Our LGD Pack
SPARTAN
Spartan was our first Livestock Guardian and a rescue at 10 months old in 2013. He's Anatolian/Pyrenees/Akbash and he has been neutered. With a lot of work he transitioned into a trusted guardian by 2 years old. Spartan has a soft spot for the baby calves. He's the first to greet them and will stay on their tails in the pasture.
ARTEMIS and APHRODITE
Artemis and Aphrodite are full sisters and came home with their sister, Athena, in Feb 2015. They are Pyrenees/Anatolian. By 6 months old Spartan was training them to guard the Mini Jersey herd and they were quickly learning basic commands like come, sit, lay down, leave it, and stay. These hard working girls are spayed.
MILLIE
Millie is a purebred, intact Great Pyrenees that came to us at 2 years old. Having only been exposed to small stock she was afraid at first of the Mini Jerseys. She used to chase the cats and chickens but now she kisses and snuggles them! Her preference is perimeter patrol or guarding the coop watching over the chickens.
VALKYRIE and LITTLE
Valkyrie and Little are being retained from Millie's first litter to join our Pack. As we grow into our 60 acres and expand our herd of Mini Jerseys we need more LGDs. "Val" caught Lance's eye at birth for her striking markings. Little was the smallest but didn't let that stop her. These girls are tough and fiercely loyal to us.
ZEUS, ODIN and TITAN
Zeus, Odin and Titan are Valkyrie and Little's brothers from the same litter. Zeus is steady tempered and curious. His brother, Odin, is a bold and independent teddy bear. Titan is cautious and observant. These big boys add muscle and numbers to our Pack and deter wolves, cougars and bears off the nearby mountains.
In Memoriam
ATHENA
Athena was a full sister to Aphrodite and Artemis. Sadly, Athena passed Sept 3, 2016, and is buried out our back door. She was always willing to be the coyote in games of "Chase the Coyote". Athena was fun loving and fierce but left us way too soon.
