My
name is Grace Parrott and I manage Parrott Ranch here in Lakeside, California.
We have over 5 acres and this is a home to chickens, cats, horses, birds, and
(of course) our precious Bernese Mountain Dogs and Pembroke Welsh Corgis.

We love all of our animals and believe that they return the love that we give to
them. We provide them with the very best of everything. Our puppies are
born here at the ranch and are raised with plenty of socialization. In addition
to our friends and family, all of our puppies become friends with an assortment
of different animals. We treasure each one as being the very best of our blood
lines. They are truly a gift from God!
We are hobby breeders, so may not have a litter of puppies available when you
are looking for a puppy. We ensure that we do not over-breed our dogs, so there
are also a few of our "retired" family members here on the ranch with us.
We have a very difficult time "adopting" our adult retired dogs.
Especially when they are just what they are. We never let one go that
perhaps might have any problems. This is the reason for us not adopting
out very many dogs.
We lost our precious Fred on Memorial Day this year. He developed bloat
and his stomach turned. I cried all the way home and I still miss him when
I go outside. We lost our Gracie and Irish this past year and all of our dogs are
aging like we are. Even though we have bred dogs since 1980 it never stops the
learning process and the devotion to our animals. We get to cry with you when
they are born and when we loss one we also share a shoulder for which to cry on.
It does not get easier with time but only God knows what life will send our way.

The relationship between dogs and humans is the closest and longest-lasting
relationship between two species in all of human history - at least 16,000
years. It has taken many forms with selective breeding and husbandry have always
played a part in that role AB-702 attempts to turn this relationship into
a hard core business. Breeding dogs is part of a chosen life style and is done
to improve the health and well being of a particular breed. What is with the
world anymore.
As if we don't have enough health issues here at this time. I am too
mean to be ill right now. I need my other hip replaced but it is going to
have to wait for a time. Ron has congestive heart failure and COPD and is
on oxygen all of the time now. So staying home is fine for me. Just wish life
was easier. We have been placing some of my corgis in order to cut way
back. Tomorrow is another day.
