is charged for a full out at $10/hr. per dog. If you want multiple photos
of several dogs, it's $35 for the sitting fee, $5per dog, and then $10 per

HILL FARM- Organically
grown medicinal herbs and plants. Lots of those hard to find herbs and
plants, most started from seeds. Also, hand crafted mosaics. These
plants are amazing and grown right here in the northwest, so they are
climate adapted which makes them super hardy. Her prices are very
reasonable and she combines shipping rates when purchasing multiple
orders. I have collected several plants from her, and I'm not the
greatest with plants, all of them are healthy and vibrant.

DOG
FOOD
ORIJEN We have now switched to a 100% raw diet, however, we keep a bag of kibble on
hand just for a little variety. This is the only kibble we will feed we have not had
problems with. Our pups are started out on this and sent home with a small
bag to encourage new owners to continue feeding. We were feeding Canidae, but since their
change in formula we've had
coat issues, digestive upsets, and our dogs overall health hasn't been the
greatest.
RED BARN "Redbarn is your source for Premium Pet Products, Treats, Bones, Chews
and Food. At Red Barn we pride ourselves in providing the highest quality
natural dog food, chews, treats and natural bones for your pet. " Excerpt
from their website. We feed the meat rolls in beef and chicken flavor. The
lamb is too rich for our dogs. This is mostly used as training bait, I
have yet to see a dog NOT want to eat redbarn rolls!
Animal
Naturals
Supplier of great products for working and show dogs.
BallyRidge
I met them at the Rose City Classic last year and they went above and beyond
to help me with my girls weight loss issues.
If your going to purchase Show Stopper, please do from them and tell them
who sent you. I also purchased their Traleigh grooming products, their whitening
shampoo is decently priced and works!
Bully
Behavior
Rhiannon is a great help at finding the right food to feed your
beloved companion.
She has incredible knowledge regarding canine nutrition and working dogs.
If you ever seen her dogs, you'll know what I mean!
Dog Food
Analysis
great page for comparing information and quality of different foods
available on today's market.
It's a few months/ years out of date, but
will provide a good idea of what's on the market of decent value and quality.
The following are recommended books for those who are thinking of
feeding raw. There are many books out there, and I'm sure most are fairly
decent. But like anything you must sort through the trash to find real
treasure. These are the books we have read, enjoyed, and now recommend for
those who are considering making a change. The links provided are to
amazon but I shop for my books on half.com where I have found them more
reasonable in price..
