Choosing the right dog breed is an important and lasting decision, one that should be made carefully, and should be the perfect fit of matching your needs and desires for a companion or livestock guardian with the traits that are typical of a specific breed. We are thankful to have found a breed we adore, love and can wholeheartedly recommend - Great Pyrenees! ~ Health and great genetics are essential to our breeding program - no decisions are taken lightly! Body conformation, strong pigment, and genetic markers are equally as important as the parents' temperament. Each of four-legged family members have been DNA swabbed and are clear of all major genetic health conditions; of both general types and those that are breed-specific. Our top priority is to continually look for ways to improve the Great Pyrenees and Poodle standard in our lines. ~ All the animals on the farm are on a natural herbal deworming schedule, and receive traditional dewormer only as needed. For our dogs, we feed a base of dry kibble that is supplemented with meats, eggs from our chickens, and other healthy fat sources. |
Great Pyrenees
We knew what we didn't want: a hyper dog that wouldn't dial down, as we were raising our own babies and toddlers and already had all the commotion that we could handle! After starting the beginnings of our farm in 2013, we began to look into LGDs and were quickly drawn to Great Pyrenees as they are great with children. We had seen a few cougars in this area (one right next to our house!) and having our Pyrenees around has given us great peace of mind. They are a wonderful balance of friend and guardian, and are low maintenance and mellow. Even if we stop having a need for a guardian dogs, our family pet would always be a Great Pyrenees!
We have so enjoyed investing our time and love into our fluff-ball pyrenees litters, and seeing the puppies go to their new homes; to either be a great help for a working farm, or as a beloved family companion.

White O'Morn Knute Our boy has the most amazing, gentle personality - we call him our friendly ambassador! He is named after Knute Rockne, who pronounced his name "Kuh-newt". His enjoys greeting visitors, and has some tricks up his sleeve - he has been known to play a game of tag with our kids in the house romping around like a gigantic bunny rabbit. When Knute is outside, he is a great working pyr and takes to his role as a guardian naturally. As with herd animals, the importance of sire is vital, as he is cornerstone of everything that is produced. We've been truly blessed with Knute as our cornerstone, and would pick him a hundred times over! We look forward to keeping one of his sons. Knute has Freedom Farmz and Canadian Graymar lines, and a fun fact about him is that he is grandson to "Zeus", who starred as Santa Paws in the movie Santa Buddies. AKC WS56297805 |

White O'Morn Liberty
Liberty (Libby) is very similar to matriarch Merida, in her fun-loving personality. She is a gentle, friendly working dog, guarding our cows, goats, and chickens, but she loves to play with us and her pups! When we have visitors, she loves to say hello and get rubs. Libby has Snowchase genetics in her line, but also brings back some distant Graymar and Milk & Honey Farms genes. The photo to the left is at 1 1/2 years old, the one at the right at 2 years.

White O'Morn Merida
The girl that started it all! She is the first of our beloved pyrenees and is a great guard dog, while also being very sweet and friendly to visitors. Merida will always hold a special place in our heart as our first family dog. |
