About Diamond Acres Ranch
Diamond Acres is a family owned ranch, located in the heart of the Ozarks. We are dedicated to raising strong, hardy animals, including Anatolian Shepherds, Miniature Texas Longhorn cattle, large framed Kiko meat goats, Savannah cats and Jack Russell Terriers. We also have a few coon hounds and JAGD terriers for hunting and miniature donkeys to help "mow" the yard.
Our Kiko goats and Longhorns live & thrive on 200 acres, and are guarded by our Anatolian Shepherds. We raise show quality pups that are born and raised in the pasture with the goats. The result is strong, healthy and good looking dogs bred from working livestock guard parents.
Our Anatolian Shepherd dogs are very smart and rather versatile. They are our main passion. They are raised for people as well as for live stock. For people we have placed them with families for personal protection for kids, adults, small pets and for live stock protection. They are protective dogs, not attack dogs and will only go as far as needed to correct a situation where people are involved. We have also placed them in homes as therapy and emotional support dogs for military and others needing emotional or physical assistance. We have also raised them for children with Autism, Down Syndrome and other disabilities.
Our Anatolians are livestock protectors and stay with the goats and cows where ever they roam on the 200 acres. This country is full of coyotes, fox, big cats & bear. We do not bring our goats or cows in at night so our dogs keep the goats and kids (baby goats) safe day & night.
Another animal we raise on the ranch is Savannah cats. They are a cross between an African Serval cat and a domestic cat. They are a relatively new breed with the goal of creating a domestic cat that looks like the African Serval.
Along with the Savannah we have 3 pixie bob cats. They have extra toes and bobed tails. Our male has curled ears and occasionally will pass this on to one of his kittens.
The Jack Russell's run the yard and pasture to help with some of the mice that hang out on at our ranch and they are a little better for a "lap dog" than the Anatolian's. Some of them really enjoy squirrel hunting and have taught some of the Anatolian's to watch the trees with them. LOL
In our Hunting dog division we have some grand night champion English and Treeing Walker dogs and will have a couple of litters a year from them. The JAGD terriers are out of some impressive bloodlines for hog hunting and blood tracking and we normally have a couple of litters of them each year. They are fun, energetic, love attention and marvelous hunters.
In 2013 we added a herd of Miniature Texas Longhorn cows. Jerry has had a dream to have Longhorns for many years and the mini's add a "little" fun. (Pun intended) They have long horns like their bigger family members but are much shorter in size. They only eat 1/3 to 1/4 of the the pasture and they are very gentle so they are great for even people with small acreage.
We are located in the heart of the ozarks on the Missouri - Arkansas line overlooking Bull Shoals Lake. We are Just north of Harrison, Ar and 45 min SE of Branson, Mo.
