Raised among horses.
No trick, just farm life.

My puppies grew up from the start in the stable right next to the horses. So they know horses from the very beginning, and that's an invaluable advantage for anyone who owns a horse farm.

At just five weeks old, the puppies were already tumbling about in the hay in front of the horses, playing among them, right in the middle of it. They move around there without fear and find the presence of horses completely normal. They imitate the behavior of their parents, who show them life among horses every single day.

At six weeks old, the little Karakachan puppies romp about in the paddock of my Oldenburg stallion and find his presence completely normal. There'll be no trouble getting the little rascals used to horses!

Even the first encounter with horses was completely unproblematic for the little puppies, because they could take their cue from their parents' behavior and knew at once that horses are okay.

For you as a future owner, this imprinting on horses means you have a huge advantage. The young dog will watch over your farm and your horses as a matter of course. You don't need to train anything, just guide.

Raised among horses

A six-month-old Karakachan. A 25-year-old Pinto gelding. Both standing relaxed side by side. No show, no command, no submission. It's exactly these images that interest me more than breed myths.

Splitting the work

Protective behavior

Sun was five months old. One gelding wanted to drive the other away. That's when this little female stepped in between them — in front of an animal that outweighed her twentyfold. She instinctively keeps the peace; no one had to teach her that.
