Buckeye Reds
Other Critters @ Crains Run Ranch
In addition to our Buckeye Chickens and Tennessee Fainting Goats we have several other critters that call Crains Run Ranch home! In 2007, we purchased a Livestock Guardian Dog, named Bandit. He is a Great Pyrenees and the jury is still out regarding his "greatness" or ability to "guard" our Goats & Chickens....but he does a good job protecting our ducks!
Our oldest dog, Casper, passed away at the ripe old age of 15 in September 2010 from a congestive heart problem, old age or a broken heart we just don't know for certain. He was a Jack Russell "Terrorist" and disliked both squirrels and rabbits, didn't care much for cats either! In the summer of 2006, he learned he could swim and frequently toke a dip in our pond....he used to love eating the floating duck food at feeding time, too. He was preceeded in death by his favorite "Grandpa" just a few days prior to his own passing and we're certain they both are waiting for us in HEAVEN.
CRR is also home to "Mr. Peaches" a Paint Quarter Horse who spends most of his time at the "Stables on Gillen Lane". Mister "P", as he is often called, is very competitive at local hunter/jumper shows and has many blue ribbons to his credit! His owner, our daughter, is a very accomplished rider herself and is training Mister "P" along with another horse named Jet that will be shown and sold in 2012. If you need a good "Jumper" for an experienced rider send us an email.
