2026 Litter Planning
We are planning a spring litter.
We missed Sadie's heat cycle, so we will be breeding Freya one more time (to her great joy, she loves being a mom more than anything and the vet gave her the all clear to have another litter!)

Blacksheep Freya
Freya is a happy dog who always is smiling. She's a natural bobtail. Her jobs are herding sheep, keeping everyone where they should be, varmint control and catching and holding livestock. She has a special talent for locating lost livestock and will not leave her charge until I arrive. She has the grit needed for even the most stubborn ram.

Tranquil Morning Bella Notte "Olive"
RATI, RATN, RATO
Olive is a sweet young dog who has a promising career ahead of her as an agility dog and has her first trial coming up. She's started her training and learns new tasks quickly. She is also crazy fast. Even with all that, she still helps out on the farm. She is also a natural bobtail.
Olive earned her Open title in Barn Hunt.
Blacksheep Mister Right, CTL1-H
Max is a stellar farm dog. He is the "verminator" on the farm. He is also the "welcome wagon" with his friendly outgoing temperament.Max is working on his Novice Title in Barn Hunt and has his CTL1-H title in CPE Agility.
Tranquil Morning Johnny Cash
Cash is out of our most recent Dusty X Freya litter. He is a very light clear sable male. He has some nice size to him, we are expecting him to be around 65lbs when fully grown. He is smart, level headed and outgoing. He will eventually be a part of our breeding program, pending his pennhip testing when he is older. He has started agility foundations and barn hunt training.

Our First English Shepherd
TMF English Shepherds in their new homes...
Alfie - Working Farm/ Active Family
4 men in their late 30s to late 40s overtook us on the trail. The had a nervous/anxious/add synonyms German Shepherd without a leash: they were trying to hold his collar without much luck. Alfie sat still and let them pass. We continued down the trail behind them when Alfie ran just off trail and began to coral /herd the kids next to me. In doing so, he went over a hive of ground yellow jackets and his face was covered in bees. I used a stick to beat the bees off his face while he showed dominance to the German Shepherd and protected his family. He never yelped or stopped. Just shook his head.this is why English Shepards are the only are the only breed I will ever own again.
Roger - Working Dairy Farm
Roger is so amazing. I def think my husband is super impressed. He’s also impressed at how laid back he is and how nothing phases him. He brings all the cows in every day twice a day! We love him.
