WHAT PEOPLE SAY
Find out more about us through our community.
Tribble Hill Farm has been here for me every step of the way while I build up my homestead. I have gotten multiple Gamprs from them who have been the most wonderful working and family dogs! They are the best! Their guidance when it comes to training, health, and anything farm related is invaluable! They're always available when I have questions and have helped me along the way for many years.
I will soon be getting some KuneKune pigs from THF and have already learned so much from them just from my incessant questioning. They make sure to put the health, happiness and best interest of their animals first, showcasing their love for what they do. I am forever grateful to have found such a wonderful farm and wonderful family to help me along the way as I grow my own.​​

Tribble Hill Farm has been such a great mentoring resource to our farm. Whether it’s goats, pigs or livestock guardians, they are there to help and encourage homesteading. Real world knowledge is key in making a farm self sustaining and Tribble Hill is willing to share their experiences. That time saved is invaluable for busy farm life.

I first talked to Tribble Hill Farm in 2022 when I inquired about their dogs on Facebook. I wasn't yet ready to add another LGD to our pack, but I knew the time was coming, as our lead dog was aging, so I was looking into our options. We have rescued all of our LGDs previously, and I knew we wanted a well-bred dog from health tested parents this go-round as we were looking to invest in some quality livestock.
After months of research into breeders in our area (North Texas), I was not satisfied with the dogs or the quality of the breeders we communicated with. We raise our LGDs underfoot, and it was important to us to work with a breeder who aligned with our values on raising and training these incredible dogs as well as the standard of medical and preventative care they receive while in the care of the breeder.
We found all that and more in our friends at Tribble Hill! They are ALWAYS there when needed, to mentor/guide you or even just to commiserate on the highs and lows that raising livestock brings.
Together we discussed my farm set up, my goals and my expectations of the new puppy and we were matched with our guy Kirkhan. He was not my first choice just by photos, but he has FAR surpassed our expectations and at just 9 months old, has already proven his solid working instincts. He is a stable, well-rounded dog that has been an absolute joy to raise. He has a strong work ethic, and a devotion to his charges I have never experienced before. We adored Kirkhan and Tribble Hill so much, we now have the privilege of sharing our lives and farm with TWO Gamprs instead of one! And we have no plans on stopping there.
What I didn't realize about our other LGDs is that they operate as farm guardians rather than true LGD. They will not allow anything to breach the fenceline, but they only tolerate the stock. Our Gamprs have a gentle, loving nature with the animals and have a really strong bond with them.
We also had the pleasure of working with THF for the acquisition of a quality starter herd of KuneKune hogs to get our pastured pork program going. We were so thrilled with the animals we received; we also chose THF when we were ready to start with Nigerian Dwarf dairy goats! They are ALWAYS willing to share their knowledge and expertise and have a special interest in helping new farmers get started raising their own food.
Tribble Hill Farm is the real deal. Their commitment to the Gampr breed and to every Gampr that is produced on their farm (and beyond) is obvious in every interaction with them. We are so thrilled to count them as our friends, and to be a part of the amazing Gampr community.
Just buy the puppy. Or the goats. Or the pigs. Or the plants. You won't regret it!

We are fortunate to own two Gamprs from THF. Not only were the dogs cared for on the front end but they have always been there with guidance and support along the way. They’re always just a phone call or message away for any questions you may have. THF has well established network among the farm community so their knowledge and resource base is vast. It’s not just a purchase you’re making from THF, you truly become a part of that community they have built.

In 2022 we purchased a19-acre farm in Tennessee to pasture our horses. We built a barn, added fencing, and eventually added goats. If you have livestock you need Livestock Guardian Dogs, so after researching, we purchased our first Gampr from Tribble Hill Farm and they became our mentor on all things Gampr. We were so impressed with this breed that we purchased a second from THF. They have answered all of our questions and we've had a lot of questions! From the best fencing to the best feed for the Gamprs, they have all the knowledge and very willing to share.
We also added several Nigerian Dwarf goats from THF with the instructions needed to be successful goat owners. Then recently, our Gampr delivered eleven puppies and they've walked us through so much, including feeding advice when the smaller ones weren't getting enough milk, training tips, AGCA registration, and endless other questions. There were several times that we were overwhelmed and wanted to throw in the towel but the advice and encouragement from THF helped us to be successful instead.​

Tribble Hill Farm has been a dream to work with since the beginning! We’re just starting our journey with Armenian Gamprs as we recently purchased our first Gampr puppy in August, and Tribble Hill Farm made the process so easy. After explaining our goals, I felt extremely confident in them to pick out the perfect pup for us, and we truly couldn’t have asked for a better puppy. He is constantly amazing us and makes us wish we would have found Tribble Hill Farm sooner. I’m excited that my family will have lifelong, ongoing support and guidance from Tribble Hill Farm, and we’ll definitely be lifelong Gampr owners.

I am happy to share my experience with Tribble Hill Farm and the wonderful Armenian Gampr dogs they raise. Their passion for this incredible breed is truly inspiring, and it shows in every aspect of their breeding program. Each dog is not only beautifully bred but also well-socialized and loved. THF takes the time to ensure that every puppy is placed in a nurturing environment, matching them with families that will appreciate their unique qualities.
The knowledge and expertise they have with the Armenian Gamprs is unparalleled. They are always happy to share insights on the breed's history, temperament, and care needs, making it clear that they are committed to educating potential owners. I wholeheartedly recommend working with Tribble Hill to anyone looking to welcome an Armenian Gampr into their home. You can trust that you will receive a healthy, happy puppy that has been raised with love and dedication. Thank you, THF for being such a fantastic breeder and advocate for this magnificent breed!

My life took a turn and I decided to go off grid at a very remote piece of land in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. My lifestyle had always been driven by my love of the outdoors and nature. With my acreage I have a vision of small self sustaining farm with garden, animals etc. I love to run and sometimes I find myself running in complete darkness in the middle of winter with all the predators about. Don’t get me wrong, I love all of nature’s creatures including the predators, however, I’d rather they not come to close to me or my farm. Hence the Gampr! I’ve researched for years the perfect guardian dog for my lifestyle and it was a hands down Gampr for me in the end. A mix of love, courage, dedication, and brains. These dogs are amazing.
I found Tribble Hill Farm and that was it, I knew I had my kind of people with ethics and vision. I was right, these folks have been with me all the way! New to the breed and type of dog, I’ve had many questions and it’s been a learning process for me, but without a doubt I would like no other breeder and partner other than Tribble Hill. And as far as my Bailee, she’s all that I dreamed of and more. A dog full of heart, courage and a bit of humor mixed in with all of her personality. She makes me smile and gives me a sense of confidence here on my Boones Farm, and on my dark morning runs that I’ve not had before. And I have all the predators in my woods including wolves, black bear, coyote, bobcat and there’s even been some cougar moving through. Thank you Tribble Hill Farm and Gamprs!

Sometimes in life the stars align. This time we got lucky! We were looking for a livestock guardian dog
(LGD) to protect our investments at Tinsel Grove. I had very limit exposure or knowledge of the various types of LGDs but did a lot of research and thought I’d settled on the breed of choice. Still, there was something missing based on the description of the breed characteristics. One day I stumble across the word “Gampr” and looked up a photo. I was in awe of these wonderful beasts!
A search for Gampr breeders led me to Tribble Hill Farm. I made a call and left a message, and within minutes they returned my call and made time to answer my onslaught of questions. The timing was perfect as they had a current litter of available pups. We sent a deposit and anxiously awaiting our new protector, farmhand, and family member. We decided to name him Raffi.
During that time THF kept us updated with photos and information about Raffi’s personality, weight, and development. We were especially thrilled to see photos of him and his littermates in early training with chickens and other livestock as they were being weaned.
The memory of arrival day has been one of the most exciting! They even helped recommend transport companies. Seeing Raffi for the first time melted our hearts. He was the biggest teddy bear from Day 1. It has been so fun watching him grow into a best friend. I can’t imagine our lives without him!
Since that time, Tribble Hill has continuously been available via text and phone calls to answer training
and health questions and guide us through the process of first-time LDG partnership. Additionally, there
have been several times that we have asked goat related questions to help with our herd. Tribble Hill is
full of integrity! I know of a few occasions where they have sacrificed financial gain for the sake of
placing the right dogs with the right families. That’s something you don’t see with every breeder. We
have made a new friend in Tribble Hill. Our lives are better after having known Heather and William!
They are the true stars!

A couple of years ago I became aware of the livestock Guardian dogs. On doing more research I found their were several different breeds, so I joined a group to learn more about the different breeds. The Armenian Gampr wasn't talk about much on that group. But I happen to see a post by Tribble Hill Farm. I found the Gampr to be a beautiful dog, however I took my time and did my research. THF took the time to answer 100's of questions with patience while I decided if this was the breed for me.
Over a year I learned all I could, and made the decision to purchase a puppy. It was the best decision I could have made. This breed is remarkable at being pets, companions and outstanding guardian dogs. THF takes pride in keeping this breed pure and attached to its roots. The breed still takes training and bonding, but if it's a LGD you are looking for, research this remarkable breed, and find a breeder as dedicated and honest as Tribble Hill Farm.

Tribble Hill Farm has been wonderful to work with! Their Gamprs are not only beautiful, but ethically bred through health and temperament testing. Puppies are carefully chosen to match your needs and my girl has turned out to be exactly the dog I said I was looking for. I was so happy with my experience getting a Gampr, that I returned to THF for Nigerian Dwarf goats.
As a first-time LGD and goat owner, I was seeking not just a breeder, but also a mentor and THF is exactly that. They have been there for me every step of the way with any question that I have about dogs and goats. I feel like I can go to them at any time, no matter what kind of help I need and they are so supportive. I know we will be working together for years to come!

My family and I are so thankful for Tribble Hill Farm. Words can’t even touch how grateful my family is. We have been Gampr owners now for about four years. We have three beautiful Gamprs. Two of them come from Tribble Hill. We also purchased three precious Nigerian Dwarf Goats. They are all the sweetest babies!
Being new to the Gampr community THF was there from the beginning to help us and guide us in learning how to properly care for the Gampr breed. They have ALWAYS been there for us when we had questions about our Gamprs or our goats. Just one text or call away. Whether it was about healthy food choices for them, how to properly introduce livestock to the dogs, breeding questions… I can list so many things. They’ve been so very professional and helpful in so many ways that it would take forever to list everything.
Tribble Hill as a breeder is honest, ethical and always desires the best for their dogs and very conscious of where they place their dogs for future homes. They are kind and compassionate. I can honestly say they have become friends to our little family. And working with other fellow Gampr friends we have made new friends along the way. I’m forever thankful for Tribble Hill Farm.

I’m Andrea Kasper of Crosswinds Farm & Cattle Co of Kenyon MN Without Tribble Hill Farm and their patience and knowledge, this farm wouldn’t be the same. I contacted them 5 years ago when I was on the search for a breed of dog that would not only fit the farm criteria of livestock conservation, but also be a great fit for what we are asking of the dogs work wise. Since that initial phone call, we have spoke countless times on many subjects because they're a wealth of knowledge and an amazing mentor.
With the help of THF and their connections, we got some of the best Gamprs out of Armenia and are deeply in love and can’t wait to have one in every color. Our customers come to our on farm store and they can’t wait to meet the rare breed of dog every time. The cattle, pigs, donkeys, sheep, and chickens have never been more protected and we have had zero loss. THF is an amazing resource and their farm is prime example of that.
