Temperament
Anatolian Shepherd Dogs are one of the larger breeds; this 7-month-old Anatolian might not yet be full size.
The Anatolian was developed to be independent and forceful, responsible for guarding its master's flocks without human assistance or direction. These traits make it challenging as a pet; owners of dogs of this breed must socialize the dogs to turn them into appropriate companions. They are intelligent and can learn quickly but might choose not to obey. According to Turkish shepherds, three Anatolian Shepherd Dogs are capable of overcoming a pack of wolves and injuring one or two of them. These dogs like to roam, as they were bred to travel with their herd and to leave the herd to go hunt for predators before the predators could attack the flock. Therefore it is recommended to micro-chip and tag pets. This breed is not recommended for living in small quarters. They do well with other animals, including cats if they are introduced while still a puppy and have their own space. They are very loving and loyal animals who do well with children. They mature between 18–30 months. Both puppies and adults seem to have little interest in fetching or chewing. Rather, they prefer to run and sometimes swim.
Als het een hond is gefokt voor het bewaken van vee, dan zou de jachtpassie wel eens mee kunnen vallen, hoewel hier wel staat da ze graag zelf op pad gaan. Toch snap ik dat niet helemaal, want dan laten ze de kudde alleen? Vergelijk pyrenese berghonden
Je wilt er niet weer een me jacht ? Kan het me voorstellen
