I'm Melissa B., the breeder behind MI Family Farm located in Michigan. We breed well-rounded Karakachan dogs to be Livestock Guardian Dogs and want to place them in a farm environment. Our Karakachans are bred to be superior working dogs. We focus on health, temperament, and the skills they need to shine. They are well-rounded, well socialized, and set up for success!
