Horizon Labradors

Ricky, Tammy & Derrick Boleman

Ricky & I have been married for 23 years, we have one son, Derrick.  He is 19 years old and graduated from Franklin County High School 2009.  We own 60 acres of land in Hart County, Georgia.  We built our poultry farm in 1999, at that time we owned Meg.  Meg is the reason we fell in love with the labrador retriever breed.  She is such a wonderful dog, a great swimmer, retriever, and she is my husband's best friend.  She has the best temperment anyone could ask for.  Meg was the mother to our very first litter of labs.  We enjoyed the puppies so much that we kept Sparks from that litter.  Libby came shortly after.  Meg is 11 years old and retired now.  She will always hold a special place in our hearts.

Taking care of my dogs and raising my puppies is my true passion.  I do work at the chicken house where you will find 6 or more dogs with me everyday.  They enjoy going to work, eating the broke eggs is their job.  And I enjoy the company of having them with me.  After a hard day of working we usually end it at the pond where the dogs go for a swim, retrieve sticks in the water, or hunt fish & frogs under the dock.

  These are our chicken houses.

Here is the inside of one of the chicken houses, there are over 10,000 hens & about 800 roosters in here, the house is 450 feet long.  The chickens stay with us for about 10 months.  The eggs are hatching eggs, they are picked up 2 times a week & taken to a hatchery in Athens, Ga to be hatched and the chicks are taken to a broiler farm to be raised out.  We gather close to 9,000 eggs a day in each house.

This is our pond that we enjoy so much. 

This is a picture of Benelli, Lucy & Sparks relaxing by the pond watching the float.  It's one of their favorite things to do.

This is a picture of Lucy, Libby, Sparks, Benelli all in the back of my husband's work truck.  They enjoy riding around the farm.

  This is Conrad, we are very proud of him, he is a trained Search & Rescue dog that lives in Fannin County.  He has been successful on numerous occassions.  He has found an alzheimer patient who had wondered away from his home and would have died if Conrad had not found him.  He has helped the police track down a burglar also.  Richard takes him to the schools to teach safety.  He is an awesome dog.  Thanks to Richard & Brenda for keeping us updated on him.

  This is Amy, she belongs to our son, Derrick.  He has trained her to duck hunt using the waterdog video.  Ricky & Derrick take her duck hunting on our land & she loves it, she will go in the water & retrieve those ducks even in 20 degree weather.  Labs are amazing.  We are very pleased with her progress.  She is Kodiak's daughter.
