(#2 AKC Breed Female in 2007)

My first priority in breeding Anatolians is to breed for pups with Superior Working Ability with True Flock Guardian Temperament, Character, and Demeanor. Because I place WORKING ABILITY as my FIRST PRIORITY, my pups are best suited for individuals seeking an Anatolian who want their dog's primary duty to be a flock guardian. As a bonus (and because I also select for superior conformation) I expect my pups to have excellent conformation in addition to superior working ability!

I have produced Champions and co-own Champion Birinci's Yahsi, one of the top show dogs in the United States (proven for his first two years on the ranch as an exceptional working dog). He has been the Number 1 All Breed Anatolian for a number of years and is the sire of the No 1 Breed Anatolian and the #2 Breed Female Anatolian in 2007. In addition, he has produced numberous AKC Champions and won BEST OF BREED at the WESTMINISTER DOG SHOW in February, 2008.

You can learn more details about the dogs I've been showing by clicking the appropriate links above. You can see that they have been doing very well in the show ring even though they live 24/7 in the pasture with their goats, llamas, ducks and geese! I take them from the pasture to the show ring and then return them back to the pasture!


Lucky Hit pups are always raised with goats and llamas
and I begin the process of accepting ducks and geese.
These pups are from Sahara/Shadow 2006 litter
At Lucky Hit Ranch
