Past Dogs
Thistle Havens Hunter~HUNTER IS RETIRED~
Hunter comes from a working breeder in Canada out of two imported dogs from actual Italian shepherds.
We got him at a year and a half old in 2016. We are so impressed with him - he is confident, outgoing, loving towards the children and has excellent conformation. Pedigree PennHIP .36/.31 OFA Elbows Normal OFA Eyes Normal |
Stoneybrook Alexa Black Alder2014-2021
Alexa came to us from Colleen Williams of Stoneybrook Maremma's - the same breeder that Sheba is from. We are so proud to have this girl! Alexa has matured wonderfully. We are very pleased with her calm working attitude, her conformation and her loving temperament.
Alexa matured very early and was even serious as a puppy. She has proven herself trustworthy with all of our livestock, from the goats to the poultry. She is also very bonded to our family and adores the children. We were heart broken when she passed in 2021 from bloat. Pedigree OFA Hips Good OFA Elbows Normal OFA Eyes Normal OFA CHIC |
Black Alder's Amber Angel2013-2017
Ava was our first home-bred and raised livestock guardian dog. She matured nicely and was living with the livestock full time.
Ava was diagnosed with severe hip dysplasia at 2 1/2 years of age. Her condition went down rapidly and she started exhibiting signs of pain within a year. Even though we do our very best to lower the incidence of genetic disease in the puppies we produce, sadly, nothing is a 100% guarantee. We continue to strive for more health testing in the Maremma Sheepdog breed and transparency about known health issues. Pedigree OFA Hips Moderate OFA Elbows Normal OFA CHIC |
Stoneybrooks Sheba2009-2022
We got Sheba as a 3 year old. She originally came to Idaho from a working livestock guardian breeder, Colleen Williams of Stoneybrook Maremma Sheepdogs in Minnesota.
Sheba was our learning dog - and she taught us so much about livestock guardian dogs that led to my lightbulb moments when I started to actually understand what exactly makes LGD's different than other breeds of dogs. Pedigree OFA Hips Excellent OFA Elbows Normal OFA Heart Normal(P) OFA CHIC |
