Livestock Guardian Dogs play a critical role to protect livestock from predators. In North Florida, we have Coyote, Panthers, Bear, Fox, Bobcat, Racoons, and occasionally wild dogs and smaller predators. We decide on the Anatolian Shepherd as the LGD of choice for our farm. Anatolians descend from some of the oldest known domestic-canine bloodlines that go back over 6,000 years to the Bronze Age. Anatolians are smart, devoted and will protect their herd and owners with intensity.
We expect to have a litter ready for new farms in Fall 2023. Please check back for updates or email us using the link below to get on our waiting list to purchase one of our Anatolian Shepherd Puppies.
Turk and Lainer (below) came to us from a farm in East Florida that was impacted by Hurricane Ian. Unfortunately, the owner had to rehome the dogs and we were fortunate enough to add them to our farm. Turk is a dominate male but also extremely well trained and well behaved. He is fantastic with our goat kids and can often be seen napping with a baby goat snuggled up to him. However, he also takes his job of protecting the herd very seriously and is up all night keeping watch while the herd sleeps.
Lainer and Turk (above) came to us from a farm in East Florida that was impacted by Hurricane Ian. Unfortunately, the owner had to rehome the dogs and we were fortunate enough to add them to our farm. Lainer and Turk work as a team, with Turk frequently going after the danger and Lainer often staying to protect the animals. Lainer is gentle with the goats, but also is a fierce protector and willing to kill anything that threatens the herd.
