🚨🚨 BIG ANNOUNCEMENT 🚨🚨
Very excited to announce that our New Zealand import, Vadi Red Sky at Night, "Skye," has been sent out on lease for breeding by Shepherds Rest Anatolians, in Oregon.
Skye is a lovely example of what a proper Anatolian should be, both in looks, but most importantly, in her stable and grounded temperament. Over the years, Shepherds Rest has consistently imported and bred solid, stable Anatolians that have benefited numerous AKC programs.
We are looking forward to seeing how she furthers those traits during her time at Shepherds Rest, and we plan to bring in some resulting puppies to our program. She will return to True North at the conclusion of the lease.
The only U.S. import from Heidi Morrissey, of Vadi Anatolians in New Zealand, Skye is a beautiful, sweet, loving, athletic and dedicated guardian who has lived and worked with both sheep and mini donkeys on our 200-acre commercial farm.
Skye is AKC pointed, with a major win.
Her pedigree features New Zealand and Australian lines, as well as American influence, including Shepherds Rest's most well known Turkish imports: Ormanüstü Duman, Durkaya's Kara Panter, Yozgatli Arap Ati, Avsar's Nazli and Çapar of Çardak. That diverse lineage results in a COI of 0%.
She is fully health tested, with solid results from OFA and Pennhip. As well as cleared, via Embark and UC Davis, of all genetic diseases.
