Hunt Country Pets' Page

If you have visited the farm and winery over the past few years, we hope you met Gus (at left).  Gus is a Bernese Mountain Dog (or just "Berner"), a wonderful old Swiss breed descended from the Newfoundland and Great Pyrenees.  Gus is our Official Greeter and he loves his job unconditionally.  He is eight years old, and a sweeter dog there just can't be.

    Molly, the Great Dane of Jonathan Hunt and his wife Caroline, is now a year and a half and 125 pounds, but still a happy rollicking puppy with absolutely no idea how big she really is.  Mouse, their 9-pound Rat Terrier, is more focused on the possibility of a rodent escaping his watch than on his giant, younger “sister” (see above right). 
    Misty (below right) loves her rides with Joyce.  Gus enjoys trotting alongside the "girls".  Natalie (at left) has turned 16, and she's still a dedicated "mouser"!

     We have a cast of guest stars at the winery, too.  Marketing manager Jim Alsina's Standard Poodle puppy Freddy comes to the winery occasionally to rough-house with Molly until they both collapse in exhaustion.  

Our animals are so much a part of the tradition of our family and of the farm.  It's hard to express the joy they bring us.
