Where are our 2025 puppies now?

Our 2025 Bear Mountain Anatolian Shepherd puppies are now a year old, and have settled into their new homes all across the country. Let’s see how they’ve grown! This page is still in progress, so check back later to see all the updates.

Bear Mountain Opal Island AKA “Izzy”

85 lbs

Pall Mall, TN

Property guardian for sheep, cows pigs, cats and free-range poultry.

Izzy is one of the girls we kept. She loves her people, and thinks our only job is to rub her tummy. Her other nicknames include “Noodle” and “Slinky”, because she’s quite the contortionist.


Bear Mountain Lavender Stream AKA “Sissy”

90 lbs

Pall Mall, TN

Property guardian for sheep, cows pigs, cats and free-range poultry.

Sissy is one of the girls we kept. She is very independent and spends much of her time patrolling, either with her parents or independently. Her favorite game is “Squishy the Sissy”, where she antagonizes all the other dogs to chase and tackle her.


Ayla II

95 lbs

Hattiesburg, MS

Originally a property guardian for goats and free-range poultry; now an apple orchard guardian.

Ayla started out guarding goats near Nashville and then moved to MS.

“We love how gentle she is with our cats and other animals. She’s extremely intelligent and can anticipate what I need her to do.”


Remington Grace

lbs

Sparta, TN

Property guardian for free-range poultry.

“Remi is a very laid-back, easy, sweet girl.”


Sunshine

“Sunshine has great instincts and temperament. We only needed to train basic commands, she knows her job and does it. She keeps an eye on the sky and doesn’t let the resident hawk near the pasture. She also catches rodents and loves water!”

“Axel is act first, think later, no hesitation. He has saved a couple of neighborhood dogs from the neighbor’s wolf dog.”
