Becky Barber & Diamond Acres Ranch

Becky Barber & Diamond Acres Ranch breeds Anatolian shepherd dogs in Yellville, AR, in the Ozark Mountains near Little Rock. Becky Barber has developed her breeding program over more than a dozen years, holding memberships in national shepherd, terrier and coonhound clubs while following recommended genetic and temperament testing for every parent. Puppies spend the first weeks indoors before joining adult dogs on open pastures, experiencing early socialization with farm animals, children and routine handling to build confidence.

Anatolian shepherds bring guardian instincts, Russell terriers add energetic curiosity and Treeing Walker coonhounds contribute keen scenting abilities, reflecting the ranch’s dedication to well-rounded working lines. Daily turnout across rolling fields supports healthy growth, and meals based on balanced, species-appropriate nutrition reinforce overall well-being. Training begins with gentle commands and positive reinforcement, emphasizing calm leadership and respect for each dog’s individual pace. Visitors often note the tranquil ranch setting and Becky’s patient guidance during meet-and-greets, describing the support as a key part of the adoption journey.
