Welcome Coleridge!

On February 4th we welcomed our new addition, Coleridge (Jalynn's Ancient Mariner).
We have high hopes for this pup, and with any luck he will take us on our first adventure into the show ring. Should prove to be interesting!

He has quickly settled into life at the Black Dog Barnyard and spent his first few weeks here getting acquainted with everyone and learning the routines of the farm.  Big brother Neptune showed Cole the ropes and helped lay a solid foundation for Cole to mature into a gentle guardian to all things great and small.
