LGD Puppies

Ages: 0–7 Months

Every great guardian starts with the right foundation. Our Puppy Guardian Program is designed to introduce young LGDs to ranch life safely and positively — setting the groundwork for calm, confident, livestock-safe behavior from the start.

Program Includes (based on age and duration of program):

  • Early socialization with livestock (sheep, goats, poultry)

  • Desensitization to ranch noises, vehicles, and predator scents

  • Crate, leash, and boundary training

  • Safe livestock introductions under handler supervision

  • Health check, vaccinations, microchip, and GPS collar setup

  • Updates with photos and/or videos

Puppies leave confident, social, and ready for continued on-farm development — the first step in raising a reliable working LGD.

ROI in Action: Early-trained LGDs are proven to deliver long-term herd protection and savings, reducing losses from the very first season.

Lulu

Female - February 2026 - Great Pyrenees/Anatolian Shepherd

Our hearts were captured by a lone 7-week-old puppy at the shelter, but we soon learned his story was far from over. Shortly after committing to rescuing him, we got the call that his parents—Lily and Liam—had been caught in the orchards. We said "yes" without hesitation, but there was still a hole in the family: more puppies were rumored to be left behind.

We waited, caught between hope and worry, while traps were set. Just as hope was fading, the miracle happened—three more puppies were found! Seeing how much they look like their their brother Oliver, we knew the family was finally whole.

Now that Mom, Dad, and their brother Oliver have found their forever homes, it is time for these three resilient "Miracle Babies" to find theirs. They have survived the wild and the shelter—now they just need you.

Freya

Female - February 2026 - Great Pyrenees

Meet Freya, Saint’s 3-month-old sister. While her brother is happy being your shadow, Freya is the curious explorer of the bunch. She is a friendly, playful, and spirited Great Pyrenees who finds joy in every corner of the yard. Whether she’s on a serious mission to "hunt" lizards or tossing her toys in the air, Freya keeps us all smiling. Like her brother, Freya is being raised under the watchful eyes of our veteran LGDs. She is incredibly social and takes life with a "happy-go-lucky" attitude. She’s smart, observant, and is learning exactly how to balance her playful energy with the discipline required of a Guardian dog. Curious, friendly, and always ready for a game of fetch (or lizard-chase!). Exposed to cats and dogs of all sizes and gets along with everyone. Even with her playful nature, she’s respectful of the wild birds that visit the yard. She handles her crate time like a champ. She’s doing great—as long as you give her a "fast-track" to the dirt as soon as she wakes up! Freya is looking for a family who wants a dog with a little bit of "zest"—a girl who will join you on hikes, play with the kids in the yard, and then curl up for a well-earned nap at the end of the day.

Are you ready for a lifetime of lizard-chasing adventures with Freya?
