Savanna Farm
is the name we have chosen to call our home located in northeastern
Illinois on prairie acreage located on the northernmost fringes on
suburban Chicago halfway between O'Hare airport and Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
While most
associate "Savannah" with the deep south, by definition,
a Savanna is a prairie grassland. This describes our property well.
Tucked in a secluded area, our farm has a pond, mature oak trees and
a fruit orchard, including multiple apple varieties, pears, and cherry
trees. Hummingbird gardens and native prairie plantings do not take
away from the open spaces for the dogs to run, and leave enough room
for the sheep and other livestock, including horses, in the not too
distant future.
Savanna will
also be carried in the registered name of the animals we produce,
Tervuren, Border Terriers, Anatolian Shepherds, and Tonkinese cats.
Litters are produced sparingly, with emphasis placed on health, correct
temperament and structure. Lifetime breeder support is provided to
carefully screened homes. You can learn more about our breeding philosophy
and planned litters on our "Litters" page.
We do not have
a kennel or cattery, but rather our animals are an integral part of
our family and home. We aspire to produce companion animals and livestock
of exceptional quality and temperament that will come to be identified
with the name Savanna. Each of our dogs and cats is a valued family
member. They all enjoy the run of the house, sleeping in their selected
spot on, or beside the bed at night. Even the Anatolians, who prefer
to be outside with their livestock, make rotations in the house.
All of the
information presented here is based on our personal experiences and
represents our views only. We make every effort to describe our dogs,
and the animals we have produced candidly and honestly. Health information
for these animals is represented accurately, to the best of our knowledge.
If there is something you wish to know about us or our animals, we
encourage you to contact us directly. We are always happy to talk
about the animals that share our lives!
