Livestock Guardian Dogs
Our livestock guardian dogs are arguably the heartbeat of the farm. They live full-time with their flock of sheep and goats and are charged with protecting them from predators. As development around our farm increases, the displaced predators increasingly view livestock as fair game.
Seeing our sheep and goats choose to hangout with these incredible dogs makes it seem likely that they know these dogs are their protectors every bit as much as their human shepherds.
Xena is an exceptional working Anatolian Shepherd with a perfect temperament for guarding livestock. From the moment she arrived at our farm at 4 months old, she has been an exemplary guardian while living with goats, sheep, pigs and poultry. Her calm and reliable demeanor ensures she remains committed to protecting her charges, making her an invaluable asset to any farm.
Xena is not only an outstanding guardian but also possesses a gentle and friendly disposition with people. She loves interacting with humans and is especially fond of a good belly scratch. This affectionate nature makes Xena a joy to be around, balancing her serious working temperament with a loving and approachable personality. Her ability to connect with people while maintaining her protective instincts further highlights her exceptional qualities as an Anatolian Shepherd.
