The dam, shown to the right, is our foundation bitch, Lost Armadillo's Shahane (her name means "magnificent" in Turkish). Shahane displays a strong instinctive bonding with and care-taking behavior toward sheep. She strides to the head of the flock when the sheep go out to pasture and inspects the area before allowing them to spread out and graze. 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 or sees an intruder and chases it down. Shahane stays at the fence, ignores her dinner, and refuses to come to the barn if she detects any predators. She exhibits excellent maternal behavior and is very attentive to and patient with her pups. Three of four pups from Shahane's 2012 litter are working livestock guardians on ranches in California, protecting poultry, goats, and sheep. Shahane is calm, amiable, and obedient with humans.
Shahane has been evaluated for hip and elbow dysplasia and hypothyroidism. She has been certified by the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals with ratings of Hips "Good" and Elbows and Thyroid "Normal." You may view her official results on their website by entering her full name Lost Armadillo's Shahane at the OFA website. Shahane is registered with the American Kennel Club.

The sire of the litter is Grand Champion Timaru Serag Mounir, bred by Lesley Brabyn. Mounir is also a full-time working livestock guardian dog. Mounir protects both ducks and goats at Salmon Creek Ranch in Bodega, California. Mounir is an affable, easy to handle male. In addition to being a working dog, Mounir possesses exceptional conformation and earned his AKC Championship by the age of only 10 months, and went on to achieve his Grand Championship at only 14 months. Mounir finished out 2013 by winning Best of Breed at the AKC Eukanuba National Championships! Click for a link to the AKC Eukanuba Anatolian Shepherd Breed video. Due to his extraordinary promise, we chose to use Mounir as sire although he is under twenty-four months age. Mounir has a preliminary hip grade of "Good" from the OFA. Both Mounir's dam, who is a Grand Champion, J-Haven's Esmeray of Timaru, and his sire, Champion Muhsin of Timaru, have been tested and are certified by the OFA; both rated Hips "Good," Elbows and Thyroid "Normal." Mounir is registered with the American Kennel Club and his pedigree can be viewed on our Anatolian Pedigrees page by clicking on his button.
