Introduction

Originating from Turkey, the Anatolian Shepherd Dog is a noble protector with a strong, muscular build, and a dense double coat often in brindle or fawn. Known for their intelligence, confidence, and loyalty, these large-sized canines are calm yet vigilant, making exemplary guard dogs. Their independence means they need assertive training. Despite their size, they have moderate exercise needs but require ample space to roam, making them better suited to rural or spacious suburban homes.
