Anatolian Shepherd Forum:
Interested in Puppies for sale

We are interested in learning more about the puppies for sale. Where are you? How old are they? Do you ship?, etc, etc. We found unregistered 11 week old puppies for sale in our state. They are only $350 and come from parents who work on a sheep farm. Should we be suspect of the apparent low price and are they too old for proper socialization with our growing family? We learned that the parents are not on the premises because the rancher that bred them is in the middle of lambing right now and cannot devote the time to find them proper homes. Hes given them to a third party to sell. What do all you knowlegeable people think?

monitary values from their customers based on the parents pedigree, working ability, ofa/pinhip evaluation, greed. It is up to you based on the comfort level you have with the breeder and the guarantees, or lack of that they supply. The Anatolians are becomming more popular due to their AKC recognition this past year. My advise is to talk to as many breeders as possible an get as much info as possible about the breed. Go and visit as many farms/kennels as possible to see what kind of dog you prefer both structurally, phenotypically, and mentally. These dogs are not for everyone so inquire as much as possible. An honest breeder is more interested in finding you the dog that works for you as opposed to selling you one of their puppies. Good luck!!!
