About Us
We have owned dogs all our lives and discovered the Anatolian Shepherd after moving to a lifestyle block. In 2002, we welcomed our first Anatolian, Chief, and quickly fell in love with the breed.
At a time when Anatolians were almost extinct in New Zealand, we imported Bebe from Australia and, with support from Asalet in the UK, bred the first NZ litter in over a decade. From that litter, Kubra became a New Zealand Champion in under a year.
Today, we live with six Anatolians, co-own others throughout New Zealand, and have exported puppies internationally.
