Meet Minnie

Minnie - The Anatolian

Bailey (top) and Minnie

An Anatolian Dog is large, rugged and powerful.  Anatolians are a superior working dog.  They guard  livestock including, but not limited to: sheep, chickens, cattle etc.  

In the fall we began having a lot of Grandpa's sheep come in to their pen at night with severe injuries.  Many of the injuries were so grave that despite medical care they were dying 

and being eaten by coyotes.  

We were concerned and  Master Mess Maker had been keeping a close eye on her own little sheep.  Unfortunately, little Peter was carried off by a coyote and "not returned".  

Master Mess Maker was devastated!  

Grandma sent Minnie over to the 

ranch to help protect MMM's sheep.  

Minnie is only a young puppy but comes from amazing stock.  It will take work, a lot of patience (and sadly a few chickens) to get Minnie to learn her job. 

Our goal is that Minnie will be as good a guard dog as her parents.
