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.

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.  He has produced fawn/masked and white pups.  Our own females, Sarah and Heidi are his daughters.  Moses is featured on our slide presentation titled "Dogs and Cattle."  Scroll down to see some of the wonderful pups Moses has already produced.

Abelambs2.jpg (79201 bytes)
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.

We are excited to be adding Ezekiel to our family of working Anatolians.  Ezekiel is sired by Redwing Anatolian's imported brindle male, Stone.  He will be coming to live with us soon.  He is just a puppy now but already working with goats.

Eve is an exceptionally beautiful brindle female out of a full sister to Sarah and Heidi and is a half sister to Adam.  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.

Rachellivestock8mo.jpg (83805 bytes)

Rachel is a wonderful young guardian that came to us from the midwest.  She is extremely bonded to her livestock and is a vigilant working girl.  She is very alert and quite willing to stand down any predator.  She is working with goats and sheep alternating between working with Abraham and Rebel.  She is very effective at only 7 months in keeping our coyote population away.  She has a wonderfully friendly personality with people or dogs as long as we tell her it's ok, but will not allow unwelcome visitors onto the property.  We hope to breed Rachel to Moses when she is old enough.

"Judy" is just a pup but we are looking forward to watching her and her sister, Galilee, grow into working guardian dogs.  Judy is a beautiful brindle female with a dark mask and one white leg which gives her a very bold and stylish look.  She is already working with sheep and goats (boer and pygmy) and doing a wonderful job.  She is watchful and courageous and yet very gentle and loving with her family.

Galilee.jpg (132099 bytes)

"Gali" is just a pup but we have great expectations for her and her sister Judea.  She is already working very well guarding sheep and goats (both boer and pygmy) and is a wonderful and watchful guardian.  Gali is a very striking brindle with a nice light basecolor and just the right amount of striping.  She is gentle, friendly (once she knows you're ok) and dedicated.  She stays with her livestock and is quick to confront potential threats.

Galilee is too young to breed at this time.
