My family has had a passion for these little dogs for as long as I can remember! Born and raised in Co. Dublin. I am the only one here in America and so we travel home annually to Ireland. My family now live in Co.Wicklow, the garden of Ireland. I have extended family in Dublin and out West.   My love for animals, in particular dogs, has been life long and has brought me endless joy.  I drove my parents mad dragging home stray dogs and other 4 legged animals. But it was a wonderful time and in an attempt to recreate much of what I enjoyed, as a child, Madra Beag Farm began.   We have our lovely little Jacks, a few other wonderful farm dogs, Nigerian dwarf goats, miniature horses and colorful assortment of hens.   The animals are hardwork and require plenty of attention but the benefits and goodness that we enjoy from them far outweigh the work.   It is lovely here in Maine, we live a half mile from the beach, yet we enjoy our privacy nestled down our driveway tucked away in the woods.   All 3 of my children seem to have inherited a love of animals, from their Mother! I think it is a wonderful life, hopefully they agree!
