Welcome to our home on the web...
This is Brutus aka Bruce. He is looking for a new home! Please see below for details of this handsome boy!
At TrailsEnd farm we believe in the preservation of rare and heritage breeds. We are located in beautiful North Carolina. The base of our farm is our Estrela Mountain Dogs. We believe that true type and temperament are very important today.
Proudly working with the Estrela Mountain Dog for over 10 years. We have searched high and low for different bloodlines, new genetic depth and diversity to add to our lines. We have been to Portugal many times, and to the UK on this quest. It has been an adventure! We have enjoyed every minute of it.
Ask us about our puppy yard. Ask us for references.
NOT all breeders xray, do your homework!!
Our puppies undergo an extensive socialization.
We DO NOT breed for show, we show to protect the breed and educate judges on the breed.
TrailsEnd dogs are trained at Einstein Canine Training and Activity Center.
Please enjoy our site and come back often to check for updates and new pictures.
Please read our About Us page on how we do things here, at TrailsEnd.

Brutus/ aka Bruce
A neutered male has surfaced in Canada. He needs a forever home. He is not micro chipped that we are aware of, he was bred by someone in the area south of Ontario, but have no idea who. The EMDAA president was contacted and has been handling this situation.
He sounds like a very typical Estrela. He does have same sex dog aggression, which is normal, so if you have a male dog this is not a good place for Bruce. A small dog home would not work either. He is not a dog park dog.
He is house broken, no food or toy aggression. He is people friendly and gets along well with supervised children He is good with horse and cattle according to the owner, who can no longer keep Bruce because he must move.
Summer 2012
We have a few things going on here to share.
We have bred Una x Dourado. However we are not sure if we had any actual breeding happen, so we are holding our breath on this one.
We have decided to breed Boa (x Mogno) one more time, since she is a greedy girl has only given us 2 pups in the last litter.
We will be breeding Coy (McCoy) on her next litter in the fall. The lucky fella will be Puhti.
Speaking of Puhti, we are happy to annouce we are taking him to the Premier with us. Along with McCoy, these two should make a good showing. Lets hope he feels like struting his stuff.
The Parade of Portugal is in the works. Check us out on Facebook or at www.paradeofportugal.com !
I hope all our Portuguse breed owning friends will join us for a day of enjoying our dogs under a Portuguese Judge.
For those of you that have Estrela, please consider adding your mark to our map!

2012 First Litter
As we get back to puppy free life, with the Navy kids gone to their homes now, anticipation is building over our next litter! And we could not be more excited about this litter. Una is our own home grown girl! Our first to have puppies. She will be matched very nicely with Akaroa's Dourado.
We picked up this handsome man on Feb 3rd. He will be staying with us until Una decides to come into season.
We are not sure exactly when this will be as she threw a wrench in the plans with a silent heat (or a psuedo) heat in November. So we will patiently wait for her to be ready.
We are proud of their health scores, please check out Una's page and album. Dourado's page, and album.
We do not breed untested dogs.
There are many bookings on this litter already, Contact us for more information.
