As I stated in my previous post A New Journey Begins I am ready for my next adventure in versatile hunting dogs. On March 25th the G litter at vom Schlussstein Drahthaars graced the world with their glorious presence after a long night of delivery. This was Emma’s first litter after recently running the Armbruster in Gettysburg PA. This is where Jeff met the future sire of this litter, Aragorn(Bodey) out of Donny Zarra’s vom Grimm Haus kennel also in PA. If you are interested in a puppy please don’t hesitate to contact Jeff Green at jeff@green-ranch.com.
Inside the house it was almost feeding time, and as the puppies woke up we talked about size and personalities and of course how soon I can take mine home. These puppies are clearly well loved by all members of the Green family, both 4 legged and 2. With a litter of 7 males and 4 females there are plenty of mouths to feed and bellies to rub.
When you arrive at Green Ranch, more times than not, you’re greeted by 1 or more Drahts running inside the fenced yard and spinning in circles out of sheer joy of visitors headed in the driveway. You can tell these dogs are valued members of the family. This day we were greeted by momma Emma, gramma Ava and great grandparents Ceasar and Katie. The new puppies inside sleeping making the 4th generation of family in a very love filled home. To me this is a huge statement to Jeff’s dedication and love to his dogs, 4 generations under 1 roof, amazing. Grampa Brutus(Jacob vom Buffeltaler) also lives just down the road. There is no shortage of water soaked beards or hunting buddies at Green Ranch.
Jeff explained he recently rehomed Drake vom Schussstein after bringing him back to the ranch from the previous owner. Drake had been there for a few of my visits and I know that his new home will be more than pleased with this great dog. Fia is another draht at Green Ranch I have grown fond quite of, for our limited interactions. She is a very energetic pup from Jeff’s F litter. Fia sustained a broken leg as a puppy and has yet to leave her home at Green Ranch. She is a great hunter and a loving dog. Her leg injury has given her a special place in my heart after seeing Django hop along down her recovery path from her accident as a pup, never fully recovering. I need to get some more info on Fia and some pictures to help her find a new home. She would unquestionably make a great partner for any hunter.
Jeff and I spent some time looking at his game birds, and pens. I told him I needed some guidance on what I would need to keep a few birds on hand for when my pup is ready to come home and start her training. If you have a question about birds or keeping them Jeff is the guy to ask.
I am excited to have the chance to visit with both Emma and body in the coming weeks(and the puppies) at Green Ranch. I’m sure we will have great stories to tell about the great hunters in this litter. enough with the words, enjoy the puppy pictures!
