GREAT PYRENEES
After a lot of research and studying to determine which breed of Livestock Guardian Dog (LGD) was the right breed for us, we decided on the Great Pyrenees. A decision we are very happy with. Our dogs have proven to us that they can be very successful guardian dogs and be friendly family members also.
Our dogs live with our goat herd... but they are also very socialized with people. They are friendly, leash trained, and easy to work with. They are also a deterrent for predators and stray dogs. Since the addition of our dogs to the herd, we have had no further problems with the neighbors dogs, and the coyotes are no longer coming into our pastures.
And at the same time our grandchildren can hug our dogs and pet them. And we have no fears of their gentleness with them.
Zsa Zsa
1997-2010
Our beloved senior guard dog. Passed away March 4, 2010.
Zsa Zsa left behind her daughter Emma Lou and her two grandsons Fozzie Bear and Bart. While we miss the queen herself, her family is hard at work, fulfilling the responsibilities she left them with. Our LGD team is stronger because of this grand old lady.
We miss you Zsa Zsa.
Tulla
Tulla is a wonderful LGD who has kept coyotes and stray dogs out of our pastures on more than one occasion. She is proving to be an incredible LGD.
Emma Lou
Emma joined the team in December 2005. This girl IS an LGD... she takes the job very seriously. She is a secure strong point in our guardian team. Emma Lou has no fear... coyotes, fox, stray dogs, hawks, eagles... makes no difference to her, they are all intolerable.
Bearin Yon Blizzard
(Kindredpyrzglacierofmission X Star Lake Crystal)
Bear has not only produced us great pups... Bear has proven himself to be a fantastic Guardian Dog as well. Bear is a very large boy... big boned and gorgeous... his pups are no different. Pups have been sold as LGD's, family pets and show dogs. You just can't go wrong with a pup sired by Bear!
Fozzie Bear
We were smitten.... Fozzie is a pup from our 2008 litter. We fell in love with him and kept him as part of our LGD Team.

Livestock Guardian Dogs
During the summer of 2010 Tulla developed a serious health issue and will no longer be having pups. Those who had wanted to reserve a pup from the 2011 litter, I'm sorry but we probably will not have another litter until late 2011 out of Emma Lou.
2010 update:
Fozzie has developed into an incredible LGD. He has his own pasture of does... and is very protective. Good Boy Fozzie Bear!
Bart
Bart was born just two weeks before the passing of his grandma Zsa Zsa. We retained him to take over guarding the pasture that his grandma left behind. While still a pup... he shows great promise. At only 6 months of age he is working the fence line of the bred doe pasture and on patrol at night with his dad. We expect him to be a great LGD also.
Next litter due date:
TBA
