The Prancing Pony Farm Newsletter

Hello Reader,

Happy New Year! I know it’s a bit late, but things have been busy here at Prancing Pony Farm, especially over the holidays. But I wanted to update everyone on what’s been going on recently and what’s coming up for 2024. There’s lots to tell, but I will just hit the highlights. Otherwise, this could go on forever. 😆

Farm Updates

KPA Professional Program Update

I have officially passed the halfway point in the KPA DTP program! I am in unit 3 of the 4-unit program. Things are getting intense! I am learning advanced dog training skills, which will significantly benefit my Maremma clients in the future.

PennHip, OFA & DNA Testing

After years of waiting patiently, my wonderful farm vet finally became certified this month to do both PennHip & OFA dog exams! Soon, all PPF Maremmas will be PennHIP, OFA (hips & elbows), and DNA tested!

Taking Reservations for 2024 Maremma Puppies!

Once Professionals is over, I will have lots of time to devote to training puppies and a lot of new skills to practice with them. Our 2024 Maremmas should be our best puppies yet! Go to our website for more info if you’re looking for a fantastic Maremma puppy or juvenile or adult dog.

That’s all I have for now. I’m sorry I haven’t been able to send emails or post to the blog as frequently as I’d like. The KPA DTP Program has been so intense that I have to stay focused to keep on track so I will graduate on time. But rest assured that once I finish that, I will get back to writing helpful Maremma training and dairy goat care articles more consistently. And what I am learning in the program will help me serve LGD owners everywhere, so stay tuned!

I love hearing from my subscribers. Let me know if you have any questions about Maremma Sheepdogs or dairy goats or if you have anything you’d like to share.

Just hit reply to this e-mail and say hello!

Kim
