Working Dogs

What would our farm be without our dogs?

Livestock Guard Dogs

We have three livestock guard dogs, Luke, Sarah and Anna. Luke is a Sharplannec. He is a territory guarder and keeps a constant check on our perimeter. Sarah is a Great Pyrenees. Anna is a Pyr cross. Sara and Anna stay with the sheep. They are a great team and keep the coyote, stray dogs and deer off of our property and away from our livestock

Border Collies

We got our first Border Collie, Annie Weasel, in 1979. (What a great dog she was!) Since then, dogs that we have bred have been working livestock, competing in obedience and agility, participating in search and rescue, working as therapy dogs, appearing in plays, chasing geese and more. Needless to say, they have also been loving and loyal members of their families.

See our current pack of dogs below. They can be found working goats or sheep, chasing geese, playing soccer, herding the cat or curled up in the kitchen chewing on a bone. They are ready for any job...no matter how big or small.
