I'm the breeder behind Storybook Tails Farm located in Nashville, TN. We started a responsible, in-home breeding program in order to produce gorgeous quality farm dogs that fit into a home setting. We focus on breeding dogs that have enough drive on the farm to keep up with our lifestyle, also having amazing temperaments and can quickly adapt to a calm family setting.
About Marianna
In 2014, after retiring, we embarked on a new chapter by purchasing a small hobby farm in the scenic heart of middle Tennessee. Eager to stay active and connected with the land, we started our farm with a mix of chickens, Katahdin sheep, and the loyal companionship of Great Pyrenees dogs. Over time, our farm family has grown with the addition of mini Herefords.
What makes Marianna’s program special
Our breeding program is distinguished by AKC GCH, CH, or CH bloodline Pyrenees who work on our farm. Our puppies are born and raised in our home, receiving daily care and interaction during their first 8 weeks. This hands-on approach ensures they are well-socialized and prepared for their future roles as loyal and capable pets and guardians.

Why Marianna started breeding
When we retired and started our hobby farm in middle Tennessee, Fred’s background in management and business strategy guided us. Knowing we needed livestock guardian dogs (LGDs), Fred studied the farm's needs and decided we should breed Great Pyrenees. His approach was clear: if we were going to do this, we’d breed the best. This commitment has driven us to cultivate top-quality Pyrenees.
