Raising Balanced Anatolians in a Suburban Environment
Welcome to Fiddler’s Dream Anatolians, dedicated to the magnificent Anatolian Shepherd Dog. Here, we believe in fostering the innate guardian instincts of this remarkable breed while seamlessly integrating them into the fabric of modern suburban life.
Our dogs are more than just companions; they are first and foremost family and property guardians. We prioritize temperament, health, and responsible breeding, ensuring our Anatolians are well-adjusted, confident, and capable of fulfilling their traditional roles in a contemporary setting.
Meet Rosin

About Rosin:
- He has an exceptional temperament, strong guardian instincts, and good conformation.
- He is OFA Hip/Elbow Certified, and DNA health tested.
- Rosin comes from a long line of exceptional dogs and bitches with many health tested champions, grand champions, Mexican champions and Best in Specialty Shows. He also brings import genetics through his sire’s lines (French), and one of his grandsire’s (a Turkish import). He has his canine good citizen (CGC), and is known around our neighborhood for being particularly protective of children and small dogs.
He exemplifies the balance we strive for – a powerful guardian, a loyal family member, and a testament to the breed’s adaptability.

Meet Dusty
GCH Karaboudjan’s Shimmery Luster Dust “Dusty” – Red Fawn with Dutch Markings
Dam: MBIS BISS GCH Karaboudjan’s Bonfire of the Vanities “Ateş” (first Anatolian in the history of AKC to be awarded a Best in Show)
Sire: BISS Kandira’s Encore “Ernie”
Bred by: Karaboudjan Anatolians (AKC Breeder of Merit)
Dusty is the kind of Anatolian who commands quiet respect—with an unshakable sense of responsibility, a steady demeanor, and a deep, instinctive loyalty to her people. Bred by Karaboudjan Anatolians, an AKC Breeder of Merit, Dusty is the daughter of two of the breed’s most accomplished dogs: the legendary MBIS BISS GCH Karaboudjan’s Bonfire of the Vanities “Ateş” and the elegant, powerful Sire of Distinction CH Kandira’s Encore “Ernie.”
From these lines, Dusty has inherited exceptional breed type, sound structure, and a powerful presence. She has earned her AKC Grand Championship, demonstrating not only physical excellence but the mental stability and composure required to thrive in the show ring and in real-world settings alike.
At home, Dusty is a serious guardian—clear-eyed, thoughtful, and unwavering in her commitment to her family and territory. She is not a dog who takes her job lightly, but she balances this devotion with discernment. When introduced to new people under her handler’s guidance, she is composed and accepting, showing the reliability and judgment we expect from the breed.
Dusty is not only a treasured guardian, but also the foundation bitch of Fiddler’s Dream Anatolians, where she represents the beginning of our breeding program. Her pedigree, temperament, and working ability embody the very best of what we strive to preserve and produce in this ancient breed.
With Dusty as our foundation, we are building on strength, integrity, and generations of careful, purpose-driven breeding. We are proud to continue her legacy.

Meet Musetta

Karaboudjan’s La Bohème at Fiddler’s Dream “Musetta” – Red Fawn with Black Mask
Dam:CH Karaboudjan’s Chakram Xena Warrior Princess
Sire: GCH Rosin the Bow at Cougar Ridge
Bred by: Karaboudjan Anatolians (AKC Breeder of Merit)
Musetta is everything we hope for in an Anatolian Shepherd—intelligent, steady, and deeply bonded to her home and family. The daughter of our own GCH Rosin the Bow at Cougar Ridge and CH Karaboudjan’s Chakram Xena Warrior Princess, Musetta brings forward the strength and sensibility of her pedigree in every aspect of her temperament and work.
At home, Musetta is an exceptional family guardian: calm, discerning, and always watchful. She is equally comfortable off property, showing confident and thoughtful behavior in a variety of environments. Her preference, though, is clear—she thrives most when she’s home, watching over her land and loved ones. Musetta earned her AKC Championship with the grace and power that defines the breed. She is also health tested according to the standards set by her Breeder of Merit breeder, Karaboudjan Anatolians, ensuring soundness in both mind and body.One of our favorite glimpses into Musetta’s true nature came when she returned to her breeder’s property and was let out with her grandmother, Muska—who lives full-time with the goats. Musetta moved seamlessly into the group, showing natural instinct, confidence, and respectful awareness. That moment, more than any ribbon or title, told us she is exactly what an Anatolian should be.We are proud to have Musetta as part of our breeding program at Fiddler’s Dream, where her lineage, temperament, and working ability continue to uphold the best of the breed.
