I'm Alexis S., the breeder behind Florida Anatolian Shepherds located in Drop Off To You, FL. Our dogs are bred first and foremost with a guardian temperament in mind. They are raised around children and animals to ensure they are loyal companions to those they protect. They snuggle and cuddle just as hard as they bark and patrol. They will be your or your livestock's best friend!
Q. & A. with Alexis
Why did you start breeding?
We first needed a Livestock Guardian Dog once we got a sheep farm and realized we had a coyote and other predator threat in the area. Once we recognized the potential of this breed to be a guardian not only for livestock, but for families and households all over, we knew we needed to get involved. This breed is not only an incredible livestock guardian, but a family one as well.
What makes your program special?
Our breeding program is special due to its emphasis on breed standards and being good family dogs. We handle them to be around children, other small animals, and to be on their best behavior around the house in general. Also DING DING DING... Delivery! I'll meet you at your closest airport, nationwide! Additionally we donate 10% to the American Heart Association, a charity near and dear to us.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies are fawn. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Litter update on 23 Oct. •
What a crazy past couple of weeks! Some really hard times, but thankfully, overall, some really good ones! We've had a blast raising this litter and are so happy for them all to be going to their homes this week, for the ones not already there!
We were very fortunate to be able to place all of our puppies, except Hannah so far, in great homes! We are also very fortunate to be looking forward to still working with some very special people for placements for our next litter.
Saying all of that, Hannah is still available! For the people we've been talking to about her, we're looking at mid next week for our next delivery date, so be sure to keep that in mind and let us know!!!
Thank you all for your support for a wonderful Summer 2025 Stella x Bowser litter! As always, never hesitate to reach out!

Anatolian Shepherd Dog
About Bowser
Bowser is the epitome of a guardian. Fluffy and lovable to all he is properly introduced to, he is intimidating and ferocious to those who aren't while in the presence of those he is tasked with protecting. When it gets time for work he lets everyone know his area is not to be messed with and deals with them accordingly. He has experience working with Stella on the farm defending and keeping away threats such as opossums, raccoons, coyotes, boars, birds of prey, bears, and alligators.
When it gets time for off work though Bowser can just as easily be found running around the grove to neighboring farmers trying to steal a few "good boys" and pats as he could be under some shade trying to get away from the hot Florida sun. Bowser now spends most of his time however as a home guardian where he enjoys belly rubs and being the biggest lap dog in South Central Florida.

Anatolian Shepherd Dog
About Stella
Stella is the most lovable precious girl ever. Starting it all, she was our very first Anatolian Shepherd Dog and made us fall absolutely head over heels about the breed. Most of what we had read about them being stand offish, independent, and not a so-great-companion breed, melted away and the other side, the loyal-teddy-bear-snuggly-bug shone through. She loves her lovings as much as she loves to give them and if she isn't with someone she is tasked with guarding over she can't wait until they get back! Truly a Stellar Girl, Stella the Stellar Girl, has earned that title wholeheartedly and is a wonder to have work for you.
A work horse at heart we've clocked her running well over 20mph sustained down the road and she has been mapped at roaming through the property putting in well over 10miles in a day. Despite all of that energy however she is content with being inside all day and soaking up the AC all the same! Having experience with Bowser at the farm guarding against all sorts of animals including opossums, raccoons, coyotes, bears, boars, birds of prey, and alligators she is well seasoned. When working at the farm she is currently working with Sophie, a bitch from her first litter, who works in a pair with her now.

Alexis answered my initial request much faster than I had anticipated and was able to answer all my questions regarding why I was looking for an Anatolian shepherd and if it was a good fit for my family. She provided me a chance to meet BoPeep, and happily brought her sister for me to see who I clicked with more. It was a perfect meeting and I decided right then and there I wanted to bring BoPeep home with me. I was given so many goodies along with her— the attention to detail was amazing and the support was incredible!

Alexis was very knowledgeable about the breed. She was very caring and responsive with her dogs that won us over right away. She would send us pictures and updates on Sage's transition as she was growing, every week she was bigger we felt part of it we saw her being bathed drinking water and being so happy. Thank you so much for your love of these dogs and thank you to your husband for all his help in bringing Sage to us and answering all our questions and being supportive and caring to these breed. And yes please share the picture my Grandkids love Sage.

My family and I spent over a year researching this breed, wanting to ensure the timing and fit were right for our family. When I came across Alexis’s profile on Good Dog, it truly felt like perfect timing — and the rest was history.
We immediately fell in love with our puppy, Moose. While purchasing a puppy from a breeder far away can feel daunting, Alexis and her husband made the experience seamless from start to finish. They were consistently responsive, answered every question thoroughly, and provided frequent updates that gave us so much peace of mind knowing our puppy was loved and well cared for.
When we finally met Alexis at the airport, it felt like greeting an old friend. Her kindness and professionalism were evident in every interaction. We are beyond grateful for the care and dedication she puts into her dogs — Moose has been the most wonderful addition to our family. We can’t recommend this breeder highly enough!
