Anatolian Shepherd Dog This is a tall dog although of mastiff type.The largest males will measure as much as 32 inches and weigh in in the true heavy weight rage. Prized by the shepherds of his native Turkey for his fathful devotion to his role as a flock guard, he must present an awesome sight to marauders, whether wolves or men. Despite his purpose in life he can be a remarkably gentle animal in firm hands. His relatively short, thick coat is not difficult to keep clean, and in spite of his size he is remakably agile.A breed which requires sensible exercise, he stands up to variations of weather well.

Characteristics Active breed used originally as a guard dogfor the sheep; hard working; capable of enduring extremes of heat and cold. Temperament Steady and bold without aggression, naturally independent, very intelligent. Proud and confident.**

Slightly longer and thicker at neck, shoulders and tail; no feathering on ears or legs.
