At our ranch, we are passionate about raising exceptional animals with an emphasis on genetics, temperament, working ability, and quality. We specialize in the breeding and training of Turkish Boz livestock guardian dogs, developing dependable guardians with the instincts, confidence, and presence needed to protect livestock and thrive in a ranch environment.
We also take great pride in our Texas Longhorn cattle breeding program, carefully selecting genetics for horn, conformation, color, pedigree, and overall quality. Our goal is to produce cattle that are not only striking to look at, but also represent strong, thoughtfully selected genetics for the future of the breed.
From guardian dogs to Longhorn cattle, we believe great animals are built through purposeful breeding, proper development, and a commitment to doing things the right way.
Turkish Boz Livestock Guardians
Dragon Ranch specializes in the breeding and training of the Turkish Boz, a Livestock Guardian Dog. We train them from puppies with our cows, sheep, goats, pigs, miniature horses, and other animals to become their guardians from predators. Our dogs are born and raised with the livestock they protect, creating incredible bonds from day one!
Texas Longhorn Cattle
At our ranch, we take pride in breeding registered longhorn cows that thrive in our expansive mountain valley. Our cows are raised the right way, with plenty of space to roam and graze on lush pastures. This natural environment fosters hardy and adaptable, ensuring they grow strong and healthy. Join us in celebrating the beauty and resilience of these remarkable animals!
A little about us.
Preston and Sarah met while working in more traditional jobs, but were both striving to turn their small ranches into a full time occupation. After much searching, they discovered the incredible property in Black Hawk that was one of the first homesteaded ranches, dating back to the 1820’s. We quickly got the ranch back operational, and built homes on the lake behind the ranch for guests to come stay and vacation in the unparalleled Rocky Mountains. We are fortunate to now run the ranch and rentals as a full time job, and spend most of our time preserving this way of life. Our Turkish Boz dogs have become the highlight of our ranch, allowing us to grow our herds and run a variety of animals.
