A lot has happened this year! We welcomed a new lgd, Axel to help Aurora with the coyotes and many aerial predators we have. Axel is a big beautiful Akbash from White Pass breeding and he has helped us to get over Max’s passing. We are already experiencing less predator loss with him and he’s not fully trained. Harry Truly and his wife with White Pass breeding have been excellent mentors and 10/10
would recommend their dogs. I know they have 15 month old females currently, these dogs are trainable and in my opinion, Akbash are the breed to purchase. We also added goats to the homestead. Kyle is our bottle baby and the kids love him lots. As the name suggests, Kyle has a big personality. Kyle is basically nuts. We also have Vivian and Katy-Carrol, they are not like Kyle. We are hoping the goats will kill all the weeds we have on the back field! Looking forward to Sebastopol eggs hopefully dropping soon 🤞. Blue, grey and white Sebs will hopefully be available. Also check out our essay in Backyard Poultry Magazine about our Sebastopol if you’re interested. The real credit to this magazine essay goes to the amazing breeders who gave us our start.
