The Anatolian was developed to be independent and forceful, responsible for guarding its master's flocks without human assistance or direction.
Anatolian shepherd dogs, as name suggests, originates in Kangal region of Sivas, Turkey. they can grow up to be 240 lbs.
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; this is not a dog for a beginning or shy owner. They become very protective of other animals in the household, and will treat them as their flock.
