Happy Acre Kennel Our purpose is the preservation of the Croatian Sheepdog as mans best friend, a working farm dog, family dog, and dog of cultural heritage.

The Croatian Sheepdog is a breed we love dearly. Getting the breed rolling in a country that they were not well known, or understood has been a real challenge. Though the dogs are very important to us, dog breeding just does not fit into our family life. And we have past the torch on to others. Our male is still around and able to breed. And we may be able to point folks into the direction of a dog or breeder. We ourselves are not likely to have anymore litters. As the breed club progresses I will post information to direct people to other breeders.

Our main focus on breeding Croatian Sheepdogs has been working traits. As times and culture change so does the need for work. In our day and age there is much less need for working flock from one pasture to another. What’s everyday is chores. From barn repairs and cleaning, fence maintenance, to lot cleaning. A working dog can be very helpful to keep goats at bay, off a feed bucket, or off your back. This dog, “Bear”, just like his father, has found his way to help his owner. We are very proud of the working homes that our pups go to. I would add that this owner, previous to her Croatian Sheepdog, had a very hard time just opening the gate from the pressure the goats put on it. Notice she is able to open her gate and leave it while she goes about her business.

After an unfortunate accident involving a puppy from our line, we have decided to have another litter. Likely this coming fall. We are going to switch gears. Away from the modern dog world. We focus on preserving an amazing dog breed. A dog breed that was not created by modern standards. An amazing sports dog that was not developed through sports but a life of hard work. A intelligence that was not developed by obidience or dog shows, but rather years of decision making doing farm work. A great family dog that was not developed by an anti family culture. The dog breed we support and cherish comes from generations of hard working herding dogs that were bred within a family oriented culture. We breed because dogs are living creatures, that die. And after a couple of exhausting years of promoting such an unknown breed we will have another litter.

Here is a picture of Luna (Isabel when she was with us) from our first litter of Croatian Sheepdogs.

We always love seeing pictures and getting updates on dogs that have flown our coop. We are happy to say they are all well loved and doing well.

Luna’s owner proudly describes her as “The best dog he’s ever had.”

This is Mihajlo (pronounce Me-Hi-Lo) and he is my (Jenna’s) favorite puppy.

Mihajlo is not reserved yet. He is possibly the most affectionate of the pups as he’s recieved the most cuddling and attention since birth. I had to treat his eye very frequently in the beginning and he also had a hard time at survival the first few days of life, so he was held constantly and fussed over A LOT. He still is held a lot by me. He is most comfortable being loved on and loves big in return.

We haven’t shown a lot of Mihajlo because if we were to keep one, it would be him. But we don’t need another with the 2 dogs we already have that need more of our time as it is.

Mihajlo is in excellent health, no worries! The vet gave him a glowing report on Friday.

Our last litter we will have. We still have 2 males and 2 females available. All have full tails!
