Meet the breeder

I'm Linda C., the breeder behind Turkay Anatolians located in High Springs, FL. All of our dogs are bred for working instincts, health, correct structure and temperament. I carefully choose the sire and dam in order to produce the best quality possible. All breeding stock are working dogs and OFA certified for hips, elbows and thyroid.

Q. & A. with Linda

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I purchased my first Anatolian Shepherd in 1997 to protect my goats and property. I fell in love with the breeds‘ loyalty and amazing working instinct. I decided this was the only breed for me and began my breeding program to ensure we would always have a few of these magnificent dogs on our farm.
  • What makes your program special?

    I work to preserve the working instincts that these ancient dogs have had for the past 6000 years. This is the most important aspect in my breeding program. I only breed dogs that display the correct working temperament, structure, and health. All breeding stock are OFA certified Excellent or Good hips and Normal elbows and thyroid. I offer lifetime support for the life of the dog and offer a full guarantee. I will take back any dog that doesn’t work out.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

    Hip testing reduces the chance of passing down hip dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause hip pain and the eventual loss of the function of the hip joint.

  • Elbow Dysplasia Finals (OFA, BVA, SV, FCI)

    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.

    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.
