I'm excited to be the proud owner of 2 lovely girls from Heiland Thistle. I am so grateful to the restoration efforts for this overlooked farm dog breed. My husband and I own a small farm stead and after much research, I KNEW otsc were the dog for us. We have chickens and plan on getting sheep/goats/ponies in the future. Having worked in the vet field for nearly 10 years, and with a wonderful behaviorist, I am happy to see my girls grow into the amazing farm dogs I knew they'd be! They are wonderful with my growing children, help me round up wayward live stock, and are so intuitive.
