Right Fit, Right Future

Welcome to Our Puppy Page

Thank you for your interest in a puppy from Emerald Mtn Ranch. We believe that placing our puppies in the right working homes is essential for their success and well-being. Our goal is to ensure each puppy is a perfect match for the homestead it will protect, leading to a lifetime of purpose and fulfillment for the dog.
Our puppy application is a key part of this process. It helps us understand your needs, your livestock, and your working environment. This allows us to work together to select a puppy whose natural instincts and temperament are best suited to your operation. We are confident that there is a unique and perfect working situation for every one of our puppies, and we want to help you find the ideal guardian for your needs.

The Turkish Boz Shepherd: A Working Partner

The Turkish Boz Shepherd is a majestic and powerful breed, known for being an independent and intelligent livestock guardian. These dogs are bred to think for themselves and protect their charges with unwavering dedication. While they are a dedicated part of the family, their primary role is as a working partner for your homestead. We take great pride in raising puppies that are not only physically sound but also possess the inherent instincts necessary to excel in their role as guardians.

Our Lifelong Commitment

Our commitment to our dogs and the homesteads they serve extends for a lifetime. We are here to offer guidance and support as your puppy matures into a capable and reliable guardian. We also want you to know that we are always willing to welcome our dogs back into our care, should circumstances ever change.
We look forward to getting to know you better through your application and helping you find the perfect addition to your working family.

The Right Home for Our Puppies

Our goal is to ensure every puppy finds a home where it can thrive. The Turkish Boz Shepherd is a powerful, intelligent, and independent working breed. To help you determine if this is the right dog for you, we want to be upfront about the kind of environment these dogs need to succeed.
These puppies are not a good fit for you if:

  • You are looking for a dog to keep in an apartment. These dogs need a job and ample space to work.
  • The dog will be kept isolated, chained, or kenneled for its entire life. They are intelligent and social animals that need to be part of a working homestead.
  • You are unwilling to work with their natural instincts. These dogs are independent thinkers and require an owner who understands and supports their guardian nature.
  • You are not willing to dedicate time to their training and socialization.
  • You are not committed to addressing potential behavioral issues, such as aggression, if they arise.

If any of these points resonate with your situation, we kindly ask that you consider a different breed that might be a better fit for your lifestyle.

Now Available – Turkish Boz Shepherd Puppies

From Our Legacy Dam Princess of MINIK
(EMR’S PRINCESS URFALI VON BOZKENNEL)
This special litter represents the final legacy of Princess, a direct import from Turkey and daughter of the respected MINIK bloodline. She is a large, quiet, and intensely devoted guardian with exceptional instincts. At 160 lbs, Princess is both powerful and gentle — trusted with all manner of livestock, including birds, and unwavering in her commitment to the animals she protects.

The sire, TALAT OF SUNSET GUARDIANS is a strong and stable male with a calm, grounded temperament. He is stock- and bird-safe, with the steady confidence we value in working dogs. Both parents have been Embark health-tested and are clear.
