Thistle Havens Hunter

We were very blessed to be able to get Hunter from a good friend who was getting out of livestock.

Hunter comes from a working breeder in Canada out of two imported dogs from actual Italian working breeders.

We are so impressed with him - he is confident, outgoing, loving towards the children and has excellent conformation.

Stoneybrook Alexa Black Alder

Alexa joined us here at Black Alder Ranch from Code of Ethics breeder Colleen Williams at Stoneybrook Maremma Sheepdogs in Minnesota.

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.
