KYILLADOON is a dedicated breeding operation located in the picturesque region of Ballarat, Pyrenees VIC, specializing in the Anatolian Shepherd Dog breed. Founded by Kathryn Pempel, the business is rooted in a passion for these remarkable dogs, which are known for their strong protective instincts and gentle temperament. The breeding program is designed to produce dogs that not only excel in companionship but also thrive in a farm environment, making them ideal for families and working settings alike.
At KYILLADOON, the focus is on quality over quantity, with a commitment to breeding a small number of litters that reflect the exceptional temperament and conformation of the Anatolian Shepherds. The breeding stock includes well-regarded dogs such as Yatsi, Snip, and Mishka, each selected for their strong working qualities and friendly nature. The dogs are raised in a mixed farm setting, allowing them to develop their natural instincts while being well-socialized with other animals, including farm cats and horses.
Visitors are welcome by appointment to learn more about the Anatolian Shepherds and the breeding program. KYILLADOON is proud to be a member of the Anatolian Shepherd Club and is dedicated to promoting the breed’s unique characteristics and suitability for rural life.
