So, since I haven't been around for awhile, when did you make the jump from Pit Bulls to LGD and why? Also, are you sure about the lineage of your ASD mix, because ASD do not come in black and crossing one with a Pyr would not result in black puppies...

Tasty_Crayon posted:Farmers care more about practical non-show coat than color. They also tend to be less "THIS MUST BE BREED" and more "ok bitch good stud good puppies fine" You're talking to an owner/breeder/and OMG EXHIBITOR of Anatolian Shepherds. My dogs are out of proven, direct Turkish import working lines and can also hold their own in the show ring. My youngest is from a very well known kennel on the East Coast that was instrumental in introducing the Anatolian Shepherd to the USA. She was born and raised in a goat pasture, and at the moment, when she is not going to a dog show, she is guarding her handler's sheep and poultry. I must be doing something wrong, amirite? Truthfully, the ASD community has no problem with working only breeders and they are as welcome as anyone else. The reason why someone would go to a "show breeder" for a LGD Anatolian to be exclusively a working dog (and yes, most are sold into working rather than show homes) is because we health test and provide the healthiest, safest dogs, and will always provide assistance to the new owners. However, there is no real difference between "show bred" and "working bred" Anatolians, like there has been with Pyrs, although I do know of one exclusively show ASD breeder that tries to breed for a softer temperament and show disposition. She is not considered reputable though.

Chido posted:I know nothing of lgds, but a quick google search led me to this You managed to find the personal webpage of an idiot who paid an assload of money to import "rare black Anatolians" from a shady dealer in Turkey, ended up with a couple of obvious mutts, and she's been battling to try to get them registered as Anatolians here for years. The ASDCA has refused to register them (and every other black dog that has applied), and that particular person has not bred a litter in several years (Janice last updated her site since 2011). There is another working breeder in the South that claims to have AKC registered blacks, but he also other breeds roaming around amongst them, and very dark brindles. The closest you will come to a "black Anatolian" is a very dark brindle.
