Virginia Highland Farms

Virginia Highland Farms breeds Anatolian shepherd dogs in Woolwine, VA, Patrick County and the Blue Ridge Highlands near Roanoke. It adheres to responsible breeding standards, including OFA hip and elbow evaluations, annual cardiac screenings, and participation in the Anatolian Shepherd Dog Club of America. Puppies are socialized from birth in a home setting, with regular interactions with children and other domestic animals, and they spend time exploring secure pastures alongside goats and sheep.

The farm’s heritage extends back to traditional livestock guardian lines, with dogs known for calm temperaments and strong build. Owner Lisa Speas draws on a background in animal husbandry to oversee each litter, maintaining meticulous records of lineage and health history. Clients often note the attentive guidance offered through weaning and early training stages, ensuring each puppy transitions smoothly to its new family. Regular year-round visits by local veterinarians further support the health and well-being of all animals on the property.
