The Anatolian Shepherd Dog is a remarkable shepherd's guard dog of ancient lineage. It is a large, formidable working dog with a self-sufficient temperament. Such dogs are found throughout the Anatolian Plateau of Turkey. Historically since Babylonian times there was a breed of large, strong dogs. They were variously employed as war dogs and for hunting big game such as lions and horses. Some spectacular examples can be seen on the very well preserved bas reliefs in the Assyrian Rooms of the British Museum, London.
Anatolian Shepherd Dogs are naturally very watchful, always ready to investigate anything unusual. They have remarkable eye-sight, an acute sense of smell and very good hearing. Their memory is also excellent. Their natural inclination is to get up at intervals, especially at night and patrol the area, bedding down in a different spot each time. This keeps their coats remarkably clean, and parasite free.
In Turkey there are no fences so the numerous dogs have to respect little children, young lambs and other forms of domestic life. But when strangers arrive, fierce barking breaks out and the visitor's stand rooted to the ground until someone tells the dogs it is all right.
In Australia the Anatolian Shepherd Dog is a highly valued member of many stock owners. The interest in these dogs is growing rapidly, and we hear stories on a regular basis of how these remarkable dogs have saved stock. Even though obedience is not one of their better attributes we have had some successful dogs go through the ranks of this as well.
Socialisation and some form of Obedience training is essential. These dogs are a large breed, they require regular exercise. They tend to be stubborn and very protective of their family. They are suspicious of strangers. If you are thinking of purchasing one of these wonderful dogs. PLEASE take the time to find a reputable breeder. One who values the health of their dogs, who tests for genetic failings, and who is prepared to let you spend time getting to know the breed.
This is not a dog that you would want to buy on impulse. Read about the breed. Find out the bad points as well as the good. Get in touch with the breed club to give you detailed information and someone near you who has a dog to visit.
