Parent dogs
Mobius, dad

About Mobius
Mobius is confined brave. He is very discerning with his barking. He has always been trustworthy with our livestock (including poultry). He loves attention, but isn't needy. Perfection.
Violet, mom
Colorado Mountain Dog
About Violet
Violet loves making new friends. She is a wonderful guardian of goats and poultry. She loves snuggling with children and goes for walks. She has a serious alert bark, but isn't an excessive barker. She's respectful of fences and a pretty mellow dog. She's wonderful.
