On this page, you will find so many things. Below you will find a little info about our breeding adventure and links to our litters. Inside each litter, you will find individual puppy pictures, puppy pile pictures, and the puppies' statistics, such as spreadsheets of weights, deworming schedule, and nail trimming.

In 2022, I made the decision to get a livestock guardian dog to protect our herd of goats and flock of chickens.
Our family purchased Rousey LGT LGD (Dam) from an AKC breeder with the intention of breeding her in the future. She grew into a phenomenal guardian and stole the hearts of everyone in our family. After having her in my life, I will always own an Anatolian Shepherd. They are hands down my absolute favorite breed.
In 2024, I decided to get an AKC Anatolian male. I couldn't pass up the opportunity to get Ranger LTG LGD, a registered male found under the right circumstances. His litter had been abandoned on a farm by the breeder (not her fault). The breeder made arrangements with a private LGD rescue to take the litter of puppies and the parents. The LGD Rescue later rehomed them at a lower cost than most AKC Anatolian Shepherds sell for.
In 2025, we bred Rousey with Ranger. On May 9th, 2025, 9 Puppies made their debut. They were the best! Each puppy had their own special coloring. There were brown dominant and black dominant brindles. There were really light colored fawn and tan fawn, and even one Dutch-marked Fawn. Each puppy's personalities were different from the next. The 2025 litter has all moved on to their forever homes. I get updates often. I love seeing them thrive in their new lives and grow into exceptional guardians like their ancestors.
On Friday, Oct 31st, I noticed Ranger getting interested in Rousey again, so I separated them immediately for A MONTH. On Dec 23rd, I was working in the goats area and noticed Rousey had a belly. If my math serves me, 9 weeks would be Jan 2nd. She delivered 12! You read that right, TWELVE healthy puppies on January 3rd, 2026. The drastic difference in this litter's coloring is mind-blowing. There are only a few brindles, a few sables, and a couple of light fawns.
