One of the worlds most GIGANTIC dog breeds | The incredible Turkish Boz Shepherd

Is he the biggest dog we've ever seen on the chanel? 😮

[@AskingSpot]

My husband is from Türkiye and these dogs just roam the streets of the little village his mom has a summer home in. They are fed and cared for by the community. They are so gentle and patient. With my kids I would walk to get fresh bread in the mornings and one would walk with us, stopping when we stopped and even waited outside the store for us to walk us back home.

Boz shepherds are normally very protective and loyal, typically used for guarding livestock so I wonder if they were just loyal to the humans of the village or saw everyone as livestock to protect 😅😂

[@Sargy18MPBDE]

At 11 months, he's almost technically a puppy, a REALLY HUGE puppy, lol. 👀 What a handsome boi. 😍

He still has the wobbly legs omg

[@debraeuler1674]

He's still a puppy. Big dog like that aren't really finished growing until they are nearly THREE. Unlike most other huge dogs, Boz shepherds live a long life, frequently to 12 and even 15 years. Because they're an old, naturally occurring breed, not a recent one.

So cute! My dog loves to eat the leftover cat treats, it looks about the same. And she has a pretty enormous head herself.

[@Wild_Western]

I appreciate the fact she uses alterations in her voice/tone to reassure and calm the dogs she works with. In addition, she adjusts her approach to a dog depending on breed and temperament. In all, you can tell she loves dogs, is a professional at what she does and has patience beyond belief.

[@NerdyHousewifey]

@danielleking262 she was a euthanasia rescue and had dog aggression so I had to call ahead and make sure the bathing place had no other dogs and pay to use the place (she was too big for our tub but needed it after the shelter) so it was a lot of build up for her to just refuse to go in 😅 so we just cuddled and cried until we figured something out.
