Meaghan’s experience

  • About Meaghan

    Anatolian Shepherds are a breed that dates back several thousand years to the Central Anatolia mountains where they were utilized by Turkish shepherds as flock guardians. Today, we still use these dogs as guardians to protect our livestock from local predators. We strive to produce effective guardians that are also healthy and successful in the show ring.

  • What makes Meaghan’s program special

    Our dogs are bred to maintain long, successful working lives. We use health testing to ensure we are doing our best to minimize any heritable conditions our dogs may pass along. Although not all diseases can be prevented, we do our best to breed healthy dogs with the correct temperament and structure. We are very dedicated to preservation breeding of the Anatolian Shepherd.

  • Hip Dysplasia

    Hip testing reduces the chance of passing down hip dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause hip pain and the eventual loss of the function of the hip joint.

  • Elbow Dysplasia Finals (OFA, BVA, SV, FCI)

    Elbow testing reduces the chance of passing down elbow dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause arthritis in the elbow joint and front leg lameness.

  • Cardiac Evaluation (registered with OFA)

    Heart testing reduces the chance of passing down congenital heart disease, which can cause a range of symptoms ranging from trouble exercising to heart failure.

  • Thyroid (Autoimmune Thyroiditis, registered with OFA)

    A breeder may perform additional tests on their dogs that do not fall into these general categories. These tests may be more uncommon or very specific to a particular breed.
