Guard dogs have been bred for the past 3,000 years to protect flocks of sheep and herds of goats, calves and other livestock from predators. They are large enough to intimidate or kill predators, withstand extreme weather, and bond with the animals they are protecting.
The dogs we breed here at Wagon Wheel Ranch are cross of the
Anatolian Shepard and Akbash. We select our breeding dogs based on their
performance in the pastures
All of our guard dogs were born in pastures, raised alongside the animals they are trained to protect. We advise that you not to purchase a puppy unless you already have a good working guard dog. This is to ensure your puppy receive the training it needs; humans can NOT train effective guard dogs
If this is your first livestock guard dog, you should purchase a 6 month old guard dog that knows their job. We have found that until a guard dog is at least 12 months old, they will "play" with the lambs and kids and may accidentally hurt them. If the dog will be with lambs and kids that have not been weaned you will need to purchase a dog that is 12 to 18 months old.
