Mash Potatoes aka Mash or Mashy is my 14 year old Akbash, Maremma cross from my home province of Ontario. She was bred from a line of herd defenders and predator crushers.

These days she enjoys a cushy life far from farms or herds but if you ever hear any overpowering barking in my background, then you've heard Mash in her part time home alarm system role. She's a big sucky love beast these days and in her twilight years she's treated as royalty, just as she deserves.

Josephine aka Jo or Jojo is my 6 year old Blue Heeler (Australian Cattle Dog) from a ranch in Northern Alberta. She comes from a line of cattle herding beasts and has a work ethic like no other.

Jo requires ALL the physical and mental stimulation that you can imagine, you'll see her appear on stream from time to time so always watch for an elusive Jo sighting. The young blood in the house, if you ever hear any great crashes or thuds in the background then that's just Jo doing a mischief.
