Yesterday was a crazy day, but that's no excuse for forgetting to wish our Sevy/Bruin litter a very HAPPY 4th 😱 BIRTHDAY!!! How has it been 4 years already??? We love you Tilly, Ness, Dürdane, Chief, Zolly and Mac!
I took in a foster pup yesterday from Nashville Humane Association. His name is Albi. Isn't he cute?? He's a sweetheart!
I was amazed... Meatball was distracted while eating, and the goat came over to steal a quick bite. Meatball chased him, and he tripped over the bucket, spilling the food on the ground. As you can see, that upset meatball, and she went to work trying to put the food back in the bucket!! I'd never seen a dog do anything like that in my life! She has an old pot that I usually feed her out of, but it's currently at the bottom of the pen. Almost every day, the pot ends up with a layer of rocks inside. I hadn't quite figured out how the rocks got in there, but I always wondered if Meatball was doing it on purpose. Maybe that's how she does it. 🤔 But WHY?
I'll never get over how beautiful Cedar Trace's Köfte Kiz is. 😍
Please forgive my terrible camera skills 🙈
I love watching these dogs communicate. Beya was trying her best to get Siyah to interact using playful body language, but Siyah would have none of her nonsense. She told her to knock it off with some low growls, so Beya didn't bother to keep trying. She walked away immediately afterward.
Mama Sevy taught the pups well! She spotted that vulture on the ground, and they all went nuts.

Please excuse the ugly fenceline. we plan to redo it and incorporate the dog shed/kennel into it this summer.
This is the reason we have Anatolians. All our chickens would have been long gone by now.
Turn your sound up!

Cedar Trace's Köfte Kiz 🥰 We love her so much! #anatolianshepherd #anatolianshepherddog #livestockguardiandog #lgds
Another proud moment with Siyah! She knew there was an intruder in her area and circled it while barking until I came out. I got nervous that she was going to get brave and go after the rattlesnake once I got out there to back her up, so that's why it sounds like I'm scolding her. I just didn't want her getting bit. I kept Siyah back until Chase got home to remove the snake and we praised her then.
I love this sweet boy so much! He kept looking at his handsome self on my phone. 🥰
Sevy and her daughter Siyah are like two peas in a pod. I love how similar they are and they really seem to enjoy each other's company. 💕
We all enjoyed the beautiful sunset last night 🌅
Katil, Maple, Bruin and Beya
Siyah and Katil found their first snake! With as much barking as they did, I thought it was every one of our Anatolians making a ruckus and I expected to find something much scarier than a rat snake! 😆 Good puppies!!! We are so proud!!
I heard a bark from an Anatolian that just didn't sound normal. I looked outside to see Sevy wagging her tail and barking at something on the ground, so I ran to check it out.
Anatolian Shepherds are so darn smart! Katil was fascinated by how I was opening the gate. You can almost see the wheels turning in his head... "Now, how can I do that without any of those thumbs the humans have?"
It may be in the low 20s here in Tennessee, but these dogs don't notice the cold. In fact, Bruin has been extra playful lately with the pups!
