History
The Anatolian Shepherd is an old guardian dog breed in all probability derived from roman war dogs that came to Turkey more than 4,000 years ago. In Turkey Anatolian Shepherds turned out to be invaluable as steadfast guardians of livestock against impressive predators, such as wolves and bears. They companioned the nomadic sheepherders and became widespread over a big geographic area, this large area is why the Anatolian Shepherd has great variations in size, coat, and color. Its Turkish name, ( Koban Copek) stands for shepherd’s dog. The 1st Anatolian Shepherd didn't arrive in America until the fifties. In 1996 the Anatolian Shepherd was admitted in the AKC miscellaneous class; shortly after it became a member of the working group.
Temperament
Anatolian Shepherds are mellow and easygoing. They're dedicated to family and distrustful of strangers. They're not good with unknown dogs. Anatolians are serious when it concerns guardian duties.
