The kennel emphasizes health first, with each adult undergoing hip, elbow, and thyroid screening and following breed club guidelines. Puppies grow up in a family farm environment, gaining early socialization with children, livestock, and daily routines.

This approach fosters confidence and adaptability for guardian work, and many graduates serve as working partners on farms around the region. Owner Catherine O’Brien draws on years of hands-on experience to maintain a small, focused program that values clear communication and ongoing support for puppy families. Breeding dogs are registered with national canine organizations and participate in community farm visits to demonstrate the breed’s traditional guardian role. Each puppy leaves with a detailed health record and lifetime support for health or training questions. Temperament assessments are conducted at key growth stages to ensure balanced development and early behavior guidance.
