Need all the good thoughts for sweet Taffy as she goes in for rounds 2 & 3 of heartworm treatment today.

She is now listed as available for adoption on the Rescue Rebels by Cash 4 Canines Inc website! She’s a truly sweet and energetic young girl who loves snuggling on the sofa and chasing a ball.

Following this treatment, she will need to stay on restricted activity for about a month, but then should be heartworm free, and is spayed and up to date on her vaccines. She’s ready to go to her fur-ever family.

PSA - chickens dumped at our farm will be immediately culled upon discovery.

In other news, we are under a 30 day quarantine since someone dumped a stray rooster with obvious respiratory symptoms on our farm. He was immediately dispatched but I am praying that my flock was not infected.

Here is our visitor/foster who will be available through Rescue Rebels by Cash 4 Canines Inc. we have just been calling her ”Pup Pup” so we don’t get too attached😆. She is a sweet thing but very active and needs a home that will allow for an active lifestyle and can continue to work on manners. There are ducks and chickens in the background of the first two photos. She does not care.

It’s popcorn time for Scouts! Remember, you aren’t buying a $15-$25 bag of popcorn, you are supporting Harrison in his Scouting journey (and getting a bag of popcorn as a bonus!). Harrison is about to earn his Life rank, the last one before Eagle.

He appreciates any support you can provide and thank you for supporting all the boys and girls in Scouts BSA.

Good 90 day check for Ophelia, and check up for ”Clark” (Times Square FD). Both needed a bath after the trailer ride!

It was somewhat bittersweet. She is in foal to Don Quichot for a 2024 full sibling to Clark. This will be my last DQ baby because he passed away yesterday. Four of his sons and daughters call Flydog Farm their home right now. I love what he produced, and it’s a little sad to know that there will only be one more for me.

Pancake was not interested in sharing his banana with his new roommate.

05/03/2023

We have been very busy with foaling season and have three beautiful babies available!

Talina FD - “Tilly” KWPN - NA filly, born 3/31/23. Don Quichot x Zilina - Top quality jumper prospect. Zilina is a proven Grand Prix producer, and had a 1.45 career herself. Don Quichot is bred for the jumper ring and jumped to 1.35 before being trained to the Grand Prix level in dressage.

River City FD - “River” Studbook SBS c**t, born 5/1/23 - This is a MASSIVE boy sired by upcoming dressage stallion, Finnick TGS, out of our foundation mare, Galiba. He is expected to mature well over 17 hands, a lovely dark bay to black c**t who should bring his parents beautiful movement to the dressage or hunter/equitation ring.

Time Square FD - “Clark” KWPN-NA c**t, born 5/2/23. Clark is just beautiful with his four matching socks and large Star, and he has the sweetest personality to go with it. Sired by the multi talented Don Quichot (Grand Prix dressage after 1.35 jumper career) out of Overtime Goal, an old style TB mare who is linebred to In Reality (3 crosses). This one should excel as an event horse or hunter.

04/04/2023

Welcome home, Talina FD! This large KWPN filly was born Friday night. She’s sired by Don Quichot out of 1.45 jumper, Zilina.

These are straight run (unsexed) and are primarily blue. The females will lay blue eggs. These are NOT Easter Eggers.

Lots of requests for chickens and chicks lately. A few reminders.

1. We are by appointment only.
2. We rarely have adult hens for sale
3. Currently my chicks are presold before they’re hatched.

We have hatching eggs with a very short wait and can put you on the waitlist for chicks, but wait times are about three days to a week for eggs and a month for chicks.

WiFi is out so it’s family game night.

. Exciting news! Scout is sold, and now he is called Snooze. Eventually he will be an event horse with Kat Abrams, however he is staying here to grow up and we got a filly by the same sire who will eventually be a brood mare. He looks very similar to his “sister” Seraphina P. She is also sired by Don Quichot out of a Lord Leatherdale x Negro mare.

Flydog Farm had decided to scale back our chicken program. Moving forward we will ONLY be concentrating on our standard bred Light Sussex chickens.

As a result, we will be dispersing our entire flocks of Ameraucanas (black, BBS and Silver) and Wheaten Marans. Preference given to buyers Interested in a flock Including roosters, but will have a few singles available.

NPIP, local pickup only In Deland FL

Flydog Farm is thrilled to congratulate Kathleen Abrhams on the purchase of Quiet Hour FD, who we have been calling Scout, but will be known as Snooze!

Kat is a Thorougbred Incentive Program youth ambassador with her TB gelding, Spintastic (Cody), Eventing at the Modified level. She plans to produce Snooze as an event horse under the guidance of her long time coach, Maren Foster at Waterford Eventing.

We look forward to watching this pair develop!

Had to share this, as it’s so on point!

HOW MUCH FOR A FOAL?
Let me say a few words to you, yes you, the person who sends a text to just ask for the price. The person who calls and hears the price and says “I can buy a cheaper foal somewhere else”. I'll talk to you too; the person who doesn't care about papers because I want “just a pet or a happy hacker”.
No foal is “just a pet and a happy hacker”.
Behind every foal is a BREEDER. A serious breeder does not breed foals without documents that protect the integrity of the breed.
Registration papers are records of ancestry documenting the bloodline and enabling you to investigate possible health problems in your lineage.
When you tell a breeder you don't care about the papers, just tell them you don't care about the foal’s health, you just want the cheapest thing you can find!
If you choose to buy a foal from a reputable and quality breeder, this breeder is responsible for every foal’s health.
This breeder will skip holidays, and family gatherings , miss sleep for weeks on end, and most of their personal time is dedicated to their horses and their well being. The truly passionate breeder, who loves what they breed, puts all of their time into it. Not only for foals that are sold, but also for every customer who owns a piece of their heart and is now a member of their large family. Breeders worry about their babies after leaving and want the best outcome for purchaser and foal.
A breeder will get his hands dirty, often covered in everything that comes with birth. Because that's what life is all about... in the midst of birth and death is life. For every foal that is sold there are ones that don’t make it and a little bit of the breeders heart breaks along with the foal. A breeder conducts ultrasounds, analytics, emergency vet calls, vaccinations, registrations, researches pedigrees, deworming, hoof trims and provides the base start for the future of the foal.
Last but not least, a breeder CHOOSES the family who is lucky enough to have one of their foals. Yes, you read correctly.
A real breeder chooses who they sell to.
There really is no compensation that can offset the investment a breeder has made.
A good breeder has other criteria for those who want to continue their bloodline, why? Because breeding isn't a responsibility to take lightly, it's a lifestyle choice reserved ONLY for the few devoted people willing to sacrifice.
Since a foal is never “just a pet” he/she is the legacy of the breeder, a low level eventer, an amateur show jumper, a career broodmare, the pony that wins for your son or daughter, a member of the family, someone's whole world!

Butterscotch & Scout are best friends.

06/05/2022

Scout should make an excellent sport horse for someone! He is sired by Don Quichot (Quite Easy/Ramiro) out of our very athletic Thorougbred mare, Tours Rocket.

05/14/2022

As much as we would love to keep every horse we breed, it’s just not practical. Although I am in no hurry, Scout is for sale.

I think he would truly excel as a hunter or eventer with any rider, and would make a top quality amateurs dressage or show jumping mount.

I expect him to mature sensible, athletic and pretty.

https://warmblood-sales.com/horse/quiet-hour-fd.

This price is good through weaning.

Scout was foaled in April 2022, and is sired by Belgian Warmblood Stallion, Don Quichot, out of old style Jockey Club mare, Tour’s Rocket. Don Quichot is an International dressage stallion with world-class jumping talent and bloodlines. He is the product of stellar parents: by Quite Easy out of Re...

for Galiba.

Scout is home and Butterscotch is really excited to have another foal to play with. He is for sale.

04/19/2022

Quiet Hour FD “Scout” (Don Quichot / Tour D’Or xx) c**t, to be registered Belgian Sporthorse. He should mature 16.1-16.2 and be suitable for eventers or jumpers but may have the movement for the hunters or dressage. His mother has a beautifully tidy jumping style with plenty of scope and an amazing work ethic. His fathers pedigree is a who’s who of the jumper works, although he himself competed to the Grand Prix level in dressage. His sire has a kind and gentle personality, which he is passing on to his offspring, making excellent amateur horses. Scout will be available for sale which will include board through weaning, registration, lifetime USEF registration and a microchip.

Welcome to the world! Roxy delivered a chrome covered chestnut c**t, sired by at a very respectable 7pm. She’s being a very good and very protective mother. He’s a typical boy, hungry and sleepy. If all checks out well, we hope to have them back home early next week. He will be for sale.

Duck egg Thursday was a success. We were able to give away 3 dozen thanks to the productive efficiency of Quackers and the Quacker Jacks. Keep an eye out for future duck egg give-aways. You don't want to miss a chance at some duck eggs. They are SOOOO good!!

04/02/2022

Chicken egg, duck egg, double yolk duck egg.

03/22/2022

SOLD!

My goof is your gain!! I hatched chicks from my true black AND from my BBS pen, but they ended up in the same brooder before I had a change to tag them.

I have eleven black chicks. I don’t know which pens they came from. As a result, I cannot keep them in my breeding program.

$40 takes all (blacks only, 11 chicks total) or $5 each. Straight run (males and females)

These are not Easter Eggers. These are purebred Ameraucanas from exhibition lines. They could become their own pen and would produce entirely pure black chicks. I am just unsure of the genetics so they won’t be part of MY breeding program.

Hatched 3/15. Too old to ship. Local pickup in Deland FL only. NPIP

03/22/2022

Another four flats of eggs off to the at . We have drastically reduced our laying flock but we didn’t have any egg orders for this week so we were able to carry on with our egg delivery.

03/21/2022

Buy GameFowl,Bantams,LargeFowl and StandardFowl Near Me is a scam page that steals photos from other sites. They lifted this one directly from Cackle Hatchery. Buyers beware.

The lavender Ameraucana is not a great layer. She gives me one to two beautiful blue eggs a week.

The birds from late 2020 are in the process of molting and look pretty rough. They are still laying.

Everyone has been recently dewormed with Safeguard.
