Recently On the Community Front

Carol White, who owns an Anatolian, CH. Karaboudjan's Fire-Storm AKA Rango, was requested by the Cheetah Conservation Fund to have her dog represent the Anatolian breed at an event held recently at the Happy Hollow Zoo in San Jose. Carol's Anatolian club has a very close working relationship with the Cheetah folks, as they use Anatolians to keep the Cheetahs away from their livestock. The Anatolian club was actively involved in getting the program started in Africa. Dr. Laurie Marker (the founder of the program) has done an amazing job.
