Karakachan LGD

The Karakachan Livestock Guardian Dog is not like many farm dogs. They are valued for their ability to think without being commanded.

Raina Crane Creek is our primary guardian.

Marko Kamalot is Raina’s male partner.

It took one litter for us to realize that we are NOT dog breeders. With everything else we have going on, adding the pups created a heaviness that we weren’t expecting. There are no plans to breed again. Check out the American Karakachan Dog Association site for more information.
