Description
The Anatolian Shepherd is a large, powerful breed known for its loyalty, intelligence, and protective instincts. Originally bred to guard livestock in Turkey, they are popular family companions and working dogs. Despite their size, they can be gentle and affectionate with their families. However, their strong protective nature requires early socialization and training. They are highly intelligent and can be stubborn, so patient and consistent training is essential. Their thick double coat requires regular grooming, especially during shedding seasons.
