Blowing Coat………

Here is a perfect example of an Anatolian "Blowing Coat"

He's one of our outside LGD's. So, his coat is blowing in the wind and probably aiding a bird with nesting at this time of year, April


As you can see, that wonderful full winter coat just comes out in chunks


Brushing will hasten its journey in blowing and feel wonderful for your Anatolian.
Noticed that not all bloodlines blow coat like this boy. Some are minimal. All love to be brushed

Here Come The Goat Kids


Our first kids this year are from our LaMancha doe, Shadow. This is her second time kidding. This time with a buck (black/white) and a doe (fawn)


Dilara loves the new kids and keep an eye on them wherever they go. And they do love to explore

Latimer & Our Anatolians - Feeding Instructions


I keep Aura's kibble in this bucket in the house. Latimer loves feeding Aura.


Aura is 6 months now, Latimer is 14 months


Doing great, Latimer. Grab some for Aura


That's not how it's supposed to work…


Aura wonders, "Where's mine?"


That's enough, time to put it away. Maybe next time Aura…

Latimer & Our Anatolians


Our new grandson, Latimer, was only 3 days old when Alec met him


Latimer was a new smell and sound for him


Alec could not help but be curious about the new little being


At 8 months, Latimer meets the new 2 wk. old puppies


Now's a good time to teach him to be gentle with pups




Latimer loves looking at the pups and their dam, Sirin, does not mind at all




Sooooo Soft…


Puppy toe licks…


Sirin is very gentle with Latimer even with a young litter of pups


Pups at 4 wks


Playtime in the grass, pups at 5 wks., Latimer at 9 months


I love this photo…


This is Lucy, also so gentle natured with Latimer. Lucy was visiting us from Oklahoma


She loved being close to him while he played


Follow Me………Another day in the yard, pups are 10 wks old, Latimer is 10 months old


Time for a rest


Does this belong to you?
Latimer, 11 months, meets our new pup, Aura, 3 months

Anatolian Shepherds and Children


Looking at pups eye to eye, Christian and Grace


Emily with two of her Grandma's pups

Nothing's better than sitting around holding onto puppies…




What can surpass the experience of curling up with your own soft, cuddlie, loving Anatolian puppy.






Conformation classes begin…


That was exhausting…
