Meet the breeder
I'm Chasity C., the breeder behind Black Locust Katahdins located in Ardmore, TN. We strive to produce puppies that adhere to the breed standard and are exceptional in the home and on the farm. We love our dogs! We work hard to breed exemplary dogs that are well taken care of from day one and are prepared to excel in loving and caring homes. We love our dogs and puppies, and we strive to place each pup in a home suited to their temperament and ability.
Q. & A. with Chasity
Why did you start breeding?
Upon becoming sheep farmers we desperately needed dogs to protect the sheep, chickens, cows, etc. We started out with some typical dogs- GP, Maremma, Kangal cross. The Kangal cross stood out to us, she had the best of everything we wanted in a dog. And she was a cross, we knew the purebred would blow us away. And 10 years later- here we are. Dogs are expensive, they are investment. So is the farm.What makes your program special?
We have recently imported 2 puppies with a new bloodline. We quickly realized the bloodline in this country since the 70s has been concentrated so much that other breeders have no new options. These guys are very much young but in a few years I will be updating this site with their information and litters. Once they pass the necessary breeding tests. That takes 2 yrs to complete.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies are gold. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Parent health testing
Breeder-Reported Testing
Excellent level
Black Locust Katahdins reports to performing the health tests below on their breeding dogs. Ask your breeder about the tests performed on the parents of your litter. Learn more about health testing for Kangals.
Hip Dysplasia
Hip testing reduces the chance of passing down hip dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause hip pain and the eventual loss of the function of the hip joint.
Elbow Dysplasia Finals (OFA, BVA, SV, FCI)
Elbow testing reduces the chance of passing down elbow dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause arthritis in the elbow joint and front leg lameness.
Patellar Luxation
Knee testing reduces the chance of passing down Patellar Luxation, which results in the kneecap becoming displaced or dislocated and can cause mild to severe joint pain.
DNA Disease Panel
Genetic testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide variety of hereditary diseases of differing prevalence and severity such as Progressive Retinal Atrophy (an eye disease) and Von Willebrand's Disease (a blood disease).
