Meet the breeder
I'm Denise R., the breeder behind Harvest Plantation located in Franklin, PA. We produce healthy, biddable Karakachan puppies with solid temperaments that make outstanding livestock guardian dogs. Our dogs are known for their outstanding abilities as LGDs. We breed with a focus on health, temperament, and drive. We have added a imported male and female pair from Bulgaria.
Q. & A. with Denise
Why did you start breeding?
A fellow sheep breeder shared about the breed and we researched and fell in love.What makes your program special?
We cared enough about the breed and keeping the true breed strong that we imported a male and female from Bulgaria to add to our breeding program. The parents of these dogs were three generations of working dogs in the mountains of Bulgaria guarding sheep.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include white and black and tri-color. 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
Harvest Plantation 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 Karakachans.
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.
