2010-08-05T23:23:00.000-07:00

We are proud to introduce our new members of our family:

(Photos coming soon)

P.J. our young little bobcat, he has been a blast to work with so far and is going to turn out as a great addition to our family.

Dora the Siberian lynx, she stalks us during a filming shoot that gives great looks toward photographers. We all love her so much.

Lucky and Suri our wolf pups. Lucky being the larger of the two has an interesting personality, we are guessing he has a very alfa wolf disposition. Both of the pups are in the process of learning to howl and bare teeth on cue.

Little Joey, our new red fox kit. She has been a blast to watch. She is the Daughter of Joey and Luigi. She has the same personality as her mom. Being that she is so easy going and happy go lucky.

Sausha the grey fox, although fast now she will soon be a great addition to our place. She is very beautifully colored. She has been a fun little girl to work with.

Quilly Bob Thorton the porcupette. He loves to hang out on our arms and is quite the character.

Plus our three youngest are our raccoons. They are some of the cutest little ones ever. When they all stick their heads out of a log or crevice the cuter it is.

Rose has turned 3 years old now and has grown into a beautiful ~370lb bear.

This year her cake consisted of fruit popsicles, mini marshmallows, cherries, whip cream, and a couple eskimo pies. We had a blast watching her tear into the cake. It sure looked like she was having a great time.

Her favorite part of her birthday was playing with the plate and the table after she was done.

What a selection of babies.

Tony

Tony was born in June of 2002. Even though he is not that old, we call him the “old man” because he’s not exactly speedy. However, Tony will give you good long poses and is a lot of fun to work with. Picture provided by Darren Charles Holloway

Meet our Red Fox

2009-03-08T11:02:00.000-07:00

Kit

Born in April of 2006, Kit is Danny’s litter mate. Kit has developed into one of our most sedate foxes. Of all our foxes, he is one of our best posers because of his slow movements which are great for portrait shots. He also has a luxurious coat that looks and feels very soft. Always a good listener and willing to please, Kit has become a favorite to our repeat photographers. Picture provided by Rod Barbee.

Jessy

Born in April of 2008, Jessy is our first and only silver fox. Still young and very friendly, she has won over our hearts. Still in training, she is quickly learning how to pose, sit, leash, and go to a mark. The proud parents are Danny and Joey, both of whom are a cherry-red color (The silver fox is just a color variation of the red fox.). She is a beautiful little girl with her black and silver fur, although sometimes difficult to photograph due to her coloring. However, with the right background, when one does get a crisp shot of her, she is amazing. Picture provided by Lee Marin.

Captain Jack

Captain Jack was born in May of 2006 and is our most spotted bobcat. Because of his coloring, his coat is well-suited as camouflage against the rocks where he almost disappears. He is also quite patient and always waits on location until he is rewarded. Everyone who photographs him is impressed with his most unique attitude, as there is never a dull moment when he’s on site. Picture provided by Rod Barbee.

Betty

Born in May of 2007, Betty is a very spunky bobcat who aims to please. It is fun and always a photographic opportunity to catch her on film as she stalks our lures. Photographers are in for a treat in the summer of 2009, as we are hoping to work with Betty and a new litter of kittens. She’ll make a great mother! Picture provided by Hal Looney.

Dane
Dane, a curious little bobcat kitten, was born in May of 2008 and, although still in basic training, has shown expertise chasing lures and smacking around his toy ball. He is also very affectionate towards everyone and wins their hearts. Picture provided by Jim Ammons.

Rose’s and Atticus’ birthday!

2009-02-22T20:20:00.000-08:00

On January 15, 2009, Rose, our grizzly, turned 2 years old. The birthday party was celebrated with a large birthday cake that she devoured almost instantly! She must have known how special she looked in her birthday hat because she never took it off during her party!

Shortly after Rose’s birthday, we celebrated Atticus’ third birthday. His cake was made of replacement milk and beef heart! Yum!! At first, he didn’t know quite what to make of it but, within minutes, dove right in, licking it until it was gone.
