As a Breeder our goal is to breed dogs that are healthy and are a correct breed type. Most of our puppies mature in the 8 to 10 pound range. We breed a variety of beautiful colors and markings including the merle and blue merle! Rat Terriers are a fabulous little dog: very intelligent, and playful, perfect companion dog. They also make great watchdogs. They are easy to train, their short sleek coats require little grooming, and they are a healthy, hardy breed with a long life span.

6 Males, 3 Females

Sire: Zeki, a working Akbash Livestock Guardian Dog (LGD)

Dam: Mattie, a working Anatolian Livestock Guardian Dog (LGD)

These pups were born in our goat barn and are doing very well. They are healthy and active. They come from working parents and will receive a minimum of 3 months of care and training here at the ranch before going to their new homes. They will be exposed to goats, cows, sheep, pigs, and poultry to develop a guarding bond with them. These pups are from hard working, though not registered, stock. Mattie works here at Black Mesa Ranch as does her sire, Pierre. Both dogs are wonderfully loyal to their herd and love working to keep the animals safe.
