• Puppy EOI Questions

    We are beginning to take Expressions of Interest for an upcoming litter of working Livestock Guardian Dog pups. Our LGDs are an important part of our farming operation and work alongside our sheep as a non-lethal predator management tool. Our dogs work in genuine livestock environments under significant predator pressure, including dingoes/wild dogs, foxes, feral pigs and wedge-tailed eagles. These pups will be raised on farm and around livestock from an early age, with their development focused on giving them the best possible foundation to become capable working guardians.
