Natural Born Guardians of Livestock and People

Natural Born Guardians was the first breeder of Turkish Boz Shepherds in North America starting in 2010, transitioning from the smaller Turkish Kangal. We worked to establish the breed here despite intense opposition from the KDCA and 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 37 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 be free ranged to reduce feed and ensure quality. This would not be possible without stellar LGD’s to protect them.

After observing the decline in quality of the average Turkish Boz being bred in the USA, it has been sadly determined that they are on a path of degredation like the Pyrenees, Kangal and Anatolian. Because of this, Akin Tulubas of Bozkennel would not let his top genetics out to the USA unless we could guarantee a different level of control because with their giant size an even greater level of thought and selection needs to go into their breeding.

Natural Born Guardians is entering into a novel Breeding Model vision of mine with some other like minded breeders and Akin Tulubas in Turkey. To our knowledge this has never been attempted in any breeding cooperative. You can find a better explanation on BozKennel-USA

We will be working with some of the best genetics available in Turkey and the world. Huge athletic dogs in the range of 35-40” males weighing 180-280# and 31-35” females weighing 150-175#. Plans are to import 5-6 dogs a year of the best genetics that can be sourced. Akin judges over 1,000 Boz a year just in the Dog Shows he host as well as his connections throughout Turkey, so has access to the very best dogs.

Placing many dogs in extreme testing placements. Keeping breeding control within a Co-Op of sorts and allowing for a central decision on If -When - To Who, with the ultimate decision to rest with Akin’s 30+ years of experience. Ultimately breeding the top 25% of females to the top 5% of males. This will give us access to the absolute best genetics in Turkey and allow us to maintain or enhance their quality in the USA.

Please call or text 9033731289 if you would want to be part of a breeding program that will bring phenomenal advancements in the quality of the Turkish Boz Shepherds and hopefully return the quality of the LGD needed to protect flocks back when Turkey had Tigers, Lions, Leopards, Cheetah, Hyena, Jackal, Wolves, Bear, Lynx, and Boar.

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.

Our recent import male Barbaro is north of 37” and will be paired with 32-35’ females.

Turkish Boz female Jazz 32" — **Female Jazz 32” 150#**

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.
