LIVESTOCK GUARDIAN DOGS
ANATOLIAN SHEPHERDS
All pups have been sold as of January 15, 2008.
We may have more pups next fall.
If you are interested please email or call to be added to our waiting list.

Anatolian Shepherds originated in Turkey and were bred
to guard the livestock for over a thousand years. The shepherd is extremely
agile and fast going from a resting position to approximately 30 miles per hour
in mere seconds. The dogs instinctively guard their flock with warning,
escalating barking to an attack if a predator poses a threat. If the dog is
barking it is for the reason that a predator has been detected and is nearby.
The working parents of the puppies that we have for sale start actively
patrolling the fence lines of our pastures at dusk when predators, such as
coyotes, dog packs, etc., are most active. Since we have used them on our farm
we have not lost one goat, chicken or even a barn cat to a predator.
The mother and father of these puppies are Chance and Moses who come from
well known working stock, are easy to work with and are well socialized with
children. We presently have three females and three male puppies for sale, that
were born on November 1, 2007 and will be ready for their new homes on or about
December 21, 2007. Just in time for Christmas! The Anatolian Shepherd is a
instinctive guardian dog. The puppies that you see here were born in the barn
and as soon as they opened their eyes they saw that Boer Goats are their herd.
The shepherd, if raised as such, can make a wonderful family dog because the
family to whom it belongs becomes its herd which it will guard from harm. The
dogs are highly intelligent, strong, agile and instinctively are alert for any
sign of danger whether it be from a bird of prey, coyote or some other predator.
They are amazing to watch at work. Just prior to the birth of the puppies the
shepherds detected and killed a coyote in one of the pastures that had gotten
past the fence line and bottom strand of barbed wire.
Chance, the mother, is a pure bred Anatolian Shepherd. Moses, the father,
is 3/4 Anatolian Shepherd and 1/4 Great Pyrenees. As such, the pups, which are
not registered are 7/8 Anatolian Shepherd and 1/8 Great Pyrenees crosses.
The puppies are big and healthy, but not registered. These outstanding
puppies are for sale: Males $350.00 and Females $400.00 each. All of the puppies
have a black mask and ears with body color ranging from tan to tan with some
black hairs at this time.
Please call or e-mail if you would like to reserve one of these wonderful
dogs before they are all sold. Thank you,
Ron & Arline Stone
