About Us

Welcome to WayCross Farm! We are a small farm that has a variety of unique/heritage farm breeds including

Gypsy Cobs

Clydesdales

Drum Horses

Kune Kune Pigs

Aberdeen Angus

Holstein/Jersey 

Cochin Chickens

We have proudly bred AKC American Cocker Spaniels for over 30 years, and have added Cockapoos to our program several years ago.

 

There have been many changes in both society and at WayCross Farm in the last few years but our commitment to our breeds, our Faith in God and our promise to our customers is stronger than ever.

Please take a look at our Past, our Present and our Future

Our Past

WayCross became known as WayCross Farm because of a nondescript brown quarter horse colt named WayCross Bert. Bert lived his life with Diane, being ridden and loved for over 30 years. He was one of the best creatures to ever walk on 4 legs.  This Oklahoma Star,  Bert bred quarter horse was true to his lineage. His coarse head and a body to die for concealed a heart of gold. It was always easy to find them in the arena either roping, running barrels or poles.  Because of the love and dedication of this amazing horse, Diane changed the name of the farm to honor this once in a lifetime horse.

Always sitting on the sideline of the arena was Diane's "Cloud of Cockers" as  they became known.  These wonderfully loyal, always happy, tail wagging dogs are a lifetime love affair at WayCross.  One line in particular has been unbroken and is from the original cocker Diane had when she was 12 years old, over 40 years ago.

 

Our Present

We have grown by leaps and bounds for some truly happy reasons, and one very sad reason. 

On the sad note, Diane lost a very dear friend and fellow American Cocker Spaniel breeder, Jean Arendt in 2020. Jean, founder of  Fossil Ridge Kennels, asked Diane and others, to provide for her beloved American Cocker Spaniels. Jean asked, and WayCross answered fulfilling her final cocker wish.  This brought the addition of many wonderful dogs to our lives and breeding plans. With the expansion of our kennel and the addition of new employees to help in the care, love and enrichment of these amazing dogs.

We did take a small break from breeding our wonderful horses, but we wanted everything to be just right for the next phase in the big barn. We have beautifully seeded pastures, large open stalls and crystal clear stock tanks to keep the big guys happy and healthy. 2021 will see our first  WayCross multigenerational foals on the ground. Gypsy, Drum and Clyde foals are on the way!

We have added Kune Kune pigs to our farm and will be expecting our first litters this year. Stay tuned for that excitement!

 

Future

As we look down the road, many plans are beginning to take root and move from the dreaming phase to the planning phase. We are working our way to sustainability in pork, beef, and poultry production on the small scale. Our horses are at an age where they are beginning their under saddle and driving training. As to the wonderful cocker and cockapoo program continues to thrive, we are looking to add both grooming and boarding in the near future to the public.

As Always, thank you for loving your WayCross fur babies, be they  4 hooved or pawed, and know that we are always hear for you.

The Thompson Family

    Just a quick shout out to the folks at Waycross Farms! Best customer service around! My cocker puppy, Bryan, is over the top amazing. I loved getting a contract, and a forever return to the breeder guarantee. Happy, healthy and cute as a bug! Will definitely recommend and buy from this breeder again!

    Waycross Farm has the most loving caring friendly environment you could imagine for their dogs and horses. I bought both a cocker puppy and bred my mare to one of Diane's stallions. The love, care and attention to detail were outstanding! My cocker is now a wonderful member of my family. When she came to me, she was the most well adjusted, healthy puppy I have ever seen! I will be forever thankful that I have my Mia. Bless you all!

    I will never forget the day that I made a call to one of the most amazing breeders, Diane Gatlin-Thompson. We were searching for a reputable breeder of American Cocker Spaniels and hit the jackpot! These are the most educated and invested folks in breeding with health as the main focus. We drove from Lubbock down to Magnolia to pick up our baby boy Hank, our girl Hanna became available while en route. We have two of the healthiest and most beautiful animals I have ever encountered. Both with distinct habits and personalities that make them endearing. I have been back in contact with Diane over the year and have found her both helpful and gracious. Her place in Magnolia is amazing and full of life. Beautiful surroundings and their horses and dogs all impeccable. Heaven right here on earth. If you are wanting a horse or pup I would not be able to recommend better, you will make a lifelong relationship with not only your animal but with the breeders. Kudos to you for making a huge difference in the life of animals and people, you are a blessing! ... ever, Dawn
