I have a male Anatolian shepherd that's 34 inches at the shoulder and is 150 pounds. He just turned a year 11/21/2019 so he's still growing. Anatolian shepherds are in my opinion the best dogs in the world. I've had pitbulls, Huskies, German shepherds, Rottweilers and Doberman Pinschers and though they are all great dogs in my opinion the anatolian shepherd is the best due to its personality, independence, strength, athleticism and there gentle touch toward children even though they are giants. I have no farm animals but my anatolian shepherd watches over my children and family as we are his flock.If your thinking about getting an anatolian shepherd then I say to you my friend your making a good choice
@Demo Thanks for putting this comment up. I've been debating if I should get an Anatolian shepherd, my one fear being I don't live on a farm or have animals for it to herd. Wasn't completely sure how a dog would react to a situation like that. Your post was very helpful, thank you.
Didn't mention the stubborn streak that goes on forever. Protective, even if you don't want them to be. Mine always thought he knew better than I on how to handle a threat. That was years ago and one of my fondest dreams is to have a place where I can have an Anatolian again.
@@ARMY_LA-MIGRA Mine wasn't purebred (but might as well have been) I didn't have to buy him, but I did research. Unpapered Anatolians can go for $100 - papers can be over $800.00. On occasion, they do end up in shelters (but don't stay there long). I hope that helps.
I trust my dogs instincs over mine any day... They are highly intuitive. I have a pit. Hes very loveable but if someone comes in our home and is a bad person (no matter how long they have been associating with us) he will let us know by not biting but nibbling at their hand... Hes never been wronge. He is a good 2 yr old. Now we have 20 acres in the middle of no where and i am looking at a pup that is great pyrenees, anotolian shepard and maremma. She is absolutly gorgeous and since we are gonna have livestock and have such a big property and 3 boys(our kids not dogs) we figure she would be a perfect addition to our family.
Mine is a mix of some sort. She's 12 and has seen better days, but she's the best. I didn't have any idea what she was, but her behavior fit perfectly. She just lay in the front yard all day and was very wary of everything and barked as necessary . At sundown she perked up and barked at every shadow.. Aloof, but loves attention at times.
My daughter bought a purebred in late April. Got her at 8 weeks old, had her in puppy school by 12 weeks old to start training away from the stubborn streak, major tantrums for a couple of months (which were actually funny as hell) and now at 6 months she is the size of a small horse. She's gorgeous; tan body with black shadowing, dark black face and years. Very striking in that darker colour. They are not City dogs..acreage or farm is best.
I have one. The bite power on this animal is absolutely insane. Ours just turned 9 months@ 130 lbs and when he stands on his hind legs, he's taller than me. He is bred to retain the Kangal size, power, and speed to kill wolves, coyotes, and our breeder has shipped her bloodline to areas to attack mountain lions. This is NOT a dog for the first time dog owner.
Oh hell; yah~~~ Especially for another dog . Mostly when they are younger. But I might hate to see one with a little dog with an attitude , munch , and you would never have a chance to intervene , they are so quick and the bite is UNNERVING !!! And it wouldn't be their fault either :(
Ours sit for a long time just looking around the outside. Once, one of them literally sat for 1 hr in the same spot without moving a muscle. They are lovely.
@@brandonij26 My daughter has one, just entering her 6th month and the size of a small horse. Been through puppy school, tantrums, stubbornness; they are waiting for the big booming voice to start. She is sweet though; they keep her really well socialized and active "a tired puppy, is a good puppy". She's purebred, gorgeous with her black marks and black face.
Can anyone help? I have a female Anatolian shepard great pyrenees mix. Shes an amazingly sweet dog but out of nowhere, with no signs, she lashes out and attacks one of our other animals. Does anyone know how to stop this? Shes 2 and 1/2
It's common in anatolian Shepard's that at the three year mark they get more aggressive it's kinda like she's leaving her puppy stage and become an adult training hard is what helped ours be a little nicer but we won't return to how he was before
@@babycows0211 we had to get rid of her because she almost killed my moms other dog.. I miss my friend but shes with a family friend so I can visit her
Check out Beckham. He gave me great insight on how to stop my Anatolian from pulling when we on our walks. She's much, much better. She also had anxiety issues and he's helped with that. A no-nonsense approach. We got our dog from the rescue at 14 months. She didn't get much of a brake in her early life but she's coming around. What a sweetheart. Good luck
@@dovregubben5632 There are 3-4 breeds the one that you may be referring to is 1-of the regional breeds in the country that they come from the Anatolian that people may own here.
Kangal is fawn whith black mask, Akbash is all white, Malakli is more the molosser type. Those are pure breeds. Anatolians are Kangal mixes, stray dogs from the city, mixed with labrador, german shepherd, sighthound and who knows what else. People who want to use them to protect their sheep even found out they'd rather hunt the sheep than protect them
They are both from Turkey. Anatolians come in different colours; my daughters is beautiful tan with white spots and black shadows on her, and has a beautiful black face, black ears and a black stripe down her forehead. Very striking against the light body. At 6 months she is the size of a small horse.
I knew all the facts because I also have a similar dog of this that looks like mixed CAS/Akbash/ASD that came from Romania. High fences with posted signs are a must and nobody will break into your house!
Arrogant much , fuck! Which of the papers that the Historians in Turkey wrote have you read ?????? Do have any idea that people in that country devoted theirL IVES Jesus Christ , it's a 6000 year old breed , and this video is complete horse shit . Antaoloonian shepherd my ass !

Anatolian Shepherd means middle eastern mutt, there are no breed standards , it'a an American thing , and it's stupid how people get all authoritarian over here when the Kangal was only imported since the 70's . I encourage people to seek out Turkish Scholars in this subject , the 6,000 year history is amazing , the History of the Kangals ,. But do not ilsten to these saps in the US ! Me included , go find out for yourself . I can tell you one thing my Kangal is the best dog I have ever had and I wouldn't trade him for a pallet of GOLD!!!!
The Anatolian is a mix of Kangal,Karabash and Akabash..in Turkey they don't know what is a Anatolian..they know only this 3 diferent breeds..the Anatolian is a west word invented breead because this 3 breeds are very similar and they think all this dogs are of the same breead

@@LeannefunkE We used Tamoora Anatolians. She is VERY picky as well they should be with an animal of this power.
Larry Sliwa thanks!
Too late! Mine is my first dog but she's a mix but I've had her for 4 years now and she's my everything ❤️❤️
So does the bite power of the Anatolian match that of a Kangal dog

Not mine but I trained him off leash at the age of 2 when I got him

So does an Anatolian shepherd have the same bite power of a Kangal if they are basically the same.
