Crowing Hills Farm

I’ve enjoyed these dogs for a few years now. I started out by rescueing and then fostering them from mostly non-working farms. It amazes me still that people don’t understand the capacity that these dogs possess. The have the strength and ability to work hard for you. Protecting and guarding is their nature. Whether it be you as a master or your livestock, they can prove to sound out outstanding behavior. I now raise hybrids, mixes of anatolian, great pyranese and komondor mostly. I’ve found that mixing the breeds make better dogs by getting all traits rolled into one. They are most usually born right in with the chickens and goats, living like that until they are ready to go to new homes. I leave mine with the mother until they are 8 weeks old as i feel they gain better social skills from her. My older dogs do most of the “teaching” and I will work them on a small basis. If you choose to get one of these magnificent animals, I suggest you have a working farm and have the time to devote to them as well. They sleep mostly during the day and do their work at night, so if a barking dog bothers you, then maybe this particular breed is not for  you.
