The
Anatolian Shepherd is a shepherd's guard dog of ancient lineage;
probably descended from the large hunting dogs existing in
Mesopotamia. The breed has evolved over the ages to suit a
specific set of circumstances. Of these, the most formative are
the climate (hot and very dry summers; very cold winters), the
people's lifestyles (from settled to semi- and wholly nomadic),
and the work assigned to the dogs. They guard flocks traveling
great distances on the Central Anatolian Plateau, staying out
through all weather conditions. The Anatolian Shepherd was
recognized by the United Kennel Club on January 1, 1993. The
Anatolian Shepherd is a large, upstanding, powerfully built
livestock guarding dog that is capable of great speed. The head
is broad and strong, and the double coat is dense in cooler
climates. Size and stamina are imperative. A sound, structurally
correct dog demonstrating efficiency of movement always takes
precedence. .The Anatolian Shepherd is an active, hard-working
breed thats original function was as a flock-guarding dog for
sheep. It is capable of enduring extremes of heat and cold. They
are always steady and bold, without aggression. The breed is
naturally independent, very intelligent and tractable. In
manner, they are proud and confident, although reserved and
unenthusiastic about show ring exhibition. They are loyal and
affectionate to their owners, but are wary of strangers when
mature.
