The Turkish Kangal Shepherd Dog is a large breed of livestock guard dog (or LSGD).
They “Are a National Treasure of Turkey, to be respected and preserved.”
Emine (a Turkish word meaning Trustworthy) is our flock guardian. She came to our farm through a unique set of circumstances. I happen to be thinking about getting a livestock guard dog (coyotes and bears are common in our valley)- but I was thinking we would get a Polish Tatra. Our farm is listed on Local Harvest and one day I got an email from a man asking if I wanted a Livestock Guard dog. Most of these types of contacts are from people who think, “we need to find a nice farm for our dog.”- but this was for real.
It turned out that Ersin was getting a puppy from working lines, but had decided that this was not a good time in his life for this addition. He drove all the way to Michigan to pick up the puppy that he had anticipated, but then contacted us about. I can’t believe our good fortune and I think that Ersin felt the same way when he dropped her off. I do believe in Divine intervention- and this was one such time.
i am interested in where i can purchase a kangal dog in pa please contact me since i have no clue where i can get one
We plan to breed Emine in 2010- but if you contact Misty Acres Kennel (if you google that name it comes right up) they have puppies more frequently.
It’s so funny. My grandmother’s name is also Emine. 🙂 She is the cutest thing ever.
Are still planing to breed Emine? Who will be the sire of the pups? I am looking for male kangal pups , Thanks
Did Emine have pups? I would love to get a pup that looks
just like her and is a female. Also, what is the selling
price? Please let me know.
Thank you,
Olivia
We did not have puppies in 2010- hopefully 2011?
