🐑 Anatolian Shepherd x Great Pyrenees Puppies — Minnesota
Born to work. Raised to belong.
These pups come from serious working stock — not just family pets playing farm, but two dogs actively doing the job every day.
Meet the parents:
Rollo, our sire, is an AKC-registered Anatolian Shepherd who works a local organic dairy farm — guarding livestock is simply what he does.
Koda, the dam, is an Anatolian/Pyrenees cross who spends her days working a hobby farm and hangs out at home with our family each evening, giving her the best of both worlds: a true working guardian who's also completely at home around people.
Raised right, from day one
Born in our home in Minnesota, these puppies grow up immersed in the every day environment of our home. As they age they move outside alongside hens, ducks, sheep, goats, and other dogs — learning to live calmly among the animals they'll one day protect. At the same time, they're handled and socialized with kids and people every single day, so they grow up confident, trustworthy, and easy to live with — not just capable guardians, but genuinely good companions for an active family home.
Why this cross works
Anatolian Shepherds bring independence, intelligence, and serious guarding instinct. Great Pyrenees bring a gentler, more affectionate temperament and natural patience with livestock and family alike. Together, this cross produces versatile guardian dogs suited for farms, homesteads, or families who want a loyal, protective presence.
What to expect
