I'm Kimberly K., the breeder behind Four Kings Ranch located in Tehachapi, CA. I love animals! At our ranch we have horses, miniature cattle, alpacas, pigs, sheep, goats, turkeys, chickens and peacocks. And of course, our Gamprs!!! We cannot have all our animals without our loving protectors keeping everyone (two and four legged) safe.

Parent dogs
Missi, mom
Armenian Gampr
About Missi
Missi is a wonderful and sweet dog when her family is around, but when we are not home all bets are off. She is a fierce protector and extremely intelligent. She only barks and responds when there is a threat, and she is immediately to work.
Tsor, dad
Armenian Gampr
About Tsor
Tsor is kind and gentle towards his family- he especially loves children. He is fierce, courageous, and brave when it comes to protecting his family and livestock. We live in the mountains, and we have Mountain Lions, bears, coyotoes, bobcats, foxes, racoons... you name it. We are in a predator rich zone and have not lost a single animal and we owe it to our livestock guardian dogs.

Breeder-Reported Testing
Excellent level
Four Kings Ranch 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 Armenian Gamprs.
