Our Breeding Philosophy
With a heavy emphasis on diet and nutrition as the standard for good health, we breed our livestock guardian dogs to produce future guardians that exhibit exceptional LGD traits, physical attributes, and positive health histories from both dam and sire. It is important to note that, although pups may not be a specific LGD breed standard, they come from multiple past generations of working lineages that are proven to do their job on the farm.
Spring 2022 Puppy Litter
Lenna x Broo Jr.
We are expecting a litter of puppies in May!
Be it for farm or family protection (or both), we are more than happy that we get to share all of the wonderful traits, including the genetic makeup, personalities, and working abilities, of our dam and sire with other people by offering future guardians!
Genetically, the puppies will be the following:
We are currently taking reservations for this litter of puppies. If you want to be considered for the reservation list, simply get ahold of us by contacting us in the form below. It is important to us that each dog goes to an appropriate home that can provide a setting that sets the dog up to be happy and successful. Because of that, prospective buyers should be knowledgeable about LGDs.
You will want to think about the following:
Job
All livestock guardian dogs need a job. Without one, poor habits arise. LGDs are just as great at home as a family companion as they are with animals on a farm. They have very strong instincts for guarding and protecting. What will the dog's job be?
Size
LGDs reach a large size. They can be very intimidating for someone not accustomed to have a large dog around. They must also be trained to be successful in various settings. Is a large-statured, strong-willed 100+ pound animal right for you and your lifestyle?
Space
At minimum, having an open space to run and get exercise is important. A property with many acres of land with distance in between houses is preferable. LGDs should be able to go outside freely. They should not be in an environment that is close to a busy road. They should be trained to a fence that teaches them boundaries. Do you live in an environment that bodes well to a happy LGD?
Food
In general, a large dog eats a lot. There are different philosophies on food (dry, raw, etc.), but one thing is certain: feeding an LGD costs a lot of money. Have you taken into consideration how much it will cost to feed the dog?
