Welcome to our home on the web...

 

Happy New Year to you all.

 May you always have walls for the winds,
a roof for the rain, tea beside the fire,
laughter to cheer you, those you love near you,
and all your heart might desire.
Irish Blessing

At TrailsEnd farm we believe in the preservation of rare and heritage breeds. We are located in beautiful North Carolina. The base of our farm is our Estrela Mountain Dogs.  We believe that true type and temperament are very important today.
 

Proudly working with the Estrela Mountain Dog for almost 10 years. We have searched high and low for different bloodlines, new genetic depth and diversity to add to our lines.  We have been to Portugal many times, and to the  UK on this quest. It has been an adventure! We have enjoyed every minute of it.

 Ask us about our puppy yard.  Ask us for references.     

NOT all breeders xray, do your homework!!  

Our puppies undergo an extensive socialization. 
We DO NOT breed for show, we show to protect the breed and educate judges on the breed. 

TrailsEnd dogs are trained at Einstein Canine Training and Activity Center.
 
Please enjoy our site and come back often to check for updates and new pictures.

Please read our About Us page on how we do things here, at TrailsEnd.

2010 News & Plans

Happy New 2010!

Juno's puppies are 5 weeks old now.  Due to personal reasons, we have lost a couple homes on our litter list.  So a couple puppies are now available to qualified homes.  For more information please contact us. **update, there is only one male available to approved home**

This year our focus will be using outside blood.  There have been a couple new imports to the states that have generously offered us the use of their handsome new boys. At this time we are planning on two litters in 2010.  IF you are interested in more information, please feel free to contact us.

 

 

Fall/Winter Litter

Our last litter of the year is under way.  We are now taking reservations for our last 2009 litter.  Once this litter is booked, we will not  be breeding again until 2010.  For more information on this next litter, please feel free to email us! Spaces are limited.

 *** UPDATE: Juno has whelped!  She delivered 8 puppies on Dec 2! *** Check out the puppy cam in the menu.  "Juno Cam"

First American Bred....

There is something special about a dog you have bred becoming a Champion, but that moment is even greater when the Portuguese Judge gives her the breed win she needs to become the First Gr. Ch. bitch and the first home bred Grand Champion. 

Unalakleet by TrailsEnd is out of our Iditarod litter, DOB March 2008. She is out of Mitsu da Serra de Sintra by Mogno da Ponta da Pinta.

We are so very proud of her, and can not thank the Honorable Pedro Delerue enough for judging us.

 

 

On the road....

TrailsEnd will be gone from Tuesday-Monday June 9-15th.  Please be patient if you try to contact us then.  We will probably not have our computer during this trip.

If you are in the area of Kalamazoo, Michigan, stop by the Fairgrounds and meet the Estrela! 

We will be there all weekend.
