The Anatolian Shepherd Breed

Long-time Anatolian Shepherd breeder Heidi Krol discusses the characteristics of the breed.

I have an Anatolian Shepherd, 2 months now. Kinda of a rescue, he's about 7-8 months, not sure. He was in a pen with goats before I got him. I worked with him on a leash when not in his poultry pen (alone) on leash he'd meet the cows and get used to the chickens and guineas. He is a fantastic dog! I am seeing these amazing qualities in him, what an incredible breed. He barks occasionally at night, with purpose and then stops! He still needs work with the guineas when they get worked up he wants to chase them, of coarse. Your advice is very appreciated...he was a challenge when I first got him, I thought he was way too much dog for me, he's already a mammoth compared to what I'm used to...but I knew I would not and could not give up on him.

What can we assist you with for this pup?

@@tamulivestockguarddog Heidi explained a lot, right now I have no specific question. I am seeing some progress, he is an adolescent male so I need to be patient, and this gave me much insight.

why would texas A/M do an interview with someone who contradicts Bill Constanzos work and research?

No sure what you mean by that. Can you explain?
