Our Anatolian Shepherd Dogs play an important role at our monastery, guarding the nuns’ herd of sheep from the mountain lions, bears, bobcats, and other predators that have been seen on and around our property.

The breed, originating in Turkey, is known for its majestic beauty, large size, and excellent qualities as guardian dogs. Since our Anatolians have been “on duty,” we have never lost a lamb to predation. Our breeding dogs have excellent pedigrees, with national ranking show champions among their parents, aunts and uncles, and siblings. They also have exceptional temperaments, have all earned their AKC CGC titles, and are OFA health certified.

We currently have a litter of puppies that were born April 30th, 2024, with some puppies not yet reserved. Our next litter is planned for late 2024/early 2025. Please contact us for more information.
