Our guardians are our valued working partners and a crucial part of our ranch. These wise and watchful companions
help keep our herds safe against coyotes, dogs, snakes and other intruders to the pasture.
Periodically, we have puppies available for sale. Drop us an email if you would like to be notified when pups are available.

DaKoda came from AKC registered parents, King and Guinevere. His litter was not registered by their owner so he did not come with papers. He is a good sized boy, weighing over 110 pounds!

A great all-around Pyr!
Reference Only - We were deeply saddened by the loss of our faithful companion and trusted guardian, DaKoda, in July 2012. He will always be missed by his canine, caprine and human family. We hope to preserve some of his wonderful temperament and traits through his offspring.
