Meet the breeder

I'm Crystal B., the breeder behind Joel's Farm LLC located in Bon Aqua, TN. We lavish love, training & nurturing on our dogs, greatly enjoying our highly intelligent, affectionate, loyal, protective, devoted & loving Great Pyrenees Guardian Dogs. We love seeing our pups going to good, loving homes, so we combine quality breeding with reasonable prices.

Q. & A. with Crystal

  • Why did you start breeding?

    We raise Sheep & needed a Great Pyrenees Livestock Guardian dog that wouldn’t get hip dysplasia to die early. Our high genetic, health & temperament standards found Moses & Ruth who have very loving, nurturing and protective temperaments with each other, the livestock & people. By making their puppies available for others, we now have the puppies “human parents” as part of Joel's Farm Family!

  • What makes your program special?

    When bred, Ruth lives at home, given special foods & TLC. After birth, she & her puppies are intensely cared for in our home. The puppies are studied, learned well & nurtured to not have fear but to be all that each can be & played with by people in a peaceful, clean, farm environment. After appropriate shots, they watch and interact with our animals at age appropriate levels.

  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies include white and badger and white. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

Breeder-Reported Testing

Excellent level

Joel's Farm LLC 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 Great Pyrenees.

  • 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.

  • Cardiac Evaluation (registered with OFA)

    Heart testing reduces the chance of passing down congenital heart disease, which can cause a range of symptoms ranging from trouble exercising to heart failure.

  • 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.

    Crystal was amazing to work with! We were looking for a dog for our oldest son and he had done some research and found this wonderful breed. I contacted Crystal to be put on a waiting list and had an interview with her about fitting a Great Pyrenees into our home. Crystal has answered every question we have had about our puppy. It was wonderful to meet her and pick up our new family member. We got to meet Duke's parents and see where he was raised. Crystal is an amazing person and she cares deeply about her animals. Crystal has answered all of ours sons questions about Duke and his needs. She had a care sheet and information that she gave to us along with vet records. Our son wanted to add that Duke is very intelligent and great to work with and he does his job extremely well of monitoring his "animals". We are very pleased with Crystal and our Duke. And highly recommend her.

    Our experience with Crystal Bowers at Joel’s Farm in Bon Aqua, Tennessee was outstanding from start to finish. We were looking for a Great Pyrenees with strong working instincts, and it was immediately clear that Crystal raises confident, well-structured, and beautiful dogs that are bred with purpose. The process through Good Dog was seamless. Crystal maintained consistent communication, provided frequent updates as our puppy grew, and conducted a thorough interview to ensure her dogs were placed in the right homes. That level of care and selectivity spoke volumes about her commitment, not just to her program, but to the long-term success of each puppy. Atlas exceeded our expectations in every way. At just 8 weeks old, he already demonstrated a strong foundation; responding to basic commands like “come” and “sit,” and showing a level of socialization that is rare. He was immediately comfortable with human interaction, including handling, brushing, and even paw inspections, areas where many puppies are typically hesitant. His confidence and calm demeanor made the transition into our home remarkably smooth. What stands out most is Crystal’s dedication to her dogs. It’s clear she invests significant time into early development, socialization, and ensuring each puppy is set up for success. Just as important, she is intentional about placing her dogs in homes that align with their needs and purpose. If you are looking for a Great Pyrenees breeder who prioritizes temperament, working ability, and responsible placement, I would strongly recommend Crystal Bowers at Joel’s Farm.

    Crystal was caring and sweet throughout the entire process. She cared about the welfare of her puppy as well as making sure it would be a fit with our family. She put a lot of effort into making sure we were prepared to bring him home. He was a good mannered boy as soon as we got him.

    Crystal was so well spoken and so knowledgeable about the breed and her dogs. The puppies were so well taken care of and I knew my dog would have a special upbringing. She was responsive and the actively cares about the people she is giving her puppies to. Our puppy kelso is smart and kind and so so sweet, he’s our happy go lucky guy and takes such good care of the ducks on our property and our rabbit. I will forever be grateful to Crystal and good dog for giving me the sweetest boy

    We truly could not be happier with our two Great Pyrenees puppies from Crystal at Joel's Farm. The heart and time she puts into her dogs, and every puppy, is evident. Our pups had a long journey across country, from her farm to ours. And while we expected them to be anxious after such a long trip, they weren't at all - they were social, confident, and outgoing from the moment we met them. I attribute that to Crystal having given them such a solid, stable foundation during their first couple months of life. Prior to the puppies' birth, Crystal was diligent about contacting us & learning about what the puppies' potential home would be like for them. She works with sincerity to do her best in ensuring families and puppies are the best match for one another. Both of our puppies are beautiful examples of all that a Pyr should be. Not only are they structurally sound and healthy, but they are mentally strong and intelligent. Our farm is home to a diverse, ever-changing & moving population of livestock and poultry, to which the pups have adjusted seamlessly. While eager to interact with their surroundings, they've been acutely responsive to our demonstrations of quiet and calm behaviors with every species. As a veterinarian, farmer, and preserver of this exceptional breed, I would recommend Crystal's program to those in search of astute, sound, thoughtful Pyrs, backed by the support of a thoughtful breeder.

    We are so thankful for Crystal and the loving foundation she gave our puppy. She prioritizes relationships in every way, and it’s easy to see how much she loves what she does. Crystal was always super responsive, and eager to answer any and every question we had along the way. Her litter was incredibly healthy and happy. We would certainly recommend Joel’s Farm and would also consider adding another puppy of hers to our farm in the future. We can’t say enough good things about our experience.
