Current life on the CountrySide.
Not many ribbons, but plenty of sights
Not many awards, but plenty of laughs
Not many travels, but plenty of days at home
And I'm ok with that.
Theodore is nearly 1 year old, and I can't believe. He is working on bird training and gaining some brains. We hope to get him back in the show ring soon
Laney is a Laney. My serbian import. She is 5.5 which is crazy. A quick rise to champion and incredibly smart and focused. She enjoys hunting and doing bird work as well. She mothered one puppy now named Tikka Dot, while trying to be a good mother, she licked her so much till infection and then her body did not produce milk well and it caused a series of problems, so it was decided then she would not mother again.
Levi, my angel boy in all his glory. My Tanner incarnate. My living heart dog. He is increible, his manners, his demeanor. He and his sister are truly one of a kind. I knew I would never have anymore after Tootie that matched his personality.
Paisley, a sweet gal just like her mother cashmir. Always willing to work and loved training and showing. She has the most titles of any dog, across the board. She mothered 15 total all Baer Bi lateral. She was a fantastic mother and caregiver to all babes.
Finnan, the terror. Just kidding he was a good boy and loved. He has his issues though and we work through them. Fun to show for sure. Quick to his championship and enjoys learning and training.. he sired his first and last litter in 2024 and all were Bi lateral hearing.

The labs are my mom's over at Locks of Love labradors, and she has recently lost her 13 year Newton, he lived a good long life. His son, NJ, pictured below enjoys chasing the duck and went on to Grand champion status and Trudy(yellow), NJs, cousin is following in her great uncle Newts footsteps in the ring.

On the farm we are rasing chickens, turkerys,ducks and cows, and soon to be who knows what else. We are forever coming up with new and improved methods of raising animals and adding more.
The 3 kitty's are all here due to their need of a home. So they stuck around, and we are holding to the "G" theme, Guinevere, Grimsby, and Griphook!
The cows, Petunia and Jingle Bell(born Dec 15), and Stanley steer, are all Hereford mini cows. We got them last March and and they have quickly become fan favs.
All the chickens and turkeys come and go, but there are a few favs for sure. I quite enjoy my birds and watching them and seeing the ducks swim and quack after me when I bring them feed.

All in all, we have been so richly blessed and continue to grow in strength and perspective of what's really important in life.

Enjoy what you have, cherish life, and work with your hands.

Christmas Eve what a day.
Letting dogs out before traveling to family for some early gift giving.
One last run in the driveway, who would have thought. My little squirrel chaser, my dotted rocket, my Tootie b***y, would come back and convulse in the yard and pass in front of me.
Tootie was my only puppy from Levi, my only keeper from Paisley. My only grand pup from tanner and cashmir.
She was the epitome of stellar personality. She never in her life , growled or raised her lips, her tail only stopped wagging when she was asleep. She did whatever was asked of her, even when a nervous Jr handler wanted to show. She took on the show ring like the Champion she was destined to be. She accepted all training like the angel she was.
May your tail never stop wagging now, Tootie. We miss you more than we can say because we weren't planning to miss you this soon.
Hug your dog's a little tighter, give a little more grace in training, and spend a little more time making their short time here on earth, a little more sweet, because you never know when they're going to have their last run.

A poem from the ❤️ heart, I started writing when I knew it was time to tell what I'd been holding onto.

Sunset on the CountrySide

Years ago, the day dawned with a brightness of a thousand suns.
Dreams were reality, chances were taken, and the dawn was cresting above the horizon.
Bright, brilliant, and ambitious. The dawn was young, full of spirit, and knowledge. Wisdom had yet to come but would soon make an appearance.
The rising sun was full and warm, beautiful and vibrant. Giving light to the path that lay ahead, calm and silent.
The path was straight, even smooth and laid before me,
I set out for what lye ahead, a CountrySide ahead of me. Beautifully lit, the path simple, yet what my eyes could not see, my feet would soon feel.
Rocks and bumps were forming, and I began to stumble, confused by my feet feeling the crumble.
Rocks of uncertainty, bumps of struggle, rocks of slander, bumps of finality.
Uncertainty of what next, struggles of how to, slander from behind, and trials of time.
From childhood obsession, to adulthood possession, and now, what seems, like longterm cessation.
10 years of practice, a lifetime of hope, burning out like the fraying end of a lit rope.
The sun is beginning to set, as wisdom begins to set in, as the creator begins to speak and turn the light to within.
Illuminating a new path, a new hope, and a new dawn. Like a deer in the wilderness brings a new fawn.
The midday brightness is beginning to wane, problems, struggles, and strife, leading to pain.
Problems unsolved, struggles of hopelessness, strife taking root, and pain beginning to bloom.
The sun is dipping low, the darkness it creeps along.
Relaities making themselves known.
The brilliant light I've come to know, it sinks below. Realities revealing true nature and where the path was headed with me in tow. This in fact was not a lovely CountrySide, but a dank valley a mile wide.
Headed to destruction, following a light so bright. Never knowing the light was blinding me from the true sight. Drawing nearer, the true end beginning to take shape, I blinked slowly unwanting to meet this new fate.
Sunset is upon me, creeping up my being, that things are not as bright as before, and my eyes are slowly adjusting to the new reality that is coming forth abruptly.
Knowing that soon enough no more light will shine, I must make a decision about a new path in this time.
Lest I be stuck in that dank valley that was a trick. My heart beginning to beat quick.
A new path I've yet to know, yet guided by my inner light, I need not rely on my eyes, because the light in my heart continues to grow.
Sunset, it's here. The time has come. To turn from what I thought was my home.
This time in the valley that I thought was a CountrySide, has pushed me forward like a morning tide. well, its come to an end, Ive lived the dream that was born within.
A dream, a reality, a bittersweet ending.

And to that valley I thought was a Countryside. Thats a dream no longer pending.

It is time. Time for the memories, time for thank you, and time for gratitude for all that had been had over the last 9+ years of CountrySide.
You will be seeing a few posts coming, some happy, some sad, but ultimately the end has come.
This has been headed in this direction for a couple years now and I am finally ready to let go and embrace the inevitable.
CountrySide Dalmatians, has come to an end.
I will have a few posts with information, some fun memories, some hard losses, and accomplishments. It will all be here for a last glimpse into CountrySide and what it was and what it became.
If you want photos please contact me directly via [email protected], I'll keep this email open always, it's my primary one anyway. So jot it down, because I will still always be available for information, questions, consulting, and hearing from my people! The website will be canceled soon enough as well so if you want to look through it for pictures of your puppies you may not have, please feel free to do so and download what you want.

I'm not disappearing, just the namesake. Moving on to brighter days.
Those who really know me, Know I'm not leaving the dog world for good. You might catch up with me at a show, or a dog event in the future, be sure to reach out, and don't be a stranger. Memories and reminiscing are my favorite things.
This ride has not been a disappointment but a growing season for wisdom, and perspective. I'm not mad, I'm not even sad, just ready.
So here's to the good times, the spotted dogs, and their legacy.

*Other posts incoming, but in due time.

CountrySide produces AKC/UKC Champion Dalmatians. I strive to produce healthy, hearing, and structurally standard Dalmatians, that have a personality of a companion dog.
