      <image:caption>Xena’s litter in the winter yard. By placing tolerant animals that are friendly to dogs in the yard, we are able to allow the puppies to learn and explore effectively. If you look at the background puppy, you’ll notice the cattle panel over the gate to deny access beyond, beginning the process of the pup learning to stay where its put.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Cross Creek Titan - Anatolian Shepherd. Titan can normally be found on a high vantage point, someplace he can see all the animals from. He is a perimeter protector and likes to roam around the ranch. In the morning and evening, he will complete a perimeter check; sometimes we’ll see him leaded out the sheep in the morning as they feed, following him along the trails.</image:caption>

The jump through gate is for an adult Anatolian who is also present with the stock. Seems like the training phase goes so much smoother when there is a working adult present to help adjust the puppy.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Cross Creek Grizz - Anatolian and German Shepherd cross (Back) and Cross Creek Koda - Anatolian and Great Pyrenees cross (front). Grizz being a cross Anatolian and German Shepherd never made it as an LGD, however is an excellent pet here at the Ranch; that is if you like a 130 lb dog that sheds in your house. Koda being a cross between two LGD breeds was fine, however medically his knees failed him too early in life. This is one reason a health exam is on our short list of things to ask about with the Dam and Sire. You need to try and eliminate as many items that could shorten your dog’s effectiveness as you can.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Cross Creek Titan (left) and Cross Creek Leo (right) - Anatolian Shepherds and litter mates. Leo being the dominate dog in this situation put Titan in his place more times than I care to remember before we learned this lesson. Both dogs were eventually separated, luckily, we have enough room and work to do this, and both are excellent LGDs visible on our ranch today.</image:caption>
