Where we sit
Between the AKC breeder and the classifieds.
We're not the AKC option and we're not the bargain option. Here's where we sit, so you can decide what makes sense for you.
Spokane Farm Puppies
$1,300–$1,700 · 250 deposit
Pepper × Grok cross, raised in our living room outside Spokane. Weekly weights, microchipped, full pickup kit, 30-day post-pickup support. We take dogs back for life if anything changes. You can call or text Adam directly.
Backyard cross / classifieds
$300–$800
Variable. Often no records, no parent info, no support after pickup, no take-back. Cheaper today, usually costlier across the first year.
If you need AKC papers, OFA scores, or genetic panels, buy from an AKC breeder. We're for families who'd rather have farm-raised handling, full records, and direct access to the breeder.
Parent Care & Litter Health
Practical care, steady observation, and real farm soundness.
Our parent dogs live active farm lives and are fed a quality dog food along with farm-raised lamb as part of their regular diet. We keep their care practical, consistent, and focused on good condition, steady temperament, and real-life farm soundness.
Pepper's litter arrived the evening of April 18, 2026, beginning around 7:30 PM: 10 puppies, all being watched closely and checked daily. Every litter is different, and we do not make health or temperament guarantees, but we believe strong parent care, daily observation, and a steady farm environment matter.
Farm-raised and handled daily
Born and raised underfoot on our working farm, with hands-on handling from the first week.

Spokane-area pickup
Local pickup in the Spokane area. Short-distance meetups considered for nearby buyers.
Reservation deposits now open
A holding deposit secures a specific puppy ahead of pickup. Simple, transparent, personal.
How they're raised
Born in the house. Underfoot from day one.
The whelping box is in our living room. The puppies get handled every day, weighed every Tuesday, and grow up around our kids, two dogs, chickens, sheep, lambs, and cats. Pepper and Grok both trained out of chasing as pups and are reliable around the free-range animals now — the puppies are watching that.
The Palouse Project
A long-term project, not a kennel.
The Palouse Farm Dog is what we're calling our cross — a developing line for acreage, hobby farms, rural homes, and active families. This is the foundation litter. Not an established breed, not AKC. We're documenting what we see, placing carefully, and building it litter by litter.
Why this pairing
Pyrenees size, shepherd attentiveness.
Grok brings the size, weather tolerance, and guardian instinct of a full Great Pyrenees. Pepper brings shepherd-type attentiveness and a friendly household temperament.
At 3/4 Great Pyrenees, the puppies should lean toward the Pyrenees side in size and guardian instinct, with some of Pepper's shepherd attentiveness mixed in. We're aiming for around 100 lbs at maturity — somewhere between Pepper's 70 and Grok's 110.
We can't guarantee adult size, coat, or exact temperament. We can tell you what the parents are like, what we're seeing in the puppies week by week, and how each one is being raised.

Each puppy goes home with a simple care folder and transition kit, including records, care notes, and practical information for the first days at home.
Puppies go home with their first age-appropriate 5-way puppy vaccine, deworming record, weekly weight chart, and next-care instructions. New families should continue boosters, rabies, and future care with their own veterinarian.
We recommend each family schedule a wellness visit with their own veterinarian shortly after pickup to establish care and continue the puppy vaccine schedule.

The parents
Pepper and Grok live here too.
Grok is a 110 lb full Great Pyrenees. He patrols the property and sleeps near the back door. Pepper is around 70 lbs, half Pyrenees and half white shepherd-type — friendly, follows the kids around. Both tried to chase the chickens and lambs as puppies and both came out of basic training fully steady. They're also consistently gentle with our visitors and the small kids who come through almost daily.
The mother
Pepper, with the litter.
Pepper checked on her puppies every couple hours the first two weeks. The photos show what that actually looked like — nursing, sleeping next to the box, staying close.
Raised With Records
Daily care, real-life farm exposure, and thoughtful placement.
These puppies are raised on our farm with daily handling, family interaction, outdoor time, and normal farm sights and sounds. We track weekly weights, provide basic early care records, and help match each puppy with the right home based on personality, timing, and fit.

Common Questions
The things people ask us first.
Why $1,700 for the top tier and $1,300 for working homes?
Puppies in the foundation Palouse litter range from $1,300 to $1,700. The price for an individual puppy is set by tier — first-pick puppies at $1,700, standard placements at $1,500, and working/farm placements at $1,300. Every puppy in the litter receives the same care, documentation, microchip with QR registration, take-back commitment, and 30-day post-pickup support. The tier reflects how clearly an individual puppy expresses the pairing's strengths, not the level of care behind them. We tier honestly so first-pick buyers pay first-pick price and ranch homes have a working price that fits — without hidden discounts or back-channel haggling.
Why isn't this litter AKC-registered?
These puppies are part of a developing farm-family dog project, not an AKC-recognized breed. The Palouse Farm Dog direction is 3/4 Great Pyrenees and 1/4 white shepherd-type, selected for acreage, rural homes, hobby farms, and active families with secure yards. AKC registration tells you about lineage and conformation; it does not tell you about temperament, working drive, or how a dog was raised. We offer optional long-term updates through the Palouse Project so families can stay connected and contribute to how the project develops over time.
What exactly is Pepper, the mother?
Pepper is half Great Pyrenees and half white-coated shepherd-type. We do not have registry papers on her dam, so we describe Pepper by what we observe — intelligence, responsiveness, calm household steadiness, and a soft, attentive nature with her puppies. We chose not to use the 'White Australian Shepherd' label because there is no AKC-recognized breed by that name and the term is associated with genetic concerns we cannot rule in or out without parent panels we have not run. Honest description over unverifiable claims is the standard we hold ourselves to across this site.
Have Pepper and Grok been genetically tested?
Not at this time. For this foundation litter, we chose to invest in daily handling, weekly weight documentation, microchipping with QR registration, and a take-back commitment for life — rather than published genetic panels. If a buyer requires Embark or Wisdom Panel results, OFA hip scoring, or BAER hearing tests on the parents before placement, the right choice is an established AKC breeder with that documentation in hand. We will not pretend to be one. We are honest about what we offer: real farm-raised puppies, real records, real human accountability.
