My Story & NEW Mission at Ranger’s Guardian Dogs
Hi. I’m Mark J Buckley.
I’m a retired U.S. Army Ranger and War Veteran.
Now, I’m on a new mission with my pack of Livestock Guardian Dogs.
As a Veteran-Owned business, Ranger’s Guardian Dogs takes great pride in providing the most loyal and protective breeds of Livestock Guardian Dogs found on Earth!

Our Mission
And a special note from Mark:
“Here at Ranger’s Guardian Dogs, our top priority is the health and well-being of our Guardian Dogs.
Mark J. Buckley | Founder & Owner of Ranger’s Guardian Dogs
Our mission is to ensure our Guardian Dogs are fully-trained, socialized, well-fed and cared for properly.
With a strong focus on their health and safety, we offer professional Guardian Dog breeding, Guardian Dog training, puppy socialization, and consulting services (training, pet food and pet care consulting).
A properly-trained, socialized and cared for Guardian Dog means better protection for you and your livestock, property, ranch, home, and your family.
I went to great length’s to find the best premium-quality pet food and pet-safe pet care supplies for my Guardians (and for yours too).
Send me a message, or give me a call, and let’s talk about safe and affordable pet food and pet care supplies for your pets (for both dogs and cats).
With all the pet food recalls these days, diet is an important topic all of us pet owners should be talking about.”

More About Mark’s Story & His Central Asian Shepherd “Guardian” Dogs (in his own words):
“Hi, my name is Mark J Buckley. I am the Founder and Owner of Ranger’s Guardian Dogs. Home of The Ultimate Guardian Dogs for your livestock, ranch, property, home, or family.
Mark J. Buckley | Founder & Owner of Ranger’s Guardian Dogs
The Central Asian Shepherd Dog (aka, the Turkmen Alabai) is the oldest and the only true pure-bred Guardian Dog breed.
All other breeds are man-made.
The Turkmen Alabai breed dates as far back as 7,000 BC.
I learned about this wonderful (and ancient) breed while I was in the Army overseas, and instantly fell in love! The rest is history!”
More About Mark’s Story

“When I returned to the states, I did extensive research on the Guardian Dog breeds and became totally obsessed!
Over the years I met and became friends with breeders from all over the world, searching for the oldest and purest of bloodlines.
ALL of my Guardian Dogs are imported.
I breed the following Central Asian Shepherd Livestock Guardian Dogs:
– Turkmen Alabai Dog (The Central Asian Shepherd from Turkmenistan)
– Tajik Aboriginal Dog Central Asian Shepherd (from Tajikistan)
– Kyrgyz Aboriginal Dog Central Asian Shepherd from Kyrgyzstan
I am one-of-only-two (2) kennel’s in the USA preserving the aboriginal bloodlines.
My Turkmen Alabai Dogs double-registered (FCI and UKC-Registered).
ALL of my Guardian Dogs are OFA Health-Tested and Certified.”
