Greetings Animal Lovers,
I am happy to report that all is well with us. Although some of my plans did not come to fruition; others did. So, you do not want to miss this new edition of my Autumn-Argus Farm newsletter for Summer 2008!
The economy has taken a toll on animal lovers throughout the country. Many families are forced to down-size and, sadly, they are giving up their animals in record numbers. I have taken back several animals placed years ago in order to help out. One of these great rescues included Trevi and Gucci, the mother of our very own Mae Kwest!
I am happy to report that we are successfully placing some of our retired animals and a few spayed or neutered juveniles. Our goal is to place our animals with good homes, and to that end, my husband drove 1000 miles round trip to meet with one family because of high temperatures!
Fingers crossed, I am excited to post that Seams-A-Willow, my Peron trakehner mare, is bred to Silverwood Farms' Hall of Fame. So we are looking for a real nice brown and white tabiano next Spring. I will certainly keep everyone posted on her progress!
As I have mentioned before, I love animals. Having owned, bred and worked with them all my life, I find that I too am cutting back to spend more time with my core group of little friends and family. Therefore, I am offering some older animals at greatly reduced prices to the right homes as pets only. Call me to discuss a great addition to your family at a great price for the right home.
We are very proud to show our animals to qualified homes. So check out some great offerings on our lovely Sphynx cats, our energetic and loyal Chinese Crested dogs or our gorgeous Warmblood horses and pick out your next best friend! Remember, we can ship by air from Las Vegas International or by ground. Call me for what I have not put up on the website just yet, what we do have listed as available or just to chat about any of our animals or yours.

Warmblood Horses
An equestrian's horse!
A delightful Ride!
Looking for a horse that can do everything you ask? Do you desire a bold mover with a natural gait and headset? How about a horse that gets along with everyone and is an easy keeper with a wonderful ride? Seeking the talent to do anything you might contemplate? We have that horse!
The horse we are offering always shows a willingness to please — clips, hauls, cross ties, has no vices, and has a well established and commanding style. This offering loves to show off his moves and is sure to catch everyone's eye. See if he catches yours.
We continue to receive tremendous local, national and international support for your pictures. Here's our selected winners you sent in to share with us — click on them for a larger picture:

We need to help our friends. Unfortunately, the rash of home foreclosures and our economic downturn has many families facing tough downsizing decisions. Some of these hard decisions involve heart breaking placement of family pets. I rescued two Rottweilers and recovered several previously placed pets due to the conditions they were forced to endure. I have even taken back animals placed years ago to help families in distress. It is tough times for many and if we can help out we will do our best!
Several of our clients have come back and increased their family size with another edition. They take their dogs to all sorts of award winning events and just have a ball. Some even have their own web pages on YouTube. This email from our friend Amy, that has three of our dogs, just cracked me up. "We took all 3 to Pet-A-Palooza a few weeks back at UNLV and we all had such a good day! Poppy won "Ugliest Dog" and got a trophy, which advanced her to the Mr. and Ms. Pet-A-Palooza and guess what? She is the new reigning "Ms Pet-A-Palooza 2008" with a trophy, gift certificates, DIAMOND and PINK SHAPER dog charm for her collar and a watch for me! Wow, what a day. She even got her photo taken with Gavin DeGraw — some rock star! I tell you what — these little guys have been the best addition to our family. Thank you for having such wonderful dogs."You have to love Crested dog lovers and these two really love their dogs. Go Amy!
Lisa contacted me some time ago and was deeply attracted to our chinese crested dogs. After several discussions and some additional photos, she selected a young neutered male named Dr. Pepper. Well this was a great choice and seemed a good match for Pepper. He would have buddies and a family to love him. The high temperatures forced us to ground transportation. My husband drove all day to meet Lisa halfway. The family was happy, but Pepper was not entirely sure of the deal. He bonded with Lisa right off, but it has taken time for him to accept all the family members. Lisa was about to exchange him, when apparently Pepper read her email and decided the grass is greener where he lay now. So he did a turn around and seems to be just fine. We will track his progress and work with Lisa to ensure a happy match. For now all is well and Pepper likes his new digs. Go Pepper!
Our lovely desert animals continue to amaze me. I love placing a new critter here for everyone to enjoy. Again, most of you know we not only have the Sphynx cats, Warmblood horses and Chinese Crested dogs that we breed and offer to the public, but we also have barn cats, rescued dogs, pot belly pigs, chickens, peacocks, koi and other critters that we enjoy everyday. Along with our eclectic group we have wild animals that seem to thrive here as well. This edition I wish to show off our beautiful cactus flowers. Home to our chipmonks, you only get a short season to photograpgh this desert beauty! We also have chipmunks (pictured below), plenty of quail, a coyote of course, a billion rabbits and wild birds of every shape and fashion. Life is good!
In case you are new to our website and reside outside the USA, we welcome your visit, any pictures and comments, but we no longer do shipments outside the continental United States. The requirements are just too much to deal with and when a client changes their mind or falls off the radar so-to-speak, it causes me to be stuck with an animal that is now older and more difficult to place. If you are overseas and wish one of our little friends, do as others have and look into an agent to pick up your animal from us here. Your agent can get all the tests, microships, quarantines and whatnot per your country requirements and ship your new friend as soon as it is possible. I am older now and prefer concentrating on my animals here and will be happy to show anyone our selection or ship anywhere in the USA!
Keep caring for your animals and remember good health for our pets is our responsibility. Everyone loves to be loved. A pet is a comfort, a joy and a buddy forever. Consider what joy a new pet can bring into your life or that of someone you love. Call or email us now to bring happiness home!
Thanks for all your support. I hope you continue to come back and enjoy our site and most especially, our animals. They are the stars of our show!
