Anatolian Shepherd Dog puppies for sale in Saskatchewan

Breed history

The Anatolian Shepherd Dog originated in the rugged landscapes of Turkey, where it was developed over thousands of years to guard livestock against predators such as wolves and bears. Bred for endurance, independence, and protective instincts, these dogs worked alongside shepherds, often living with the flocks in remote areas. Their lineage can be traced back to ancient Mesopotamian mastiff-type dogs, making them one of the oldest known guardian breeds. Introduced to North America in the 20th century, the Anatolian Shepherd remains highly valued for its natural guarding abilities and calm, confident demeanor.
