Livestock Protection for Dairy Goats
Protecting Your Goat Investment: Professional Livestock Guardian Dogs
Your goats deserve the same level of care in protection that you put into their breeding, health, and management.
As goat owners, we know the heartbreak of losing animals to predators. Whether you’re running a small dairy operation or managing a beloved pet herd, the anxiety of nighttime predator threats can steal your peace of mind and devastate your investment.
That’s why we also specialize in what we believe is the gold standard of livestock protection: properly bred and trained Maremma Sheepdog livestock guardian dogs.
The Reality of Goat Protection
Fencing alone isn’t enough. Even the best perimeter security can’t match the 24/7, intelligent protection of well-bred guardian dogs. But here’s what most people don’t realize: not all livestock guardian dogs are created equal. Poor breeding, inadequate socialization, and genetic health issues can create more problems than they solve.
Why We’re Different
Just as we’ve applied rigorous health standards and ethical breeding practices to our dairy goat herd, we bring the same standards to our Maremma breeding program:
- Industry-leading health testing protocols
- Proven working bloodlines from actual farm settings
- Comprehensive socialization and integration support
- Lifetime guidance as your farm needs evolve
Your Next Step
Your goats deserve protection that matches the care you’ve invested in them. Whether you’re just starting to research livestock guardian dogs or ready to add professional livestock protection to your farm, we have the experience and proven bloodlines to help.

Breed Incredible Dogs
It all starts with breeding incredible dogs. We breed sound, healthy dogs with superior Livestock Guardian abilities who also make devoted family or personal companions. Our dogs thrive on modern farms, ranches, and homesteads, big and small. One of our clients (who bought 2 pups from us in 2019 and 1 in 2021) dubbed our dogs “plug and play” and the term says it all!
Understand & Support Our Buyers
My goal is to see you and your dog thrive together. I invest a lot of time in training and handling my puppies, getting to know them, and understanding the kind of home they would do best in. I am adept at matching the right dog with the right family, whether you need an LGD, a family companion, or a bit of both. Your needs and desires and the well-being of the dogs are at the heart of what I do.
Provide Unparalleled Lifetime Client Support
My responsibility to you isn’t done once you take your puppy home. My outstanding lifetime client support ensures that your new Maremma will be a joy and a blessing, regardless of their role in your life. My extensive background in dog training and behavior and years of experience breeding and training Maremmas enables me to assist you in training your puppy as it matures, so you won’t need to figure things out on your own.
