Stonecoat Anatolians

Stonecoat Anatolians, run by Heidi Krol in Candia, New Hampshire, has been breeding and working with Anatolian shepherd dogs as active livestock guardians since 1996. The farm sits on 80 acres in southern New Hampshire, surrounded by thousands of acres of conservation land east of Manchester, and the dogs earn their keep daily alongside a working herd of over 100 dairy goats, hogs, and poultry.

Heidi's approach is rooted in preservation: the program selects simultaneously for natural guardian instincts, sound temperament, and breed-correct conformation, with the conviction that working ability and structure must develop together. The farm's breeding stock is evaluated in the pasture first, with dogs expected to bond to both livestock and the human shepherds who manage them. Breeding decisions have also incorporated outside working lines, including dogs from Lucky Hit Ranch in Texas and imports through Tribocie Anatolians.

The program has produced dogs that carry AKC titles alongside their working credentials — including a Dam of Merit and a National Specialty Winner's Dog — reflecting the dual standard Stonecoat holds its dogs to. For those searching for Anatolian shepherd dog breeders in New Hampshire with a genuine working-farm background, Stonecoat represents a long-running program where the dogs protect a real livelihood. Heidi also stays involved in breed education and Anatolian shepherd rescue, extending the farm's reach well beyond its own pastures.
