Possum Hollow 
  Turkish Guardian Dogs 


All of our Anatolians are bred for their working ability.  They live year round in the pastures with the stock, moving from one pasture to the other and one set of stock to another as we need them.  They easily withstand temperatures from -0 F to 100 F. Puppies are born in a barn stall and move to the pasture at four to five weeks old.  All of our Anatolians are registered with ASDCA (Anatolian Shepherd Dog Club of America) and/or AKC.

Abraham is a big male with plenty of courage and willingness to take on intruders.  He works guarding the goats and sheep, including newborn lambs and kids and training young pups.  Abraham is a top quality guardian dog.  He is fearless, caring and has a gentle giant kind of personality.  He is aggressive in his work, but tolerates strangers if they are with us.  His work is his primary focus and he excels in it.  He is an alert and bold guardian and has not shown any tendencies toward play behavior with the livestock.  Abe is suspicious of strangers and will not tolerate strange dogs unless we are with them.  However he is fine with our working Border Collies.  Abe is extremely vigilant and can be seen lying on the hilltop watching over his flock/herd even in the ice and snow.  He is powerful and fearless.

Moses is a wonderful guardian dog.  He is loving, laid back and will guard sheep, goats, cattle and horses.  He is exceptional with calves and miniature horses.  His offspring are now caring for poultry, sheep, goats, llamas and alpacas.  And even a houseful of cats!  Moses is very friendly and enjoys lots of attention, but is all business when a threat approaches.  He goes with us every year to a fun run and pulls a cart carrying my young son and then enjoys the attention of multitudes of new found friends from toddlers to grandfolks.  During the summer of 2005, Moses saved my sister's life when a German Shepherd attacked her.  As a result he is now retired to the position of chief barn dog and watches of my sister, her cats, and her horses.  Moses is featured on our slide presentation titled "Dogs and Cattle."  Scroll down to see some of the wonderful pups Moses produced.

Eve is an exceptionally beautiful brindle female out of a full sister to Sarah.  She has an wonderfully gentle temperament and is tolerant of all her charges including newborn sheep, goats, cattle and my 5-year-old son.  She is exceptional with newborns already and has proven herself an effective and diligent guardian long before we expected.  The photographs do not show Eve's perfect coat and conformation.

Rachel is a beautiful and dedicated creamy white female.  Excellent with sheep, goats, and larger livestock.  Rachel is one of our puppy trainers.  She has experience in keeping coyotes and stray dogs away.  Her gentile manner is typical of a wonderful graceful caretaker.  She is alert but non-threatening with strangers if they are properly introduced.  Rachel is excellent with children from infants up.
