Our Animals
Chickens
Our hand-raised, organically fed chickens have plenty of space during the day to roam outside, forage for grass, leaves, bugs, worms and are often found dust-bathing in holes of their own making under and around their coop or under nearby trees. They are kept safe at night in a cozy chicken coop with plenty of space to walk, fly, perch, and lay eggs in nesting boxes. Our many chickens are watched over both day and night by Colorado Mountain Dogs, who protect them from the various predators that live around our wooded mountain farm.
Turkeys
Our friendly, organically fed turkeys love to strut around and show their beautiful plumage while foraging for bugs and roosting in trees surrounded by 6' fencing or on the fence gate. Our beautiful Narragansett Tom watches over his flock of Narragansett, Royal Palm, Blue Slate, and Blue Slate/Black Spanish Jennies, as well as keeping a friendly eye on the chickens. As with our chickens, our turkeys are guarded from predators both day and night by our Colorado Mountain Dogs.
Livestock Guardian Dogs (LGDs)
We have 5 growing and adult Colorado Mountain Dogs (CMDs) and 2
CMD puppies being trained to work in various capacities. Our LGDs help guard our animals from coyotes, foxes, bears, mountain lions, bobcats, and birds of prey. CMDs are a breed in development being bred specifically to meet the needs of small acreage farms and eco-tourism. They are beautiful, tall, slender dogs and are not only great livestock guardians, but also friendly to people and often have amazingly sensitive natures that make them very good snuggle buddies. As a breed in development, the breed foundation is a Great Pyrenees/Anatolian Shepherd cross, but many other LGD breeds have been brought into the genetic mix to add personality traits, height, and health. Our dogs include a mix of Great Pyrenees, Anatolian Shepherd, Maremma, Karakachan, Kuvasz, and Akbash
​
We carefully breed our livestock guardian dogs for guarding ability, friendliness, barking only for a purpose, low wandering. We also breed certain litters specifically hoping to get traits suitable to therapy and service dogs. In Spring of 2023, our 2 litters (a total of 16 puppies) by UUU Paisley and her daughter PAWD Denali gave us huge success in the area of dogs working with people. Just about half of our puppies tested with temperaments very suitable to service dog training, therapy dog training emotional support dog or pet. The other half are excellent, friendly livestock guardians.
