About Us
Meet the Oberg family!
We are such a great team and work on our beautiful 50 acre farm in Northwestern Alabama together. We have three wonderful children who love animals. On our farm we have alpine goats, horses, sheep, maine coons, and dogs. It's the life I have always dreamed of. We devote our lives to our animals. My husband is such a great support to me and wants to help in anyway he can. We have so many big dreams for our family and farm.
Please follow us on social media to stay up to date on all of our adventures.
Our Kennel
ArOooOOO....My Basset Hounds LOVE their kennel.
The panels are made of powder coated metal with no sharp edges to keep them safe. I use clean fresh straw for ground cover. It is easy on their sensitive joints and makes the entire kennel a comfortable lounging area. They have plenty of room to run and play. Keep scrolling to check out the houses my dad built for them!

My dad has built me the BEST dog houses I have EVER seen!!!
My family lives by the motto, "I can live without nessesities, if I can have a few luxuries" Obviously it carried over into our dog house buildings. My dogs didn't really "need" a 6 bedroom dog house, but we let our imaginations get carried away. So here it is. Last October in 2014, the construction started. Hours and hours we just sat and talked and decided what our goals were. I wanted to be able to give the dogs options. Sometimes they need their own little space. My dogs also LOVE ramps. They can't have stairs because its hard on their joints.

Our first two-story dog house. The beginning of our old western town!
Originally we planned to have a single story dog house with a false front. As we started building, we decided it wouldn't be hard to double the space by creating a second floor, which would require a ramp. It was a little tricky to determine the slope and width so the hounds could make it upstairs without being too steep or crowded. It turned out adorable! A great practice before the Saloon.
The Hick House

 Rawley "helping" dad |
Originally built for dads Black and Tan Coonhound. Currently used as a puppy playhouse.
Dad built this when his Coonhound "Rawley" was just a puppy. Mom requested that we didn't have dogs in the house from the beginning of their marriage. So to respect moms wishes, dad began this project. The Little Hick House. It was all finished, the most adorable "dog house" in town. To humor mom, he encouraged Rawley to hang out near it during the day. It worked for a couple hours...Until we heard his call....AroOOoOOo.....So he is a human house dog. Rawley hasn't slept one night in it!! He fondly looks at it from his bed in the living room. Now its only used for an outdoor play area where our puppies can go inside and take their naps.
Puppy Nursery
Our puppies are raised in our home with our family.
My Husband built this incredible pen for the puppies when they are at weaning age. We want our puppies raised off the ground prior to being fully vaccinated. In the South there is all sorts of danger in the soil and we take extra caution to keep our puppies healthy and safe. This system allows the puppies to play, free feed, potty, and stay clean. As you can see, pine bedding is put on the plastic under the pen to collect urine and stool. We mop the top regularly and change out the shavings underneath. The bedding and toys are laundered daily as well. This system has worked wonderful for us and helps us monitor the puppies even better than if the puppies are on the floor.
