Anna and Bear - We have raised Anatolian/Great Pyr's from 8 week old puppies over the last 4 years and we love them. Our dogs were fearless defenders of our off-the-grid home in NE Washington and encountered cougar, coyote, bear, and yes, skunk...We are not sure who won there! BUT they would sit for hours while little children petted and loved on them. That is why when we returned to NW Oregon, we decided we wanted to raise these canine cross-bred livestock guardians. We have had three in all before acquiring our breeding pair and all have exhibited these same qualities of loyalty, love, and fearlessness. Our female and male hail from different geographical locations. Anna, almost three, comes from Sandy, Oregon and is guarding goats, cattle, chickens, hogs, and as a puppy, sheep. She will deliver her first litter any day now! Bear, our Great Pyr, is originally from Georgia. He is just over a year old and is guarding goats, chickens, hogs and cattle. These dogs are known as livestock guardians or "Bear Dogs" in Montana and are saving ranchers there time and money. Do your own research and when the pups are ready by the 1st of December, we'd love to hear from you!
