Breeder of Turkish Boz Shepherd Livestock Guardian Dogs

 

Natural Born Guardians of Livestock and People

Natural Born Guardians was the first breeder of Turkish Boz Shepherds in North America starting in 2010. We worked to establish the breed here despite intense opposition from the Kangal community until there were enough dogs in the USA and many working with Kangals to dispute all the false claims of the breed. We imported around 35 individuals in the next decade and helped dozens of others to import also.

After a 6 year break we are back into breeding and have imported and purchased some amazing dogs we will be very excited to see what they produce. All of our Boz have a job guarding livestock and poultry. We are a small farm that is gearing up for meat production. We currently have cows, sheep, pigs and many types of geese ducks and chickens. Much of our poultry is and will fe free ranged to reduce feed and ensure quality. This would not be possible without stellar LGD,s to protect them.

.Poultry is our largest expansion as we now have the following breeds. In geese we have Brown Chinese, Embden, Giant DewLap Toulouse in Buff and Grey, Pomeranian Saddle Backs and our gems are our Oregon Mini Geese in regular and Sebastopol. In ducks we are raising Holderread Runner ducks, Muscovy ducks in domestic and wild, Pekin in Giant and Gimraud cross as well as Hybrids. In chickens we have Game chickens as well as Bresse, Delaware, Dark Cornish, and a breed i made called Raptors which is a cross of Malay and Sanjak.

Our goal is to not only provide a more healthy source of meat for our family as well as others but to also be able to sustain our dogs or at least supplement their diet. I could not even imagine trying to raise hundreds of fowl with many being free ranged without Poultry Safe Livestock Guardian Dogs. Not all of our dogs are currently safe with poultry as all but one were raised by someone else. It is my goal to eventually have only poultry safe LGD’s so our poultry can benefit from all of our property.

Due to the USDA APHIS laws, Natural Born Guardians will limit our focus to providing only Livestock Guardians Dogs.  

  Please call for further explanation or to check availability of puppies or adults for family protection placement.


Current Breeders at Natural Born Guardians


Natural Born Guardians has recently partnered with Urmah Kennels in Kansas to be able to produce the best possible pups through more options in pairings and shared genetics. We currently have 6 direct imports and maintain a close working relationship with Akin Tulubas in Turkey. We are currently working to import Boz at a different level compared to the genetics currently available in the USA. Size structure athleticism temperament and phenotype are our main focus. Our recent import male Barbaro is north of 37” and will be paired with 32-35’ females.

Deposits will be fungible between kennels to give the most options and timely availability of pups for the customers. Between us we have some of the best working knowledge of the breed and can provide you with the best bloodlines for your working needs as well as complementary unrelated pups.
