About Us
Thank you for visiting Prairie Sighthounds. Here is some background info on me, PrairieWolf Jones and how I came to fall in love with this wonderful breed.
I started my life with Ibizans back in 1994 with 2 smooth coats, a brother and sister who you can see in my photos section. They got me hooked on the wonderful world of Ibizan Hounds and their activities. I have shown in conformation, as well as having participated in both AKC & ASFA lure coursing trials. I have trained for competition obedience, but have never entered a real competition. I took a break from lure coursing and hope to get back into it again, as I miss it and it is breathtaking to watch a hunting hound perform in the field. I hope to try agility with my current Ibizans as well. I now own 1 full wire bitch, and 2 of her offspring a broken coat male & a broken coat female. These 3 Ibizans will be the basis of my breedings. All my breeding stock must have good temperaments & have passed their OFA, eyes, BAER & thyroid tests.
I feed ALL my dogs the B.A.R.F diet. BARF is an acronym for Bones And Raw Foods or Biologically Appropriate Raw Foods. I do not believe that our beloved companions were meant to eat extruded non human grade "waste" in a bag. I try to feed my dogs a diet more like they would get if they were in the wild. I also prefer to treat problems more holistically & naturally as possible. Nowadays with pet cancers, skin problems, temperament problems, diabetes etc., the "cure" seems to be worse than the disease with long lists of horrible side effects in perscription medications.
Many problems that are seen today in vet clinic's all over the world can be cured simply by feeding a species appropriate diet ie: the BARF diet. Please feel free to browse the great links on BARF & holistic info I have on my main page. There you will see why I no longer feed commercial kibble or give vaccinations. From now on I prefer to give homeopathic nosodes and or use titer tests to make sure I am not over vaccinating. Over vaccinating I feel can lead to major health problems and many vets and vet collages are now realizing this.
