Are you aware that, for your Anatolian to live up to his/her potential as an outstanding guardian/companion, there will need to be a substantial investment of time and effort on your part, particularly during the first year to 18 months, training, socializing, and teaching your dog what is expected of him/her? If you have never learned how to obedience train and socialize a dog, are you willing to locate a trainer to assist you with your new puppy? Are you committed to caring for this dog for its expected lifetime of 12 -14 years?


Please list two character references who may be contacted (a friend, person you have purchased a dog from in the past, or veterinarian would be suitable).




If interested in a breeding potential dog, are you committed to maintaining the health of the breed as a whole, to breed with the goal of producing balanced dogs that are physically and mentally sound, to preserve the working instincts of the Anatolian without exaggeration of type, size, aggressiveness or any other physical or mental attribute for any purpose? To breed only from those Anatolians whose hips have been radiographed after 24 months of age and certified clear of hip dysplasia by the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals (OFA) or Genetic Disease Control registry (GDC), and who have also been tested for normal thyroid function (including thyroid antibody levels)? Are you ready to keep puppies until appropriate homes have been found, to offer owner support and advice, to guarantee replacement or reimbursement to the new owner if you produce a dog that develops any serious inherited defect, and to take back misplaced dogs? Please explain briefly why you are interested in breeding Anatolian Shepherds.
