Our Puppies

Iris had her first litter of 7 on February 16th, 2023.

 

Our puppies' behavior and training has been our primary focus as these pups have been growing. They are all kennel trained and are used to sleeping in a kennel together at night. They have been socialized with other dogs, cats, free-range chickens and ducks (although puppies are never chick/duckling safe), as well as our large herd of dairy goats. We try to do all we can to help our puppies be responsible livestock guardian dogs.

 

They have been vaccinated (Rabies and Distemper/Parvo) and microchipped. All of our puppies will also go with their own slow feeder bowl that they have been using since birth. This has eliminated competition over food as they have been growing up. ​

 

They are now ready to join their new loving family, and if that sounds like you don't hesitate to reach out!

Blissberry Close The Iris

DOB: 02/07/2020 (3 years old)

Purebred Great Pyrenees - White

 

Iris is not only a smart and friendly dog but has also proven to be an exceptional first-time mother. As she embraced motherhood, she flourished into a nurturing and affectionate matriarch, consistently displaying her natural talent for guardianship. With her remarkable temperament and keen watchfulness, she exudes a sense of reliability and attentiveness. You'll often find her comfortably nestled in the shade near the buck pens, diligently keeping a vigilant eye on everything around her.

Iris epitomizes the ideal livestock guardian dog we had been seeking for our farm, and we couldn't be more thrilled to have her as the cornerstone of our Pyrenees breeding program. Deidrägo isn't just goats anymore!

For all you early 2000 Sci-Fi fans, Iris is named after the series Stargate SG-1, and one of the protective technologies found in the show.

Blissberry Nimbus Cloud

DOB: 02/07/2022  (1 year old)                MALE

Purebred Great Pyrenees - White

 

Despite being a young puppy, Nimbus has an insatiable appetite for attention, eagerly seeking every opportunity to bask in the affection bestowed upon him. While he still grapples with the challenge of refraining from jumping, we remain confident that with time and maturity, he will effortlessly outgrow this aspect of puppy behavior.

Adorned with an exquisite Pyrenees head, Nimbus radiates a striking beauty that captures the essence of this beloved breed. His regal appearance is complemented by a robust and muscular physique, showcasing both strength and athleticism in equal measure.

Blissberry Naga

DOB: 07/16/2014 (9 years old)

Purebred Great Pyrenees - Badger

 

Naga, our beloved and gentle old lady, has faithfully served as our trusted livestock guardian dog since 2016. She shares a special lineage, being the full sister of our late Star-Lord and a half sister (sharing the same mother) to Iris. Throughout her life, Naga has demonstrated an exceptional ability to train and nurture puppies.

Though Naga's friendly nature is accompanied by a penchant for whining, her unwavering dedication to her duties is evident when you visit. While she may pester you for attention, she takes her role as protector of the goats with utmost seriousness. You often find her watching over the babies (probably in front of the fan).

 

It's remarkable to realize that Naga has already reached the age of 9, yet we are grateful that her energy and devotion have not waned. Naga holds a special place in our hearts as a cherished member of our farm family, embodying both gentleness and steadfastness in her role as an LGD.

Deidrägo Samantha Carter

Purebred Great Pyrenees - White

 

Iris X Nimbus

Carter is our retained female from Iris's first litter. She fit in so well (and likes hanging out during milking time!) that we couldn't choose to part with her. She's a sweet puppy with a perfect balance of love for people and love for her goats. We are excited to watch our very first Deidrägo puppy grow to adulthood!

Whats In A Name:

Colonel Dr. Samantha Carter is one of our favorite characters from Stargate SG-1 .

Great Pyrenees

Our dedication to the remarkable Great Pyrenees breed stems from our profound appreciation for their unique blend of friendly temperament and unwavering loyalty as guardian dogs. At our farm, we prioritize dogs that possess a perfect balance: they must be easily handled and trainable while also being trustworthy protectors who genuinely care for and adore our goats.

 

Having previously owned a few other Livestock Guardian Dog (LGD) breeds, we owned individuals who either lacked the desired temperament towards people, or exhibited mere territorial behavior without a genuine affinity for our goats.

It is through this firsthand experience of owning and training different kind of dogs, that we have settled up Great Pyrenees. This breed embodies the instinct and very traits we hold dear. Great Pyrenees have proven to be the ideal fit for our small farm, as they gracefully accommodate visiting guests and coexist with our house dogs. Their exceptional qualities make them the perfect guardians for us.
