About Us

In 2011, we fill out our big dream. We bought a house in the countryside, almost in the wilderness. Even before we started the reconstruction of the house, it was important to fence land for our dog - female German Mastiff named Viki. From the beginning, we knew that we seek to her one more guard. Because we live in the Podkrkonoší and mastiff can´t tolerate the winter, our priority was clear. Find breed resistant, unpretentious, affectionate to his family and other animals, but also vigilant of strangers. A dog, who protects us and our house. After a long search we discovered a little-known Turkish breed - Anatolian Shepherd. Today we can say that we had made the right decision. This independent and proud breed has earned our admiration and our hearts.

About Breed

An integral part of the Turkish economy had always been sheep and goat breeding. Local residents mostly in the Anatolian plateau, still bread on the vast grasslands of the large herds of ruminants. An indispensable help herders are here since time immemorial Shepherd Dogs - Coban Kopegi. Rough land with extremely hot summers and freezing winters, these dogs gradually formed a very durable, lightweight and independent breed. These dogs often have a herd alone several months. They lived under the open sky on a very restricted foot, to protect herd from predators and had themselves evaluate various situations.

There's multiple Turkish Shepherd breeds, all of which are purely natural, do not suffer from inherited or other diseases. Most represented are: Kangal, Anatolian Akbas and Mastiff. Each breed is different in character and appearance. However, because in Turkey there is no organization that would control the breeding of dogs, there is not led by any breeding book. Therefore FCI has recognized as standard breed Anatolian Shepherd Dog, which ranks below all Turkish breeds and their crossbreeds. This is unfortunately a big mistake and looking for ways to remedy the situation. In the Czech Republic under the name of Anatolian Shepherd dog breeds only Kangal.

Akbaš

Its name means "White Head". It's a high white dog with a lighter body structure. It has ingrained guarding instinct and is naturally aggressive. It occurs in the form of short-and long-haired.

Kangal is specific, little known but very old Turkish breed of shepherd dog. In Europe, it behaves under the standard no. 331 as the Anatolian Shepherd Dog. Named after the aristocratic family Kangals province of Sivas.

Kangals who still belong to the upper strata of society for centuries deliberately crossed the dogs selected exterior and temperament characteristics. Precisely for this reason, it was an absolutely distinctive type of dog, which now have the Turks for their national breed. Kangals exports from Turkey is forbidden

Baša chose us alone at the first visit. She quickly made friends with our second female and other animals. How to the puppies grow in Miss, we started thinking that we would try an exhibition. We signed up Baša into MVP in České Budějovice, where we succeeded very well. This encouraged us and gave courage to send registration to the next show. To our great delight, we found that we receive from our Baša successful model. Then the idea was born at her of breeding. We succeeded.

Her mother Aga- beautiful representative of the breed Kangal, her father was imported directly of Sivas region in Turkey and in 2013 won the World Dog Show in Hungary. Kimi's father - Duman - also imported from Turkey. She's very attractive type of Kangal.

Kimi was from only two puppies. Initially had trouble to integrate into the pack because she did not know her hierarchy. After several mutual skirmishes found her place and reluctantly acquiesced to others. She is very contact, docile and idiosyncratic. Much to learn from others and with Gazel are inseparable pair. Continually "horse around" and they invent what they have done.

Kimi will show up on the show in 2015. Let yourself be surprised what you have inherited from their ancestors.

All our dogs we breed in a common pack in the garden, where they have freedom of movement. Dogs have intentionally all together to know the hierarchy of the pack and learn to be with other individuals and tolerate them. From childhood is also taking between other animals, they move daily among poultry, sheep and cats. These habits should transmit to their offspring. Every day with them, go for walks around the neighborhood, normally move to free. Leashes use only in training and exhibitions.

Kangal is a specific breed - dogs don’t tolerate gross violence; Training would be conducted gradually in a playful way. They are dogs who are being raised with love. Our dogs can do basic commands - recall, sit, down, stay. Mistake in upbringing may be of some individuals become aggressive or vice versa timid dogs who refuse to cooperate. A person they have to build a natural authority, they must be fully paid, otherwise they begin to make decisions with complete freedom and become unmanageable.

Our dogs do not behave in pens and were never tied to a chain.
