Our dogs require a purpose, and we are dedicated to finding them homes where they are cared for and fulfilled. This could be as a herd guardian with a hands- on gentle shepherd, a family companion home with secure fence and space, as a therapy prospect etc. Many situations can provide a life-long purpose for a Serra da Estrela to watch over and protect the people it loves. We will not be placing any dogs in unsecure or exploitive environments. We want them to be cared for, respected and most of all Loved appropriately.
If you're a great Fit, we Can't wait to hear from you!

Dog Breed Preservation
What does it mean for us to be an Estrela Mountain Dog breeder focused on breed preservation?
As a preservation breeding program, we prioritize ethically maximizing genetic resources. Perfection is the enemy of Preservation. Rather than excluding dogs for minor physical flaws, we pair them strategically with complementary partners to maintain diversity in the gene pool while promoting a healthier future generation.

And that's why we're doing this.
We know that it's difficult to find breeders of the Serra da Estrela who properly understand the breed and are not exploiting them, or inaccurately portraying them. This is unfair to the breed. The Estrela Mountain Dog Breed has given us more then we could ever give them...
Responsible Breed Preservation is an Honor and not a Business.

“Damari taught me so much about the Estrela Mountain Dog Breed!”
Doing research on a rare breed in the United States is really difficult and this mujer is like a walking Serra da Estrela encyclopedia. Learned so much!

“This is a guide? It's more like a book, honestly. So helpful!”
Damari helped me set my new Livestock Guardian Puppy up for success with sound experience and a fun, relatable training method. So grateful for her support.
