Our Livestock Guardian Dogs

We got our first LGD nearly six years ago, and we will never regret that decision. Our alpha male has been such an important part of this farm, working his job exactly like he was bred to do. Instincts run high with these dogs—it’s in their blood, and it’s just a part of who they are.

Now, not all dogs labeled as LGDs actually work well with livestock. We've all heard the horror stories of dogs that are way too wild, refuse to bond with their stock, act as escape artists, or even turn on the animals they’re supposed to protect. Personally, we believe a lot of that boils down to how they are started off in the beginning. It comes down to how they’re raised and trained, avoiding puppy mills, and making sure there are solid genetics behind them.

A good guardian should be a huge benefit to your farm. They should be working for you, not you working for them. People say a good LGD is worth their weight in gold, and they truly are. For us, they are definitely worth their feed bill.

We raise and breed our dogs for exactly that reason: to be great guardians that bond deeply with their stock and grow into well-mannered, respectful protectors. We don’t keep LGDs just to breed them—we have them for the actual work they do on our homestead every day. Because of that, we only breed once a year with our two main working dogs.

The pups go quick, so if you’re looking to add an LGD from proven working lines to your farm, ranch, or homestead, don't hesitate to reach out!

First question. Is this guy proven? He is a proven livestock guardian. He is a proven breeder, as we've had 3 litters sired by him. He is also proven in the kind of pups he's produced.
