Kune Kunes
The Kune Kune (pronounced “cooney cooney”) pig breed was once near extinction. Kunes are known for docile and friendly personalities which is unlike any other breed of swine. They are extremely outgoing and love human interaction. Their short and upturned snouts make them suitable grazers and less prone to rooting found in other breeds. They have little to no desire to roam and do not test fencing. ​​​​
​
We love our kunes and highly recommend adding them to small farms and homesteads. We began to build our kune family in 2022 and had our first litter in late 2022.
We will be pleased to offer options for registered breeding stock, companion stock (gilt or barrow) as well as gourmet pork in 3rd quarter 2023!
Bernese Mountain Dogs
The Bernese Mountain Dog, which originated in Switzerland, is a gentle giant with its large frame and striking tri-colored coat. A very affectionate and excellent family dog, the Bernese Mountain Dog is amazing with children and most other pets and loves to be included in all family activities. Breed aficionados love the Bernese Mountain Dog’s intelligence and devotion to family. They are protective but not aggressive, loyal but independent, and energetic but not exhausting.
​
We plan to offer our first litter of Bernese puppies early 2024!
Livestock Guardians
Our two LGDs (livestock guardian dogs) are our Great Pyrenees, Titus and Josephina May (Jo-Jo). Pyrs are perhaps the most commonly known LGDs and primarily serve to protect our other animals from predators. Common predators in our region would be coyotes, raccoons, foxes, and hawks.
They are the true work-horses around here, but have become like family. Pyrs are gentle dogs, aloof around strangers, wonderful with children and have a strong nurturing behavior with young animals. Despite the Pyr’s essential good nature and calm demeanor, socialization and training are required. They are still guard dogs at heart and will protect their charges. The Pyrenees works primarily through barking and warning threats, only making physical contact if the intruder persists.
We certainly couldn't do what we do with out them; they are vital to our success and the welfare of our animals.
