Bisera Deep Fork - Karakachan Livestock Guardian Dog

Meet Bisera "Sera".

She was born Feb 27 along with her 7 sisters to our wonderful guardian, Raina.  Her name means "pearls" in Bulgarian.  It is a reference to the white at her collar.  Like all Karakachans, she is a very independent thinker.  Sera is a confident pup, already showing the same connection her mother did.

She has been AKDA registered, microchipped, had her puppy and rabies shots, started on heartworm prevention, and is in training with Nigerian Dwarf dairy goats alongside her mom.  She can see the chickens but has NOT spent time with them.


Asking $475 but will entertain reasonable offers.  Contact me via email (faithsfarmok@gmail.com) or messaging (@faithsfarmok).  This is the only litter of pups that we will have.

Violeta Deep Fork - Karakachan Livestock Guardian Dog

 Meet Violeta "Leta".

She was born Feb 27 along with her 7 sisters to our wonderful guardian, Raina.  Her name means "violet" in Bulgarian.  Like all Karakachans, she is a very independent thinker.  Leta is the one that I put on reserve as a pup. She is much like her mom and the one I would prefer to keep.  However, she is available as we believe all the pups will be good guardians.

She has been AKDA registered, microchipped, had her puppy and rabies shots, started on heartworm prevention, and is in training with Nigerian Dwarf dairy goats alongside her mom.  She can see the chickens but has NOT spent time with them.

Updated Puppy Pictures

6-12-20

The pups are growing!  They've had two rounds of shots, dewormer, flea/tick treatment, and general vet exams.  They are quite adept at finding the dead armadillos and dragging them back to the play area.  (Sigh.  Such farm dogs!)  They are learning the ropes on how to care for their goats from both mom and dad.  They've found every stick-tite seed available in the pasture and plastered them to their fur.

Chickens, still.

We started our journey with chickens and a garden.  We still have both.  The chicken flock is smaller now tho.  We found that we don't use a lot of eggs and we do not have the desire to process our own birds for food.  We can if we have to but we'd just as soon not.

Homestead Flowers

When we purchased the homestead, there were a few iris patches.  I've slowly added various other beds.  I'll keep adding as long as I can.
