- Boxing Quarantine;
- A "recreational" with 4 acres planted to move freely;
- Care of Hygiene and Disinfection daily;

Our dogs run, jump, play and live ... free and healthy!
They are part of our family and share with us all the
spaces ... to the pool!
We also have horses an our dogs live not only with each other but
also with other species, in perfect harmony, situation
that instills good habits of sociability.
Our main concern, the dogs! Our main
commitment is to them!
Despite our location, the torrid Alentejo, the Estrela
mountain dog are perfectly acclimatised. they have plenty of
shade and water. Refuge during the day, despite
constantly vigilant, and it is at night that are more
active and alert. However, it is undoubtedly the winter
they feel "like a fish in water". They love to jump into
the water, even when temperatures are freezing and
despite the warmth of their homes, they prefer to laze
around in the rain. In summer, failing that, place
strategically around the sprinklers and wait for hours
watering and there are delighted to receive his
"particular rain"!
The Setters, if we allowed, spent their days in search
of their prey, chasing hares, partridges and quail that
inhabit wild, in our land. Spend their days agile and
active, being able to run without stopping for hours.
The only break they do is to dive into the water of the
horses, or even in our pool!
For these two breeds have such different habits, is
sharing the farm, without conflicts. None of our dogs
feel the need to compete and
together form a team without equal!
