She is cunning as a fox and seems to always be on a mission.  She is constantly on duty patrolling the pasture and checking on animals. Her one and only hobby is protecting her livestock and securing the perimeter. Marigold is always the last to leave a conflict and will only retreat after harassing the threat off property.

Duke is a double dew claw full-blood Great Pyrenees whose pedigree is from France, the homeland of the Great Pyrenees. Duke is our most attentive dog who wants nothing more than to please you and protect his home territory. He is a gentle giant who tolerates anything from pecking chickens, to squirming piglets, or bouncing goats. Duke has a derpy lovable disposition but when it’s time to get serious he is a formidable opponent. As the alpha and “big guns” of the team, he is a powerful protector and solid guardian. With this boy on duty you can be sure aerial predators won’t bother your flock. At the sight of any large winged bird he will charge full throttle the entire length of the property. Duke enjoys spending most of his time with the chickens but periodically checks-up on the sheep and cattle as well. Duke does not exhibit a propensity to roam off property which qualifies him for our breeding program.

She gets right down to business in the field and displays constant diligence at work. Her puppy phase was the shortest of any dog we’ve experienced. By 6-months old she was done with puppy play and ready to do her job. Bobbie is always on the front lines as the “lookout”. She is sharply in tune with her surroundings and quickly alerts to all perceived threats. Although she is relatively small in stature, she is by far the most confident and mature dog we’ve ever had, which qualifies her as our top breeder. While she may come across as aloof at times, this is the most reassuring sign of her dedication to her job.
