My first Anatolians were imported from Australia back in 2004, I could not wait to meet my two fur babies and let the adventures begin.
Cujo & Neva
I met my first Anatolian Shepherd Dog in 1992 When I visited a large cattle and sheep farm in Masterton, New Zealand. A very large bitch named Beaver, she had the biggest kennel outside with a tunnel that went under one side to a cave and out the other, it clearly pays to have a safe escape route!
I spent the weekend evenings in front of the fire cuddling with Beaver. She was great soul company, and needless to say, I did not want to go home. I promised myself that one day when I owned my own land I would be adding one of these amazing and beautiful dogs to my life.
When that day finally came, the first thing I wanted on 13 acres was a guardian to make me feel secure and finally bring this beautiful breed into my world. Most of my life I always had large dogs, mostly German Shepherds and for 6 years I bred my beloved Siberian Huskies Under Kennel Akiska. I thought why just get one Anatolian Shepherd Dog, clearly, it needs some company, so I organized to import two puppies from our neighbor Australia.

I never thought that I would enter the show ring, but I decided to do just that, So off I went to learn about the show world with my puppies.
