Here at NEK Caucasians, we are planning a litter of Russian Mountain Dog
puppies for early spring 2023.
This winter we will be breeding two new dogs that we have had since
infancy.
The male is a huge dark 3 year old Caucasian with a black mane called
Fenrir. He is the son of King Solomon and not related to his mate who
is from Bulgaria.
Our female’s name is Gypsy Girl and she was born in the US from a
Bulgarian female, who also has a lot of black on her face and chest. We
have had Gypsy since she was 6 weeks old and now she is also 3 years old.
Before any mating takes place, both dogs will be taken to the artificial
insemination center. Gypsy Girl will get checked out for pup viability
and any reproductive abnormalities.
Fenrir will have his sperm count tested to ensure he can impregnate a
female successfully.
If everything goes well, we will be expecting puppies in early spring.
If one of the dogs is not ready, we can always fall back on our regular
daddy dog King Solomon and his current mate Natasha, who has had 2
previous litters with King Solomon these past two years.
All dogs are AKC Foundation registered and it is our policy to only
breed a female three times in her lifetime. Many of you may remember
Queen of Sheba who was King Solomon’s firs mate and is now retired and
still lives here at our farm.
Our dogs are known for their large size, loyalty and temperament
although they are afraid of nothing.
If you would like a pup or one of our rescues, we are taking names to
create a list now.
You will not be asked for a deposit until our female is bred.
Update 07/06/2022
It’s been a long time since I have posted an update. Spring and summer has been extremely busy between the pups and rescues!
I have only one beautiful female left. The prospective family backed out at the last minute.
I have several rescues that would love forever homes.
Please feel free to contact me if you have any interest!
Be well and be safe everyone!!
Update 05/26/2022
Why a Caucasian Ovcharka might be the right dog for you
Caucasian Mountain Dogs are both observant and intelligent. They can
sense outside danger even from inside your house or barn and will alert
you. Extremely loyal, these dogs will purposely lay in egress or exit
points of your house in order to protect you, and deter people they do
not know.
This means you may have to step over one if they are guarding your
doorway or other bottlenecks in your house, like your porch or back
entrance.
These dogs will instinctively bark at strangers they see out the window
or hear near your house. Always, they will follow your cue. If you
know these people and greet them, the dog will cease barking, stand
down and relax, but they probably will not leave your side. Instead
they will lean into you, to let you know your are in good hands (or paws).
Caucasians are great watch dogs outside too. They will patrol the fence
line or perimeter of your property and alert you to any danger. We once
had one of our females catch and kill a sparrow hawk she perceived as
danger, as it was in a tree close to our house.
Looking for protection? This is the right dog. Many of them are
trained as service dogs, and to help people with disabilities. We sell
many dogs to retired Veterans.
Lastly, this dog is full of fierce love for you and your family. Imprint
them to you early, even young puppies. With the right positive
reinforcement and training, your 10 pound pup will become your 150 pound
dog, loyal to you for life.
Update 03/12/2022
Natasha and I had a very long, treacherous drive through the blizzard conditions here in northern Vermont for an ultrasound. The trip was well worth it! She has a belly full of puppies and she will be due approximately April 9th.
We made it home safe and sound and she is outside enjoying the late season snow. I myself, am staying indoors and dreading shoveling!
Please feel free to contact me if you would like to be on the waiting list.
Update 02/15/2022
I hope everyone had an enjoyable Valentines and Super Bowl!
As of today, I am only accepting one more deposit for the upcoming litter until I have an ultrasound performed in about twenty days. I still have my list of possible forever homes.
Please contact me if you would like to be on the list!
Update 02/11/2022
After several exciting days and help with the veterinary staff Natasha and Solomon will become parents!
The litter will arrive around Easter, but I will get a better date after she has her ultrasound in twenty days.
I have six deposits for forever homes and I am willing to take only a couple more.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions you may have!
Natasha with the staff!Just waiting!Solomon has had a long couple of days!He wants to go home!
Update 02/11/2022
Fenrir is a pup from one of Sheba’s early litters. He was pick of the
litter and we love his dark features and size.
He reminds us of Sheba — especially the way her colors can go from very
light to very dark as the seasons change!
Approaching three years old, Fenrir is ready to mate.
He will be our new sire when we retire Solomon, but this pup is
available for stud service right now.
He is going crazy because we have 3 females in heat at the farm, but we
are only going to breed one: Natasha with Solomon.
If you have a Caucasian your would like to breed to ours, please let us
know.
We have an artificial insemination center nearby, and can help take care
of all the details.
That Face!Fenrir!
Update 02/04/2022
We’re having Pups!
We took our dam Natasha to our usual artificial insemination veterinary
this morning her progesterone levels were highly elevated.
We will be bring in our sire King Solomon on Monday.
If you want a puppy, now is the time to put down your deposits and get
in line!
We will be taking just three more deposits unless the ultrasound shows
many more pups.
We are hoping for 10 puppies, just like last spring! Five pups have
deposits.
Parents on premises — Please come up to see our Russian Mountain Dogs!
Update 02/01/2022
The Puppies Are Coming!
We are expecting our litter of Caucasian Ovcharkas around Easter!
Natasha is our dam — this will be her second litter.
We are hoping for great off colors!
Last year we had 2 rare black pups and a pure white one who looks like a
Grand Pyranees but much larger.
King Solomon is our sire – this will be his 5th litter.
We are taking deposits of $250 which guarantees an AKC foundation pup.
Right now we have 5 deposits and are looking for 3 more.
Want a pup? Give Tim a call at 802 473 8010!
Want to come see dogs? Parents and relatives are on the premises.
Natasha’s previous litter!Cute pups!Snuffles!
Update 01/28/2022
Thank you for your interest in our Russian Caucasian Ovcharka puppies!
Our female Natasha spent the afternoon at the artificial insemination
center with good news. She has been showing signs of heat, so will be
bred as soon as possible.
We have 3 confirmed deposits on puppies that we will be expecting right
around Easter, just like last year.
The parents will be the same and both AKC foundation dogs with papers:
King Solomon who has fathered four litters of puppies and Natasha who
has given birth to one litter so far.
If you would like a pup, we are accepting deposits of $250 per puppy.
You will get to choose your pup in the order we receive your deposit.
This is the only litter we are expecting this year, so please contact us
now if you are interested. Both parents and pups from other litters are
available if you would like to visit.
Natasha…one of my Dams!King Solomon!
Update 01/12/2022
This year is off to a cold start! Solomon and Natasha don’t seem to mind it one bit.
They love being together and frolicking in the snow for hours.
Looking forward to spring already and the excitement it will bring!
I am quite pleased with the progress my rescues have made. They both changed from unpredictable aggressive dogs into calm obedient and very loving dogs here in the household.
One of them is ready for a forever single animal home preferably with no kids.
Stay safe and healthy everyone!
Solomon&Natasha!The King and His Lady!He follows here everywhere!Everywhere!

Update 10/23/2021
This is my Gypsy Girl! She is from Bulgaria and has grown into a wonderful girl.
She is extremely tall and full of life! Her colors are incredible, the grays and blacks on her chest and forelegs are astonishing.
When she gets old enough, I bet she will have beautiful pups!
Gypsy Girl!On the move!
Update 10/08/2021
I am very lucky to see one of my rescues almost everyday with her forever family. It’s wonderful to see the changes she has made.
To see Chloe flourish and enjoy people and love her daily walks is extremely heartwarming considering when she came from the shelter she wouldn’t trust anyone and was quite aggressive when asked to do anything.
Mike and Chloe!She knows my truck!I love watching her being so happy!
Update 10/07/2021
I have a young dog that came to me for aggressive behavior many months ago. She also had a condition referred to as “cherry eye”. I think that it might have been part of her issues. The veterinarian did a fantastic job on her surgery and she has made huge advances in her attitude.
Sky is a very sweet girl that loves to sleep at the foot of the bed and snuggle on the couch. She would love a home with preferably no kids and no other household pets. She does like people,but is wary of those she does not know.
Please contact me if you might be interested!

This is Ivan! He is a pup from my very first litter that came back to me due to a family break-up. I am lucky enough to be able to rehome him with his full sister Lil’Bear!
I did not want either of these to sweet pups to leave, but I know the home where Lil’Bear is and that she would love to have her brother with her. They haven’t seen each other in several months and I’m sure tails are going to wag!
Ivan the Terrible!He’s never terribleHe’s just a sweetheart!I like this!

Sleepy!Very Sleepy!Breakfast!Dig in!
Almost a year ago a rescue center contacted me about a Caucasian that they were having a very difficult time finding a home for. Chloe is here and doing just fine! She still has some issues, but she trusts me and I her so it works. The rescue center contacted me today asking me about her. The volunteers apparently ask about her frequently.
Chloe is in the center!Samson stayed by the tree!

Sheba did a wonderful job!
She had TWELVE healthy pups! She was a real trooper, tending to those pups all day and night.
Two of the pups are spoken for and the forever homes are getting frequent updates.
My other beasts know something magical has been going on inside. I love watching the other dogs behavior change when they sense and smell new beginnings.
I would love to speak with any interested families about forever homes for these pups!

Welcome Back Fenrir!
It is with great pleasure that we welcome Fenrir, the male pup that was
our 2020 Ground Hog’s Day pick of the litter back into our fold.
Fenrir is a black masked fawn puppy 6 months old who was the largest
male from Sheba and Solomon’s 2020 litter this spring.
He was purchased by a couple from Maine who fell upon hard economic
times due to job loss caused by the pandemic.
Unselfishly, they contacted us requesting that we might help offer the
life this large breed puppy deserves.
Fenrir is not for sale, but we are hoping to breed him to our Bulgarian
Princess Gypsy Girl one day.
Hi there!Who wants kisses?!?Where’s my treats?
Update 07/02/2020
I am back from a crazy trip!

Hello everyone! My apologies for not updating my posts.
I am currently packing for a trip to acquire a mate for Samson and will be returning in a couple of weeks. Sheba has had two wonderful litters and I plan on having only one more with her.
It seems so strange not to have any pups underfoot!! The other sweet beasts don’t mind since they get extra attention now.

Update 05/26/2020
It’s a bittersweet time here at the kennel. All of my pups have gone to their forever homes! I did not expect them all to be gone so quickly. It was wonderful to meet all of the families.
I intend to have one more litter with Sheba later this fall. I am in the planning phase of going on a trip to acquire another female in the next couple of weeks.
Thank you to all the families that did make the journey and also thank you to everyone that showed interest in my dogs and pups. I will continue to update my site with progress of the rescues and all the dogs enjoying the summer that has finally arrived.
I am not taking deposits on the next litter, but I am taking reservations.
Thank you everyone!!

It has been a strange couple of weeks! A positive aspect is that the four remaining girls have been getting even more attention. They really are at the stage to bond with a family and get individual TLC. Their personalities are showing rapidly and I love them all beyond words.
My own pets and rescues, along with the sweet pups has given me much joy in these uncertain times.

Starting this weekend you can visit these beautiful puppies!
Update 02/02/2020: The litter has arrived! I will be posting photos of the pups just as soon as they get up and running around!
Update 01/01/2020: We are expecting our 2020 litter of Caucasian Ovcharkas the last day of January! Ring in the new year with one of our purebred pups — we are taking reservations now! For more information, contact Tim at tcmarschke@gmail.com or give us a call at 802 473 8010.
Our registered male (Sire) King Solomon and Queen of Sheba (Dam) had a litter of puppies last Christmas Eve here in the Northeast Kingdom. We sold 7 of the 9 puppies and kept a breeding female (Grey Girl, grizzle like her mother) and the runt Lil Bear whom we have had spayed and she is a family pet. Both pups have had obedience training and we have Grey Girl for sale or trade.
Our big news is that we have a new stud, who is King Solomon’s full brother, Samson. Samson not only has the breeding and stature to be a sire, but he has just turned 2 years old and is a Blue Boy, meaning he is gray with gray blue eyes. He has been through obedience training, has his certificate, and is AKC registered.
We plan to breed Samson and Sheba this fall and will hopefully be expecting Sheba to whelp between Christmas Day and New Year’s Day. These will be pure bred puppies born to AKC registered parents and new owners will be free to register them.
If you are interested, please let us know. We will not be taking deposits until Sheba’s ultrasound shows the number of puppies, which will be 20 days after conception. We will not know the color until the pups are born. All puppies that are Grizzle or Fawn will cost the same as last year, which was $2,500 independent of gender.
A blue puppy, male or female will be more — we have only ever seen one and we own him.
Our dogs are well socialized, live at our farm with us, and are wonderful water dogs — we live on a river, please view some of our Dog videos if you’d like to see the puppies swim.
They are protective, loving, very intelligent and great family dogs. They tend to get quite large — even our female weighs 135 and the big boys 175 – 180 pounds.
