Akards' Anatolian Shepherds

We raise pure bred Anatolian Shepherds that are registered with the AKC and both come from champion Anatolian Shepherd show dogs . Our female Anatolian Shepherd  Lucky Hit Bria Sessiz Arcadia, registration # WS3601612. Our male Anatolian Shepherd Chagatai Khan, registration # WS39987703.

Our Anatolian Shepherds are raised with goats and trained to protect our investment.  We have never lost stock to a predator and as you know they are out there.  If you have ever seen what predators do to kids you want protection.  We offer what you need.

Recently we have added our AKC/ASDCA Anatolian Shepherds to our Boer  Goat operation and couldn’t be any happier. We currently have a dual registered AKC/ASDCA Female (Bellina) that is 19 months and a Male (Deebo) that is 16 months old. These two dogs are doing outstanding and have already been  free roaming with the goats on 25 acres.

Most Anatolian pups are trained in guarding livestock by the older guardians. These two pups have simply relied on pure guardian instinct and methods I’ve practiced from raising livestock guardians. Both of these two dogs parents are in fact livestock guardians which is a must when purchasing guardian pups. Prior to purchasing these dogs we lost three kids and have not had a single loss since. Keep in mind these dogs are guarding from four legged predators and two legged predators as well. Bellina will be getting bred on her next cycle to an ELITE STUD, so stay posted for an upcoming litter.

The puppies in this litter are from AKC Registered parents and can also be registered with the AKC. Make sure to do research on this breed, and how it might fit your lifestyle before finding a responsible breeder with available puppies.

Anatolian Shepherd Guardian Dogs are unlike any other breed of dog I’ve known. Anatolians are an unusual and wonderful breed with over 2,000 years of selective breeding behind their unique genetic makeup.

In our experience, we have found Anatolians to be very loving & affectionate dogs who respond well to positive reinforcement.  They are eager to do what is right and please you, but are independent thinkers and may not always come when you call!

We acquired our first Anatolian Shepherd Dog in 2009 from the world famous Sakarya Anatolians in Alpine, CA.  We look forward to continuing our journey with this wonderful breed.  The first Solana Anatolian litter is planned for 2015, under the guidance of our mentors at Sakarya.

We Strive to Produce Top Quality Livestock Each & Every Day.

Raising Working Anatolian Shepherd dogs. Our Anatolians are both livestock guardians and home guardians.

Shefaro is a non-commercial small livestock ranch in Bexar County, Texas. Our primary goal is to offer sheep and goats for pets and agricultural exemptions, working livestock guardian dogs to guard herds and flocks on farms and ranches, strictly for agricultural purposes.

Our Anatolian Shepherds sell with registration papers for breeders or without papers for anyone who wants the very best livestock guardian possible.  Genetics second to none.

Our Anatolians are both livestock guardians and home guardians.  Please click on our page that has available puppies we are accepting deposits on our litters.  All of our puppies are out of a rare brindle male PHF Fred.  The puppies are exceptional.

Protect your valuable livestock with man’s best friend. We are guardian dog breeders, and breed a variety of guardian dogs suitable for guarding various types of livestock. Our canines are bred to blend in with your herd, while they watch for predators.

Nestled in the piney woods of deep East Texas, we love the farm life and the values it gives our family. As well as growing top quality hay,  we strive to raise excellent quality Brangus cattle,  working Anatolian Shepherds,  and heritage Spanish goats.  Since we live in an area of  very hot and humid summers, we decided to focus our cattle herd on the Brangus breed, known for their excellent ability to manage our extreme summer temperatures.   For the same reasons, we decided on Spanish goats and we turned to the Anatolian Shepherd to guard over the stock and protect them from the large population of predators in our meadows and forests.

I have found the Anatolian Shepherd to be the ultimate in livestock guard dogs.  They are loyal and hard working, not to mention handsome.    The pups below were acquired by Shefaro from the Crockett Charolais Ranch where they were raised around cattle.   The Pinto Anatolians were raised at Shefaro where live with sheep and goats.
