Bear Dog Farm, Incorporated is located in Barrington, Illinois and is owned and operated by Lee & Cindy Piekarz. We provide agricultural conservation education on Rare and Endangered American Livestock as recognized by the American Livestock Breeds Conservancy.
On July 23 we sadly said goodbye to our sweet stallion Studly. His life was a spectacular one, fully lived and loved for 35 years on this earth. He stood proud until his last moments with us and we so very much appreciate the care and respect given him by Dr. Walt Dalitsch. A gentle soul who helped us see what we had to do. We have been given strength and encouragement to continue what we do by friends that arrived with perfect timing. In their own personal loss, Mickey and Gordy Powers showed us that being with our loved ones when they take God's hand, is right where we needed to be. Sympathy and most importantly empathy from Sheridan and Arnold Cernik at a time we needed it most and in giving us the courage to do what was best for him. New hope and new loves from Donna and Bill Howarth. Dawn Keller for reminding us this is not about us, but about the animals. And Isabella who shared JP with us & helped us to smile again. We thank each of you for giving of your heart.
