Meet the breeder

I'm the breeder behind Rising Phoenix Farm located in Morning View, KY. CURRENT WAIT LIST IS TWO YEARS. All of my Anatolian Shepherds are working livestock guardian dogs living with their herds 24/7. They must have proper temperament, conformation, and working ability to be considered for the program. I do not place puppies in pet homes under any circumstances as my lines are working lines and not appropriate as house dogs.

Q. & A. with Mary

  • Why did you start breeding?

    When I was looking for a new breeder to get additional Anatolian Shepherds, I found it was very difficult to find the type of breeder that I was looking for. I needed dogs that were raised outside with livestock from the very beginning. After I finally found the very few like-minded breeders, I started my own breeding program to raise more dogs in a suitable, encouraging, and working environment.
  • What makes your program special?

    All puppies are raised using the Puppy Culture program. They are highly socialized in their time here. They are exposed to livestock from the very beginning and living with them full time. The puppies learn very early that their job is the livestock. I also show a few of the dogs in AKC shows to prove that conformationally correct working dogs can be successful in the show ring.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

    Elbow testing reduces the chance of passing down elbow dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause arthritis in the elbow joint and front leg lameness.

  • Thyroid (Autoimmune Thyroiditis, registered with OFA)

    A breeder may perform additional tests on their dogs that do not fall into these general categories. These tests may be more uncommon or very specific to a particular breed.
