WesCo Farms Pyrenean Mountain Dogs

We currently have seven (7) adult Pyrenean Mountain Dogs, and a Lab mix. We are NOT breeders – we do NOT breed for profit. We do have two gorgeous, intact males – if you are interested in breeding your female Pyr, please Contact Us.

Well, sometimes life happens. We have 8 beautiful new lives, born October 24, 2024 at about 2 am! Yes, it was a very looong night! It was worth every moment! Our gorgeous alpha female, Eowyn, gave birth to 5 boys and 3 girls. Proud poppa Hector is shown below. If you are interested in reserving a puppy, please Contact Us. They will be available for Christmas Eve (at the earliest) or preferably, after the first week of January, 2025. One has already been reserved, and we have interest in three others. They are going fast, so Contact Us soon if interested!

Breeding Time

Breeding time has arrived! We started Breeding our does as they went into heat after November 1st.

The first to go into heat was Artemis (Midnight Luna.) She went into heat morning of 11/07/2022. We bred her to our new boy HJ Summit Finan. Her due date should be April 1, 2023.

Next, our little Kara went into heat – same day, 11/07/2022. She was also bred to Finan. Her due date is April 1, 2023.

Breeding Pen…

In preparation for the breeding season, we built a shelter for the breeding pen. The pen itself is about 20ft wide by 40ft long. The Shelter is 4ft by 8ft, and insulated with straw. The goats will be moved into the pen as the does go into heat - with the appropriate buck, left overnight.

Expanding the Buck pen

We finished expanding the buck pen, and I’ve finally taken the time to post some pictures! We have 5 bucks – our herd sire, Thor (Desertnanny DE Dark Frost) and three of his offspring: WesCo Apollo, WesCo Maximus, and Hymdahl, who is available Contact Us if interested.

Fall 2022 Breeding Schedule

Fall, 2022 Breeding Schedule

This is our first year of controlled breeding. Since we started last year with two does, one being pregnant when purchased, and doubled our herd size (of two) to four last September, then purchased a registered buck and three does, and had a prolific Spring kidding season – we went from 4, to 8 to 20 by the end of April 2022 – can you say Goat Math? We did purchase our boy Finan from a good breeder, and are looking forward to adding his genetics to our herd. Below, I’ll post who we plan to breed to whom, and what bloodlines we have. Some of our does are ADGA Registered, and some aren’t. Please contact us if you have any questions, or are interested in reserving a Spring 2023 Kid, please Contact Us.
