![]() ![]() LW Minuette, Futurity Champion 1995 To see more of our photos, simply click on the green words or names. Hello, and welcome to Black Dog Ranch! We are a small, but wonderful place. Come and dream, ponder, and experience what I never thought would be mine... and the wonderful world of llamas! Black Dog Ranch is a dream come true. I worked for 18 years for Llama Woods Farm, and learned a great deal about my favorite creatures - llamas. We learned together from the ground up. I began working for Iris Christ when she got her first 2 geldings in 1981, and what a life changing experience it has been! Come and meet some of my "kids". I'm fortunate to have some of the legendary girls of LWF! Minuette, featured at the top of this page, is a miracle gal. Orphaned at only one month old, she became the pet of everyone on the farm. We all worked 24/7 trying to save her mom for 2 weeks before she died. Min went on to win the first Celebrity Futurity in 1995. Her daughter, Mignon, won the Futurity in 1997 and the Maturity in 2000. And now Mignon's full brother is shaping up to be the next Champ! He's a real ham already. Mignon was bought by Cindy and Bon Burgess at the 2000 Celebrity. They saw the promise, the potential, and the future when they bought her. It hurt to let her go, but it was to good folks. And believe me, no one would have bought that girl from me unless I was certain that they would be practically bowing to her. ![]() LW Strawberry Jam and LW Strawbridge LW Strawberry Jam is another legend. A great appy girl that has a super personality. I love her way too much. Even as a cria in 1989, she and her dam, Strawberry Shortcake, were among my favorites. Jam is an excellent dam and a charming character. She likes to entertain us by running with the babies, even though she is over 10 years old. She has produced Strawberry Fields (McRoberts), and Strawbridge (R. Patterson), Strawberry
Cream (me), Strawberry Bon Bon and more. If there is a Strawberry "someone", it's probably hers, or one of her grandcrias.
