We found the perfect livestock guardian breed in the Antaolian
Shepherd, but locating an actual dog proved challenging. As we
have done with all of our livestock breeds, we wanted to obtain
the best possible genetics. We wanted both excellent working
characteristics and conformation. After an exhaustive search,
we located one of the United States' top breeders and trainers
of champion-bred working Anatolians, Lucky Hit Ranch in Texas.
We contacted Erick Conard of Lucky Hit Ranch and were
disappointed to hear that his next two litters of pups were all
reserved. Erick was excited to hear of our farming/ranching
plans and made us a offer we couldn't refuse. He agreed to
partner with us on his 18 month old, well-trained and high
conforming female of very high breeding potential - Lucky Hit's
Autumn Tawny.
Erick is a breeder of highest integrity. He personally drove to
Oregon (3000 miles round trip) to assure that Tawny was going
to a great home. Tawny now has run of our 40 acres of pastures
meadows and woods and keeps them all predator free. Our
Icelandic Sheep and Lambs and our Mini-Nubian dairy goats
follow Tawny to the woods each day to browse on blackberry
shoots.
