THE
ANATOLIAN SHEPHERD DOG
The
ANATOLIAN SHEPHERD DOG (ASD) is a very large, strong, and
independent breed of dog. Anatolians are usually calm, observant, and extremely intelligent. They thrive in a large, fenced, outdoor environment where they have a "job" to do.

Anatolian
Shepherds are primarily utilized as livestock guardian dogs (LGD) for various
types of farm and ranch livestock. They also make exceptional family and property protectors; but at the same time, ASDs require strong, well-disciplined leadership from their owners. Early socialization and obedience training is recommended.
During
the daytime hours, ASDs may appear at times to be in a deep
sleep but they will alert instantly to any unusual movement
or noise within their territory. During dusk and evening hours,
ASDs seem more alert, and you will notice them patrolling
“their” property and “their” herd.
They like to “keep watch” over the herd from
the highest vantage point available. These dogs behave as a guardian type of dog, and should not be confused with the "herding" type dogs. ASDs take their job seriously
– patrolling and protecting “their” herd
from different types of predators - two legged or four legged;
and particularly nighttime predators, such as, skunks, raccoons,
porcupines, coyotes, and opossums.
With
their country of origin being Turkey, Anatolian Shepherds
have to be able to “brave” the outdoor elements
as they guard their herds. The ASD’s coat will vary depending on the heredity: very thick
and short coats with a very dense undercoat; short and slick coats; or, "rough" coated with longer, shaggy, and thick hair. And, yes, they do shed! Coat colors are diverse with the most
predominant color in the ASD breed being fawn with a black mask on the face. Other
colors include: biscuit and white, liver, white, gray, red, brindle, and blue.
