San Diego Great Pyrenees Puppies, Babydoll Sheep and Katahdin Sheep

We are a small scale ranchette in San Diego County. We believe in responsible breeding, ensuring the health of our dogs and sheep.

Things we are passionate about with our Katahdin and Babydoll sheep: 

• With our breeding rams for sale, we prioritize Biosecurity tested negative parents, Scrapies resistance (Codon 171 testing in all rams), and breed standards for quality.

• Breeding Babydolls for: friendliness, quality conformation, mothering and lambing abilities, overall health. We maintain registry with all four registries and work to ensure breed standards with all: NABSSAR, BSSBA, BSRA and OEBMSSR. 

• Breeding Katadhins for: Parasite resistance, hardiness, heat tolerance, early shedding, little to no hoof trimming needs, OPP Resistance, mothering and lambing abilities, early muscling.

• We do yearly biosecurity testing with Veterinary laboratories for OPP, CL CAE, Q-Fever, Brucellosis, Johnes and more if appropriate. This practice is becoming more common in the sheep industry, and is generally well practiced in the goat industry. These diseases cause losses every year across the world and we are passionate about prevention.
