Meet Our Kangal Dogs
Guc & Harika
We imported these 2 beautiful dogs from Serbia, we planned to introduce a new genetic line. Unfortunately they do things differently than we do and we Health Test our dogs and also Xray hips and elbows. Guc and Harika shown a mild case of osteoarthritis on the preliminary Xray at 1 yr old. IN DENIAL, I definitely wanted to breed them-they are all around the most rounded, almost perfect Kangal specimen. We opted for a more specialized approach and had the "state of the art" testing PennHip done, it too shown they both were NOT breeding quality. Unfortunately they will not be our new breeding line.
Kangals, originating from Sivas, Turkey, are renowned livestock guardian dogs. Due to export restrictions from Turkey, we are now collaborating with other breeders in the region who have genetic lines linked to Turkish breeders. These lines must be PROVEN for UKC registration eligibility.
Kangals have historically served as protectors for sheep and other livestock against larger predators like wolves, jackals, and bears.
Why choose such a formidable breed?
Would you trust just any dog to safeguard your investment? This farm and our animals represent our investment. Kangals are known for their reliable and predictable temperament—fierce protectors yet gentle guardians of livestock.
Meet Guc
GUC is our 1 of 2 Serbian imports. We had to name him prior to even meeting him- In Turkish tradition, Kangals are given a Turkish name, no matter where they reside. We have promised the Turkish breeders that we are friends with that we will honor our Kangal Dogs. So Guc means power, strength, force, capacity, ability, energy (we may have gotten this one wrong) and potency.
Guc is our 5th Kangal purebred. He is in the puppy phase of working things out to see if he will qualify as a breeder.
To our knowledge he is a first line of his genetics to be in this country as a breeder, as a KDCA approved breeder.
As his status changes and he is given the green light to proceed as a breeder- His accomplishments will be posted here with his paperwork as well.

Meet Harika
Harika is also a Serbian import. She too had to be named prior to us meeting her. Her name means wonderful, fabulous, beautiful and phenomenal just to name a few. It is no doubt that she has received the correct name as she fills everyone of these meanings.
The same goes for Harika as Guc, time will only tell if they will pass the necessary tests to be given the "go ahead" as breeders. So as the testing is done and all clear- those documents will be posted here under a "button" to click and view.
