Yes and no. In our application, we ask for gender preferences and will take those into consideration when matching puppies to their home. However, we look at personality before gender, as this will make a much bigger impact in most situations. That being said, there are a select few situations where gender will be prioritised. Furthermore, we cannot force a buyer to take a female when they want a male. However, we strongly encourage all buyers to look at personality before gender. This is a mistake we made with our first Anatolian and it put us in a much harder position than if we would have considered personality first.

Our selection process is as follows: Weeks 0-5: Puppies are introduced to several different animals, dogs, and objects. Videos are taken every-other day, so we have records to look back on for personality consistencies. Week 6: Puppies are exposed to various new things daily and individual videos are taken of their initial reactions. All videos are used by us to match puppies to their most suitable home. Week 7: Puppies are evaluated for their temperament according to the Volhard's Puppy Attitude Test (PAT) and conformation through puppy stacking. Week 7: We match each Buyer with the 2 most suitable puppies the night before selection day based on their needs. On selection day, buyers will meet with us via zoom or in person to go over suitable puppies, answer any questions, and select their puppy.
