Do not give outside dogs, especially long haired dogs (Great Pyrenees, St. Bernards, Newfoundlands, ect.) a bath in the winter.
First it takes an extremely long time for these long haired dogs to dry and you do not want to send them out still wet. Also, i don't know about you, but the place I have to wash my dogs is outside, i do not have a place big enough inside to wash such large dogs without it being a huge mess and struggle. You never want to wash a dog outside because first you don't want them getting too cold and getting sick and secondly you don't want too get too cold. I always wait until its around 70 degrees outside before I wash my dogs outside.
Secondly, these long haired dogs that are designed and bred to be out in the extremely cold temperatures develop a layer of cutin on there fur. This helps deflect water and cold so that their skin is protected from the cold and rain. If you give them a bath, the soap can wash away the cutting and leave the hair and skin unprotected, making your dog more susceptible to the cold.
SO wait until spring to get your outside dogs all squeaky clean.

Chole
Chole is one of our Great Pyrenees. She is 5 years old and is our main dam. She is sweet and will do just about anything for a belly rub.
She is extremely active and loving. She has had a total of 3 litter and will have her fourth in the spring. She is a fabulous mother, she does almost everything, we have to intervene very little with her pups in the early stages.

September's Tip of the Month
This is the month where you need to deworm your goats. There are several ways you can do this.
One way to tell is their fur will be messy and they will be itching constantly.
You are also supposed to deworm a goat so often to prevent serious parasites.
TIP: on most dewormers you need to do 2 worming, usually 30 days after the first. This will change depending on the wormer you choose.
- The pellet form this form is what we use on our disabled kid, it is safer then the shot to younger kids. The pellets go by weight. This method is less expensive, but not always the most effective, because of spills and other reasons.
- The shot this form is more effective especially for mature goats. It also goes by weight (.5 CC per 10 pounds). This is the more expensive choice, but from personal experience you will get what you want from it.

August's Tip of the Month
Have some weeds on you property that you don't want and have goats?
I have the solution. Weight your goats out there.
Get a weight then get a fairly long chain and hook one end to the weight and then the other end can be hooked to your goat. This way the goat can not run off.
For safety precautions take some pipe or metal and run the chain through it, this way the goat won't get tangled in the chain, and neither will your legs.
This was Boulder Pond Ranch's tip of the month. Thank you for reading!

Juliet
Juliet is a one year old boer goat doe, she was one of our other doe's first kidding, so she is not breed able because of her size.
There are many goos things about Juliet, she is very friendly, is used to dogs, is hot wire trained, and is a good weeder. Even though she won't expand your herd she will still be a good addition.
Asking $25
If you are interested please email me at celestelangley18@outlook.com
