From the pasture to the show ring, Sagi was a working livestock and home guardian who retired from the show ring in 1994, finishing her career as the #1 Anatolian Bitch for both ARBA and WWKC. At the 1993 ARBA Cherry Blossom Classic (Rare Breed Westminster & largest Rare Breed show in the world), Sagi took Back to Back BEST OF BREEDs from regular classes over more than 20 Anatolians, 11 of which were ARBA Champions, and finished her ARBA Championship. Sagi also completed her CGC twice in a row with flying colors.

Sagi, was an apricot fawn female with a chocolate mask. I had Sagi neutered at 5 years of age when she retired from showing, as I didn't feel I knew enough about the breed genetics to breed her. Sagi was a gentle soul who always knew how to make me feel good, even when she wasn't feeling up to par herself.

When Sagi went over the Rainbow Bridge Thanksgiving weekend in 1995, just before her 6th birthday, it left a huge void in my life!
