LE MANOIR DES MESSALINES

le MANOIR des MESSALINES

In the heart of the PAYS d' AUGE cradle of the trotter horse among the fields and apples trees, " Le Manoir des Messalines " selects exclusively Yorkshire Terriers since 1980.

Maschievous and dynamic, the yorks share their field with mini-horses, two small she-asses, a goat, geese and other exotic birds.

An " Arch of Noah " for the ones, a small paradise for others.

With the turning of each bush, the glance is posed on animals of any kind and the house is made sometimes the echo of yaps of welcome to greet the visitors.

 

PARADISE ON EARTH

Mon PARADIS sur TERRE

Located in low Normandy, in the Calvados, on the national road number thirteen ( R.N13), between " CAEN " et " LISIEUX ", to 25 kms of Cabourg and 53 of Deauville.

In the year 1986, we chose to install on this old farm, because our project implied space, distance, nature and tranquility, essential conditions for the presence of farm animals, also as the developpement of my breeding of Yorkshires burrws founded in 1980.

During a few years, we arranged these places, moved by the need for proposing to all of our animals, a space at their measure, ourselves filled with rustic and rural happiness.

We could see being born adorable miniature foals ( 80 kgs ), vigourous small Vietnamese piglets, some timid lambs hidden behind their mother, or exotic fledings, some glosing and chicks...and of course, all our babies Yorkshires whose births always cause, in spite of the time witch passes, amazement of the first days.....

OUR GUARDS, OUR LOVELY MASTIFFS

NOS GARDIENS !....LES DOGUES......

Raising only one single race, of small size, I'm since always fascinated by molosses !

During fifteen years, we had been well kept by " Neapolitan Mastiffs " in couples, the female always sterilized to facilitate the commune life.

We chose for a few years to protect the breeding by two German Mastiffs, less sensible to the moisture of our beautiful Normandy. In spite of their power, the natural kindness of the this giant race, makes it possible to be better integrated among our animals, than the " Neapolitan Mastiffs " more " crude " of character guards by instinct, they can determine by instinct, they can determine with wisdom the behaviour thaht is appropriate, evaluating the intruders...... with a presence that is reassuring at every moment.

V' LINA, our female, posed and mature, supervises our surroundings, while BACCHUS, eleven months old, invests himself more readily in plays benefitting briskly from its privileged statute of big baby.....except in the car, where it starts to growl.

They appreciate the escapades on our fields, and benefit to confirm the limits of their territory marking their odor and to mean with the foxes or wandering dogs that a well kept ground is always supervisited.

They sometimes have fun to simulate a game with their herbivorous friends, who careful by nature, prefer to deviate from these stirving up molosses, whose the fear the not very very courteous attitude.

In the presence of the yorkshire Terriers, the colosses reveal kindness and boundless patience, and accept these small pieces of dogs, intrepid and jokers.

The external parts of the house would lose indoubtly their soul....without them !

En hommage à nos MÂTINS de NAPLES, qui me manquent tant !.....

MINI-HORSES

LES  MINIS - CHEVAUX

At some steps in front of the house, our field welcomes mini- horses and two small she asses.

We appreciate the proximity of these places, allowing us to care more easily on the welbeing of our friends, to distribute without coumpting caresses and benefitting as well possible their presence.

I always loved the horses, their so particular odor, the contact of their heat and the sofness of their glossy dress.

Their power fascinates me and the balance of my relation with them, as with my other animals, recalls me that the mutual respect remains the first condition of our exchanges.

I sometimes sit down on the grass, among them, waiting for their curious approach, untill I feel their breath over me, subtle exchange of a feeling of sheared confidence, one moment of pure happiness, so simply !

THE SMALL SHE-ASSES

LES PETITES  ÂNESSES

Small and very soft, mother and daughter, are living happy days dividing the company of mini-horses, that it sometimes happens to them, to find a little too much stirring up with their taste.

They appreciate more the grazing ground in the calm, they ballads around the field, awaiting patiently our visits, moment of the caresses and delicacies.

THE POULTRY YARD

LA BASSE-COUR

The liveliest corner of our farm is without doubt, the poultry yard !
Colourful and noisy, it contains some hens, cocks, geese, dwarf goasts and a vietnamese sow born here 15 years ago.
Here the goats frisk about seeking attention and some treats.
A mother hen proudly fusses over her brood of chikens, peeking here and there.

BIRDS of the BIRDCAGE

LES  OISEAUX  de  VOLIERE

It would have missed something, without the presence of the birds.
An external birdcage was thus arranged !
An access toward the interior enables them to shelter comfortably in the event of wind or the night, against moisture and the cold. This sizeable space by its dimensions allows them continuations in full flight and small territories was formed, making the stake of sound arguments, for the claim of the nests !
