Turkay Anatolians is proud to join with Alaturka Anatolians under the Kennel Name of AlaTurkay in order to advance our goal to preserve the working instincts of the Anatolian Shepherd Dog, an Ancient Turkish Livestock Guardian that has been helping mankind for thousands of years.

Mike & I started with Anatolian Shepherd Dogs in 1997 when we acquired our first dog as a guardian to our Nigerian Dwarf Goats and Miniature "Babydoll" Sheep. Since then we have dedicated ourselves to producing outstanding working livestock guardians. Our breeding program has been based on selecting breeding stock with correct structure and conformation to perform their job, strong natural working ability, and excellent temperaments. We strongly believe that preservation of this magnificent working instinct is of the utmost importance, and we do not breed any dogs that do not display proper working ability and temperament. We now have pups in working homes across the USA, guarding a variety of livestock and doing the job they have been bred to do for thousands of years.
