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. Working Anatolians live 24/7 with flock animals. It takes YEARS of evaluation to fully understand an Anatolian’s true working ability. Anatolians whose working ability have not been properly evaluated should be bred ONLY to FULLY EVALUATED AND SUPERIOR WORKING ANATOLIANS!
Otherwise, Anatolian working ability will be lost over time!
We had plenty of babies to make up for it. Ookii and Joe, our Anatolian Shepherds. They grow so fast. They are being raised with a couple of goats and are well socialized. We had a couple of guests take one home last year. You know you want one.

Thank you for visiting us. We are located in SW Missouri about 45 minutes from Branson and Springfield, MO. We became involved in Anatolian Shepherd Dogs in 1999 when we moved our goats onto our new property and knew they needed protection from predators. Our first Anatolians were Pilots Peak Rudder and Sleepy-d-Acres Cheyenne. We now have four generations of working Anatolians… Select the photo to the left to view our Anatolian Family.
Puppies! Planning a spring/summer 2016 litter. More information in the coming months. If you think an Anatolian is the right dog for your family and farm, please contact [email protected] to discuss.
We have always had an issue with stray dogs and coyotes being abundant in our area, but as the size and quality of our Nubian Dairy Goat herd grew, we knew that we had to provide them with some protection and give ourselves some peace of mind. After much research we chose to purchase our very first Anatolian Shepherd to be a Livestock Guardian Dog also known as a LGD. The Anatolian Shepherd is an old breed that originated in Central Turkey. They are large in size weighing between 90 – 150 lbs and they stand 28″ plus at the withers. They are strong, intelligent and independent being bred with great protection instincts. Anatolians are a working dog without equal, they display a calm and loving side around the animals that they protect, as well as, the family and children they are accustomed to. When the time arises to be on alert, they don’t back down and are forceful when needed. This breed is well known for its independent thinking and they always seem to know the proper action for the any situation.

Birinci Anatolians is comprised of a family of dog lovers. Louise Emanuel was introduced to the breed, while living in Turkey working for USAID. It was there that she fell in love with Turkish custom amd culture. When returning to the States she mentioned the Turkish dogs many times. Eventually, she obtained Angie (BA Angora). Angie later raised two litters and two children, including myself (Catherine (Katie) Emanuel). Louise used the dogs extensively for their working capabilities in the pasture with the foals. While running one of the most successful three-day stables in MD, her foals were able to be born outside and move with ease. Louise joined the Anatolian Shepherd Dog Club of America (ASDCA) in 1983 and served on the BOD for several years. After the death of her husband (Senator Meyer M. Emanuel Jr.) in 1987, she moved her farm and her family for a new start in the Blue Ridge Mountains. She has worked in graphic design and is an accomplished entreprenuer. She has been an owner/operater of a local boarding and grooming kennel in Charlottesville, VA since 1992.
Our animals do all of our mowing and weeding for us and we provide them with a natural, cage-free, chemical free, humane environment. We utilize multi-species, intensive, rotational grazing to improve the quality of our pastures. Our livestock are regularly moved to fresh pasture and lead natural, happy lives.
All of our dogs are AKC registered and good examples of the breed. They are healthy, well loved and cared for. WE ARE NOT A PUPPY MILL. We breed to improve the breed. We will not always have a puppy when you want one. But, we will always be there to help you if you do acquire a puppy or dog from us

The Anatolian Shepherd Dog is a all around dog that guards everything from chickens, goats, horses, pigs, cattle, sheep and much more. The Anatolian Shepherd will pretty much guard whatever he lives with. Some dogs are shown in conformation and obedience. The Anatolian Shepherd Dogs are also used as companions and family protectors. Many Anatolian Shepherds live on small farms, suburban homes, or ranches where they fulfill a duty of family companion/guardian, livestock guardian. Our Anatoilans live full time with their goat herd.
