made the trip home to Hidden Acres in May 2006, where they were warmly greeted by their new paddock mates, Archie and Billy.
Rocky is the darker grey with the white blaze. Bloo is the lighter grey with dapples on his face. They are both absolutely adorable. They play and chase with each other endlessly in their paddock! Bloo is definitely the leader - where he goes, Rocky goes. Look for them on the streets of Victoria in 2007!
Leonbergers
We have been so lucky to find this amazing, loving, big and hairy breed. These dogs have been our best friends and guardians of our home and livestock.
Misha
Misha was our first leonberger puppy to join our family back in 1996. I swear you've never seen a cuter puppy! Misha loved to swim, go for walks and chase small white dogs (no, she never caught one!). Misha passed away in September 2004 after a long battle with cardio myopathy. She was taken from us way too soon, but her soulful eyes and gentle demeanour will be remembered forever. A best friend that remains in our hearts every day.
Roxy
Roxy came to us when she was just over a year old, in 1997. She had been neglected and was shockingly underweight. Despite a rough beginning, Roxy had so much love in her heart for all those whom she met - her mantra was "pat me, love me, pat me more". She was always with us or Misha, her best friend. She left our lives suddenly in December 2006 after being diagnosed with a severe case of mandibular cancer. We miss you Roxy and hope you've found Misha over the "Rainbow Bridge".
Jolee
It is with great pleasure we announce the arrival of another little girl to Hidden Acres Farm (sorry Larry, you're getting out-numbered!). Jolee, an 8 week old Leonberger puppy joined our family in January 2007. She is quickly getting accustomed to our busy household, although isn't sure what to make of the gentle giants in the fields yet! As we watch Jolee grow we're seeing little bits of Misha and Roxy develop in her personality. She's going to be a lovely addition to our home!
A Leonberger's Best Friend - Maddison
Maddy is a Maine Coon cat - big, bold and beautiful. Born in 2000, she now weighs in at approximately 15 pounds. But it's not her size that makes her a best friend for our Leos, it's all in the attitude! Maddy is queen bee in our house, and she knows it. She's a great mix of affection, attitude and stalker, all rolled into one. She is our only barn cat, but she doesn't need any help; we've been treated to rats, mice, lizards and birds by Maddy. Don't cat lovers swear it's a sign of affection to their human companions?? Boy, she must really love us!
