| ABOUT OUR FAMILY AFFAIR |
We are a family owned and run business. My parents have been in the ranching
business for over 50 years in the Texas Hill Country. Their parents, grandparents,
etc. were also ranchers. The Martin family was one of the first families to settle in
the Mason County area. The family business sits on the property where Dad was
born and raised. The barn used for whelping etc is the original barn his family
used in the Angora goat business for several years. It might not be the prettiest
thing you have ever seen but it is clean and serves it's purpose!!
Mom and Dad have three children who were born and raised in the Hill Country.
The oldest daughter lives in Oklahoma and is a State Child Care Worker. They
also have a son who lives in College Station and is an Equine Chiropractor. I have
recently moved to the ranch from Oklahoma where I worked in the finance
profession. I moved back home to join Mom in dog raising. All the grandkids
participate at one time or another in the business as they spend time with Granny
and Papa during the summer. My children participate daily with chores and playing
or socializing with the puppies. Most of the puppies we sell will be well suited for
the entire family. However, we believe that Bichons are great for the Grannies
and Papas of the world!!
This is really a Family Affair since we all have different kinds of dogs we raise.
Dad loves Golden Retrievers. The love of Mom's life are Bichons and Westies. My
husband and I raise Scottish Terriers.We like Scotties due to their loyalty to one
person. (and we wanted one like President Bush)!! Laura Bush once said on
Oprah, "When you have a Scottish Terrier, they love you with all their heart and
soul so you have to love them just the same back." It is our opinion you can sell
what you like therefore, we have deversified our dogs into what we enjoy and love.
All of our adult dogs are raised in big pens (not cages) with access to food and
water 24 hours a day. During the summer, all the dogs have a misting system over
their pens to help keep them cool. We treat each and every one of our dogs like
they are our children. We feel that one of the most important things we do is NOT
putting a dog down after it's breeding life is over. We have a pen for our "old
folks" where they live and receive medical care until a natural death occurs. We
are not just breeders, but people who love each and every one of our dogs.
