Gracie Acres Homestead: Farmyard Friends

Daisy Mae

Daisy Mae is our gorgeous German Shepherd girl. She is a fierce protector of our home and family, while also being such a sweet, loving dog to us. Nobody gets past the watchful eye of Daisy Mae, which makes all of us feel so much more secure. She's an integral part of our family as well as the demo dog for my dog training business. We love her dearly!

Doug

Meet Douglas, our incredible Maremma Livestock Guardian Dog! He takes his job as the goats' personal bodyguard very seriously, keeping a watchful eye on his herd day and night. While he's all business when it comes to protecting his farm, he's the sweetest, most gentle giant with us. We couldn’t ask for a better guardian and farm companion.

Osita

Osita was born in September 2025 and is a Maremma/Anatolian Shepherd cross. She is in training to be dual purpose, guarding the livestock as well as the house and family. Osita is incredibly sweet, calm, and gentle, with a quiet confidence that makes her a natural protector—and she’s just as beautiful on the inside as she is on the outside. We can’t wait to watch her grow up and reach her full potential.

Roo

Roo is an older breeding buck who has come to spend his retirement with us. He lives in with the younger bucks to keep them in line and teach them how to behave. He's a beautiful boy that is so sweet. We are so glad to have him here!

Sparky

Sparky is our Nigerian Dwarf wether. He is Bad Ann's brother and they really like to get into mischief together! He is a beautiful rich brown with moonspots and lots of white splashes along with bright blue eyes! He is a feisty guy that gets into lots of trouble. He just loves to nibble on us while looking as cute as can be! But honestly he is way too cute to stay mad at!

Our Chickens

We have a wonderful barnyard mix of chickens that are ever changing as far as number and breeds! They free range all over, keeping weeds and bugs down. They are a friendly bunch and so much fun to watch. They also provide the most delicious eggs!

Our Muscovy Ducks

We have a few Muscovy ducks that are mainly just for fun. We enjoy watching them waddle around, they eat flies, and the dogs love their eggs! They are very unique looking creatures!
