ABOUT US
TheNewDog.com is a small, family run "venture". Strictly internet-based, we make our home in Windsor, CT, a suburb of Hartford. Like many who might chance upon this site, we were still new to chicken raising when we started this site. We started as proud "parents" to a small flock of Orpingtons that we first brought in for fresh eggs only to discover their charms as loyal, lovable pets, for more than ten years now, we have added to our flock to include a Barred Rock, a Black Orpington, a Wyandotte, a Speckled Sussex, two Rhode Island reds and a red and Orpington “mutt”. Our kids, when we first got started were 5 and 7, and were actively involved with raising out hens since we first purchased some newborn chicks online. In watching them grow and trying to determine their needs, we have read numerous books and surfed the web to discover many valuable sites. Both the books and the sites are shared here with you on TheNewDog.com.
While there are many great sites for information on breeds, care and maintenance, there appeared none dedicated to the celebration of the species. None that could provide a single source for all things chicken. Thus I, a father who did not want a dog, but gave in to the demands of my kids and now sleep with a Bijon on my bed; who did not think chickens were "a great idea", but found myself going the extra yard to tuck them in on cold New England nights; decided to develop a website that celebrates these most noblest of pets.
The idea being to find a variety of interesting things, at the best price, and to offer them direct from the sellers, make a small profit, and to be able to make a difference in the way chickens have been reduced to an expendable commodity by the commercial poultry industry. A cause, championed by my daughter, that I too have now taken to heart.
Our feeling, which I'm sure is shared by many who are reading this, is that if we are to consume meat, we must never lose respect for the animal that gave up its life to help us sustain ours. And we must do what we can to endorse and support the ethical treatment of all commercially raised livestock.

Q: The bulk of the items being offered appear to come from Amazon, so why would I buy through TheNewDog.com and not from direct from Amazon?
A: They don't. They often come from the same source as some Amazon products, but often can be had for similar of not less than what it is listed on Amazon for. Amazon is the largest source for product in the world. Amazon is not a store, per se, but a store-front for companies large and small with all types of products. We may, from time to time offer our products on Amazon (or eBay) or even ETSY, because our goal is to provide you both choice and best price. (Note: We also feature products available nowhere else, like our custom T-Shirts - Get one today!) We make pennies on the dollar on most of our sales, so this site was not designed to generate a lot of revenues, but rather to promote interest in the wonderful world of chickens. We do contribute 10% of all we make to charitable organizations promoting sustainable poultry farming practices. It's one of the ways we are trying to raise awareness and make the world a better place for chickens and people.
