Our History
We started having Pyrenees only as a protection plan for the sheep. It worked and we stopped losing lambs to predators almost immediately. You cannot be around the Pyrenees without falling in love with the breed. We realized we would never go without the dogs again, so we decided to start raising them. For more than a decade, we have proudly placed working dogs in farms across the country on every type of farm imaginable.

The best part about buying a dog from a working family and environment is you know you are getting the best package for your money. Here at Uptown Farms, our dogs’ main purpose is to protect our livestock investments. This means we can only afford to have healthy, intelligent, loyal dogs running our farm. A sick dog is not out in the field working, so we breed to have the absolute healthiest dogs possible. Visitors come and go everyday which means our Pyrenees have to be able to distinguish between friend and foe on a daily basis. We need dogs that are bred to bond quickly and cherish that bond above all else so they stay at home and do their job.
What does this mean for you? This means by purchasing a dog from Uptown Farms you are getting a dog that will come and protect your livestock at all costs. It means you will have a dog that is healthy. It means that you will have a dog that will bond with your livestock, stay with your livestock, and do his job.

Bull was our stud for many years at Uptown Farms. He will be greatly missed. His personality, working instincts, and nature will all be passed on through Jack, his son.

Pups are born at the farm with careful watch from us but mostly handled by our girls. Our babies are exposed to livestock from the day they are born until the day the leave for their new families!

Our pups get used to heat growing up in Missouri, but they still prefer winter days!
