Lucky Hit Behiye Tavir of Elkhorn  Female 03
Lucky Hit Behiye Tavir of Elkhorn, Female 03, on January 17, 2021, at 15 months.
TAVIR is a Proven Working Anatolian (PWA)!
TAVIR'S excellent working ability was fully demonstrated a couple of months after this picture.
Her first unsupervised birthings occurred during and after bitterly freezing weather.
She lived with the birthing mothers and newborns continuously and her behavior was perfect!

Selection for superior working ability, the essence of the breed, MUST BE every responsible Anatolian breeder's most important breeding consideration.

For thousands of years, Anatolians were selected for their ability to guard livestock in a predator rich environment.
This ability is truly the ESSENCE OF THE BREED.
That's why I consider breeders who do not test for working ability "Glorified Puppy Mills!"

TAVIR has a perfect rear! I enjoy watching her walk, especially from the rear!




LUCKY HIT Behiye TAVIR (TAVIR)

Lucky Hit Behiye Tavir (TAVIR) of Elkhorn, Female, on January 17, 2021,
TAVIR has a beautiful topline, front and rear angulation, and the correct demeanor for a proven working Anatolina (PWA)!
You might notice that TAVIR is walking correctly with a level to slightly lower head among her goats!
An Anatolian correctly bred knows how to move smoothly among her charges so they remain calm!
Of course, if one hasn't raised their Anatolians with goats and/or sheep one cannot judge that Anatolian's working ability.

TAVIR enjoying the company of her Boer goats!
It is vital to breed only superior proven working Anatolians! Working ability is VITAL in this breed!
And the only method of judging an Anatolian's working ability is raising the Anatolian with goats and/or sheep full time.

Tavir at 8 weeks demonstrating her superior guardian abilities in the pasture with her goats, llamas, and Anatolians!
Pictured here, Tavir shows her excellent profile!
Note rather than a "stop" at her eyes (which is incorrect), Tavir correctly has a smooth slide from her skull to the tip of her nose.
This smooth transition allows an animal kick to the skull to slide along her nose and across her skull without a "stop" resulting in a fractured skull!!!

Having excellent working adults to help raise a pup greatly accelerates the pup's learning curve!
It is also another test of the adult's suitability as a breeding prospect. Excellent "Aunts" and "Uncles" make excellent parents!!!
