Living habits of Turkish shepherd dogs

Anatolian sheepdog should be suitable for family life because of its tight social organization, but it is not suitable as a companion animal because of its lack of dependence and disobedience. Anatolian Shepherd Dog has triangular ears when alert, slightly drooping lips and black, strong neck muscles, long and open limbs, firm soles, short and arched toes, flat and dense short hair and thick fluff.

There are four types of Turkish shepherd dogs.

In recent years, this kind of dog has found a new living space in western Europe and the United States. As a typical sheepdog, it is very independent. They belong to master dog breeders and are not suitable for living in the circle of ordinary people. Anyone who can understand the behavior of dogs will listen to their commands and deal with them. The focus of dispute among dog experts is whether these dogs belong to the same breed, but belong to different types; Or in terms of dog breeds, they have obvious traditional differences, only because they live in neighboring areas and have evolved into what they are today through hybridization. In fact, herders always pay attention to the dog's working ability and ignore its appearance in the process of raising. On the other hand, there are obvious differences. When it comes to Turkey, people immediately think of the concept of "Asia Minor". However, Turkey did not use this concept. Because Turkey itself does not strive for the recognition of dog breeds, FCI undertakes the responsibility of standardized breeding. In Turkey, only the KANGAL (Kangol) dog of Sivas is regarded as the official breed.
