Alpacas with Fangs

They look just like the Alpacas... but they have fangs. In nine months they will be 100+ lbs and start being on guard duty in and around the barn.

Pearly Alpaca Checking Out the Puppies

These two bundles of white fur are destined to guard the Alpaca herd. Here is curious Pearly coming to check them out. So far the puppies want the Alpacas to play with them. They will spend supervised time together every day until all the white fuzzy creatures are calm and happy together.

Brothers

Zarah and Puppy

They don't have names yet, but they are already learning to accept pats. These Kuvasz puppies are not human focused like most dogs you meet. They are independent minded guardian working dogs who will be deliberately socialized to people and obedience trained, but will not be 'pets'.

Mars Puppy

They are gettig big SO fast.

Mars Listening

Mars is listening to Jonathan whistle at him. Getting their attention is something of a trick... they are very busy snuffling and playing and exploring.

Pluto Playing

The puppies are all rubber bands and springs. Pluto is ready to bounce on a cat in this picture.

Mister Pluto Black

Pluto is growing rapidly towards huge. Here he is about to give Jonathan a big puppy kiss.

Jumping Lens Puppies

Our friend Mark K took this picture. This is exactly what you see as you lean over the gate to the puppy enclosure.

Lillith & Pluto

Handsome Pluto Puppy

See Brutus kitty hiding behind the woodpile in the background? Pluto wants to make friends with him but Brutus just isn't sure.

Pluto Paying Attention

Pluto heard something interesting outside and gave one of his signature Woofs! He has a beautiful deep voice in that big broad chest. Brutus continues to lurk behind the wood pile.
