You can take the dog outta the mountain, but you can't take the mountain outta the dog!

Bystry came from Poland to South Dakota and found himself the only mountain on the ranch.

It's not the size of the mountain, it's the size of the dog on the mountain!

Home on the Range!

It's not quite the snow they have been looking forward too but it will have to do for now.

It is sure a beautiful end to an incredible year for us and our Tatras when so many of the best of the best working Tatras show up to hang out and take pictures. The pack Alpha, a couple of the packs strongest Muscle, heck even the next breed Supreme Grand Champion in Show, has graced us with his presence today!

We are blessed to bring 2023 to an amazing sunset and grateful to be here to view the dawn of 2024 and all of the opportunity it presents.

A gracious pat to the heads of Bystry, Blue, Troy, Annie, Natalie, Smiley, Popeye, Dr. Oz, Oakley and the few still called "dog".

A nod of rememberance for some of those that will always be in our hearts, Daisy Duke, Goat, Zhulan, Spot, and Hot Dog.

And a huge thank you to each and every of one of the Tatras that has wandered on to and off of our Ranch. We have taken great pride in patting their heads along their way.

We are fortunate and humbled by the incredible number of Tatra heads our hands have set upon, from within the vastness of our own backyard, intact with integrity, ability, purpose and intention that the breed deserves us to preserve in them. We are honored to live with, learn from and work alongside, so many Tatras each and every day of our lives. It's invaluable knowledge gifted to us that no book or old article or single Tatra owner could ever read or recite enough of.

With that, our New Year's resolution is...We vow to continue to believe in and continue to support the success of the breed, in the best interest of the breed, for the betterment of the breed.

We truly wish the best to all, especially Tatras, in 2024. May it be the year of the Polish Tatra, filled with its working dreams and instinctual glories.
