Cat Ponds (Smithfield, VA)
Cat Ponds is a stunning 75 acre farm in Smithfield, Virginia. This farm features 50 acres of lakes stocked with fish used to host local fishing tournaments, stand up paddle board lessons and events, swimming, and water fowl retrieval training.
In addition to the amazing scenery, it is also a working farm and home to several different animals including: sheep (mostly Kahtahdin , Desert painted and St. Croix), miniature donkeys, chickens, ducks (Musckovy Ducks), goats (Boer, Pygmy, and San Clemente Island goats), and geese.
Terri Chisman, who has been involved in dog training for more than 20 years, offers herding instinct testing and lessons for all breeds at Cat Ponds year round.
Cat Ponds is home to a number of events each year, including events for the Community based Warrior Transition Unit, National Wild Turkey Federation, Heroes on the Water, and VR Canine (odor detection).
