Yes – thats right! Anatolian Shepherds are on the lookout for new players who can join our fantastic breed!

We are looking for dedicated people who can help to boost numbers, raise SOP, lower COI and bring some new blood into our breed

We have recently lost a player due to RL issues so we are now down to just 2 of us in this breed! We are now desperate for help!

Current top SOP: 92.75%

Current finishable SOP: Anything 92.20% and above – Some lower SOPs have been finishing lately too.

Number of studs available: 21

Prices of studs: $25-$50

Main kennels: At the moment we only have 3 main kennels: CS Riverflow, as well as my own two kennels: Ariege and Northern Lightz. (So we only have 2 people working on this breed! )

Number of colours available: 14 varieties.

Litter size: Anywhere from 5-10 pups.

Ease of finishing: At the moment both CS Riverflow and myself (Ariege) have a LOT of dogs being sessioned and shown – as well as quite a few being campaigned. This means Major’s are easy to get each night and occasionally we have majors in 2-3 shows each night.

Forum activity: We are a little bit quiet on the breed forum – but we do have a few threads that we use to keep everyone up to date:

So – why choose Anatolian Shepherds? Cause we’re awesome! :P

I have been playing SD for 9 years and have always come back to this breed each time I have gone on a hiatus. Tolians are such an easy breed to work with – they improve SOP very quickly and are fairly quick to session too. Years ago I had a 10.0 in Head project up and running – but I have just recently brought this back into my current lines (in my Northern Lightz kennel). CS Riverflow and I are also working on Gait – we have a few 10.3’s and also one 9.9 in Gait – so this still needs a lot of work in the future. We are slowly eradicating the ‘light blue’ traits out of our lines – but this we need help with

So – if anyone is interested in joining please feel free to post here or send me a private message and I can set you up with some brood girls, pups or even some show dogs as well
