Anatolian Shepherd Puppies 2015
***** New Litter Expected February 2015 *****
We are excited to announce that Shahane was bred to AKC Grand Champion Timaru Serag Mounir in December 2014. This a repeat breeding that produced a very handsome and talented litter of livestock guardian puppies, which are shown in photos at the bottom of this page. Shahane is expected to whelp in mid-February 2015. Both red fawn and fawn colored puppies should occur in this litter. We prioritize the placement of our Anatolian Shepherd puppies in working homes. Considering the sire's quality, we expect show/breeding prospects in this litter. Reservations for our Anatolian Shepherd puppies are being accepted now. Please read our page on Evaluating Breeders and Owners first to review important issues about owning and selecting an Anatolian Shepherd, then email and request our puppy contract.
This is Lost Armadillo's Shahane (her name means "magnificent" in Turkish). Shahane displays strong bonding instinct and guardian behavior, which she has passed on to her previous offspring. She strides to the head of the flock and inspects the pasture before the sheep go out. Shahane remains in the midst of the flock throughout the day and she enjoys having the sheep nuzzle her and lie down next to her. She leaps up the moment she hears an intruder and chases it down. Shahane stays at the fence and refuses to come to the barn if she detects any predators. She is very attentive to and patient with her pups, and has proven to be a good trainer. Shahane is calm, amiable, and obedient with humans.
Shahane has been evaluated for hip and elbow dysplasia and hypothyroidism. She is certified by the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals with ratings of Hips "Good" and Elbows and Thyroid "Normal." You may view her results by entering her full name "Lost Armadillo's Shahane" on the OFA website. Shahane is registered with the American Kennel Club.
