Mr. Green is a very sweet and social boy. We look forward to seeing him working as a Wolf and Grizzly Guard, or as a general Farm Guard. His parents are very smart, athletic, and loyal guardians.

Mr. Brown is the THE BOSS! This boy is a leader. Dominant alpha male . If you are looking for a dog with courage this is the guy. He will be a great pack leader, and is the most alert and on point of the litter.

These pups were born Dec. 3rd from Jed and Bidrie. They have grown to be such a great group and are ready to head to their new homes!
We welcome 12 new Caucasian Shepherds into the world! Jed & Birdie's Dec. 3rd, litter has 8 males and 4 females. All healthy and beautiful. It was a smooth whelping thanks to my wonderful mid-wife Tammi Michels! More pictures to come in a few weeks.
One of our clients, Theresa Smith, wrote this wonderful reminder and teaching. The Sharplaninatz Shepherd in the picture is one of ours. Such a beauty. If you have kids and dogs, this is good advice.
Dogs. Man’s best friend, until they’re not…😔
My little girl (human) is just over two. Our Sarplaninac, just over one.
A few weeks ago we were out picking apples when I heard my daughter and son “barking.” I turned to find them both yelling and barking in my Sar’s face 😟😠
Thankfully, she just sat there. No reaction, just ignored them. She’s such a good girl. 😍
But she shouldn’t have to be. And that’s why I’m posting.
I used the above as an opportunity to once again teach my kids how to behave around dogs—even their dogs. We’ve been over this before, but at ages 2 and 4 I suspect we will round this topic a few more times🙄
I’m sharing this because I know it’s not just my household. I’ve seen the way other kids act around dogs, even *their* dogs, and it’s not ok 😑 Some of you are risking bites or attacks with what you’re allowing your kids to do. In our culture we expect SO much from these beautiful creatures…”be completely gentle with everyone, tolerate everything, but don’t forget to protect me from the bad guys” 😵💫
Parents: PLEASE teach your kids about dogs.
💥 With so many mauling headlines as of late, it just might save their lives 😢
Here’s a few tips:
DO ask permission to pet. Let dogs snif your outstretched hand. Advance slowly and let the dog advance slowly.
DO Watch their body language: excessive panting (esp when not hot), appearing “frozen,” avoiding pets/eye contact, tail tucking, hair on end, flattened ears, aversive movements are indicators that an animal isn’t comfortable…give it space 😬
DO watch for positive body language from the dog: wagging tail, “smiling,” relaxed/playful posture, dog seeking pets, hair at ease 🙂
DO NOT: force interactions, allow kids to yell/bark at, do not grab paws/tails, stick your face in a dogs face (Yes, even your dog), jump on, sit on, play on (esp true of large breeds).
DO NOT approach barking dogs or stick hands in cages, fences, or kennels if a dog is secured. It’s probably secured for a reason 😬
I’m so thankful my dogs have been gracious with our kids. And while I hope they always would be, we monitor. We don’t allow our kids to harass ANY of our animals. Chasing, taunting, or messing with animals of any species is NEVER ok. We work to teach our kids animal behavior—what a happy dog looks like vs a nervous dog.
For some of you this is obvious, for others foreign, but I’m sharing because if you don’t know, or haven’t taken time to teach your kids—DO! Dogs are all around us and such wonderful animals, BUT, we expect an awful lot from them 😔 A little understanding of their behaviors as well as knowing how to make them comfortable could go a long way in saving some bites, maybe even some lives.

This female is one of the sharpest the pair has ever created. It is easily seen when looking into her eyes. Perfect conformation! I am thrilled to introduce her to the world.
HELP! A MASSIVE DOG RESCUE IS UNDERWAY IN NEVADA. MOST DOGS ARE GAMPRS, SOME CO'S OR CO CROSS.
Please Join the Caucasian Ovcharka Preservation Society Group on Facebook - join the group with the keyword, "Rescues" to be admitted, and help in whatever way you can. A link for donations will be posted ASAP. We are waiting the go-ahead from the Sheriff's department, who is obtaining the seizure court order.

It is with great excitement that Frontier Guardians announces the acquisition of our new Sharplaninatz Shepherd sire; Avarga Gazi Baba Volcanoes. Avarga means "Champion" in the Mongolian language. He was named this because he has many Champions, even World Champions in his blood line. He is doing great here on the farm in Montana, and we want to thank Deniz Selim for providing us with such a great Sharplaninatz. A big thanks to Lariata Mecham for helping to get him home as well; it was a long trip from Macedonia to Montana!
The Caucasian pups are now 4 weeks old. It is fun to see their personalities coming out. They are all very healthy and so stinkin' cute!

First, I want to share my condolences with this family that lost their LGD. I don't know them, but I am sure they are having a rough time. Secondly, I wanted to share this article with all our clients so that the severity of "guarding" in the North Western USA and Canada can be understood by all. We are asking our dogs to stand against one of the most powerful predators on the planet, and because of that Frontier Guardians is breeding dogs that we believe can do the job better than most. Both the Sharplaninatz & Caucasian Shepherds have proven histories against wolves - but one dog against a pack is never a good plan. It would have to be one of the toughest dogs in the world to stand. I have seen videos of such dogs, but how unusual are they??? If you have wolves in your area, really consider the need for multiple dogs at the very least a team of very strong dogs. As a breeder we also face a tremendous challenge - breeding dogs that are good with your family, able to be socialized, and still tough enough to stand against a wolf!! That is a tall order, but we are working to do our best. If you have wolves, plan accordingly. Buy dogs that are up to the task, and back them up with good partners. NONE of us want to wake up to this type of tragedy.
Look at this beautiful bear cub! Caucasian Ovcharka pups are so stout, and this young boy will definitely grow to be a bruiser.

There is something special about a Caucasian puppy. They have such a presence from these early weeks. This little girl, Red collar, is just a doll. Her cute little face can make you melt.

Many times we have said how great it would be if we could just freeze time and keep them so cute and cuddly. These Sharplaninatz Shepherd pups are silky as a mink and fun to snuggle. They will be getting their full portraits done soon, so we will have lots of pics to share in the coming weeks.

When you look at the joy in Anna's face while feeding the Sharplaninatz Shepherd litter, you can see why the Martens family are breeding partners with us. She loves these pups and does such a great job with them. These are fun pics.

There are those who will never be satisfied with simply wolf recovery. They want wolves to dominate the landscape far in excess of healthy populations. This is a must read!
After decades of crying that wolves were going to be eradicated by the states, wolf advocates continue to be in denial over getting what they asked for: wolf recovery. The Northern Rocky Mountain gray wolf population (encompassing Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming) first met biological recovery goals back...
The Caucasian pups are growing! First meal of softened food. Great litter of 3 females and 8 males. They are now out in the lamb barn, which is nice and cool next to the creek.
It's always good to look back into old world functionality and traditional use of these breeds. A good read on the Sharplaninatz, and the life of a shepherd family.
What would you consider to be an acceptable level of personal risk for you and your family in livestock farming? Imagine life in a small caravan with two young children on the edge of wilderness where wolves and bears freely roam. Imagine these same apex predators testing your ability to protect you...
