Our livestock guardian dogs form the farm’s first line of defense, preventing harm from local predators and creating a secure environment where the flock and herd can thrive. Combining natural instincts with good training, they eliminate the need for traps or harsh deterrents, protecting both the farm and the local ecosystem.
