Whisper in the Woods

Last but not least, a site dear to our hearts for rescued dogs! Our mascot Teddy is a Wire Hair Fox Terrier. These dogs love the land. This link is in memory of Schoike, a dear Wire Hair Fox Terrier who passed away who loved to hike the fields and forests with his proud owner, LandChoices' founder Kirt Manecke.
