my dog Wobbly was an Anatolian and I never had a more loyal or protective dog. He seemed to have 6th sense and was never wrong about people and getting him in from his spot in the garden was a pain in the ass. lol. I have ptsd from military service and he would watch over me while I slept. I miss him so much.

My dad recused an Anatolian Shepard. The dog had been shot (only a graze)and my dad found him. He named him “The Big Ugly” because he was in rough shape at the time. But Ugly was the sweetest guy and also was super submissive with my dad’s alpha female Chaser. Ugly was the best shepherd of the farm. He would tag along with Chaser the female. He did everything she wanted to do or go where she wanted to go. I think he was guarding her to be honest.

[@cherylh.1910]

Glad to know you read the comments. Because I want you to know the joy you and your pack have brought into my life. Lee, you have the biggest heart I have seen. Since I was born (63) years ago, there has always been dogs in my life. As a matter of fact when I was an infant, my mother was in the kitchen cleaning up while I napped. We had 2 boxers, one was laying by my crib suddenly I went into convulsion, my fever shot up and I was shaking so hard the crib was shaking. The boxer, started barking and running into the kitchen and back to me. My mother came running, grabbed me, called the doctor and then jumped into the bathtub with me and got my temperature down. Dogs have always been the best thing God has gifted us with. We always had boxers, they are great with children. I had a Yorkie (Pablo Picasso) for 15 years, he was always there for me when I lost each one of my parents. When it was his time to go join my parents, my daughter had to get a group of friends to talk to me one night to convince me it was time. He had a stroke and was never the same, nor was I. Now I have a rescue she is lab and retriever mix Gracie and Chip who’s mother was a Yorkie shih tzu mix and father was full chihuahua. You can imagine what that mixture is like, 10 pounds of crazy love who happens to be on your CBD oil. Watching your love for all animals is the best thing I do every day, you restore my faith daily that there are people who still have hearts. With so much bad, you and your pack are the best thing to watch. When I retire if you need someone to just clean up after them, I’m your person. Because watching your love for all your pack, just makes me feel better about everything. Don’t ever stop, I talk about your videos and send and share with everyone I know. Sorry my comment has turned into a short story but I wanted you to know I feel very blessed that I found Asher House to watch. Always watching Cheryl

Thank you for sharing about Belly! I never knew about this breed. We have a GSD and your comments about how Belly hears a car from far away made me laugh. My GSD is the same. I appreciate your enthusiasm for protective breeds of dogs and their innate abilities. Sometimes, our GSD’s obsession with patrolling and protecting us gets annoying, but you remind me to love her for what she was born to do! Thank you again, Lee!

[@sandiodonovan8953]

[@theresilientspud]

GOD'S are my favourite breed. I grew up with a beautiful, magnificent short-haired lady called Carmen who i still miss to this day. She was irreplaceable.

[@mwrice45]

We had two GSD and they are my favorite as well. I lost our Sabrina in 2019 and our father about 40 days later. Hardest time if my life. Sabrina was totally unexpected and u swear she died of a broken heart because we had to keep her separated. The 24/7 care ❤ company at the end of dads life told us we had to. And she just started losing weight. And died. I will have another dog someday. I'm positive of it.

[@jerryoshea3116]

I owned one in England(Soppy,a bit lazy,easy going,but a pretty decent guard Dog,when necessary) And my Sister owned 4 long haired ones,which I looked after (At one point,which was certainly a pleasure&never a chore) I have fond memories of taking 3 of them out on some very long "Hikes".. Great times which kept me Sane!.

[@jntrahin]

My parents have a GSD and I do too. We joke that theirs is a failure 😂 my GSD is just like yours, incredibly loyal, protective, brave, and also the biggest goofball of a dog, but my dad used to call theirs a chicken shepherd bc shes scared of everything but people. They had a break in once, and you could see she tried to bring the intruder all her toys to throw 😂

[@cherylburrows6161]

[@SGee1989]

Yes, we rescued a Anatolian Shepherd pup and she is definitely an alpha on our farm. She is super sweet to people and anything baby. She strategically marks our property line by dropping a great big poop and seems to help keep away coyotes. If predators enter the farm she is on them and runs them off. I love this breed. Thank you for highlighting rescuing Anatolian Shepherds. Sweet dogs but tough on predators!!! Always enjoy your videos 🙏🏾

[@sharonshade4437]

I love these dog walks. So peaceful and fun.

[@marshawalker5273]

Lee has hit the sweet spot. He shows some sad cases but makes having dogs look like so much fun. My son & I have discussed that we need to imitate that. Shelter pets r showcased in short bits on local news. Rocky Kanaka does a great job , like Lee, showing shelter dogs & shows how much they can do despite bad conditions. My son got his bachelor's in film & wants to see if he can find a way to film like Lee. ASPCA runs commercials all the time & its heartbreaking & hard 2 watch. But ads dont show good results. Plus Lee has learned to show fun videos people want to watch. My son is in Oregon & has volunteered at local shelter & Lee has given him great ideas. Everyone can't have a sanctuary but everyone can help shelters. He has been inspired by Lee's videos here's hoping we can catch that "lightening in a bottle"

As you were talking about protective breeds, we actually have a Romanian raven shepherd who was a rescue from Romania at 16 weeks old. He had the worst past over there and was thankfully found and brought over to the UK. He has lived with us since. He is now 4 years old. He is a very very big dog. He weighs 6 stone 9 currently but he's lost 2 stone and was just over 8 stone, which for the breed is about normal. They tend to go to 9 stone if not more. He is 5ft 8 on 2 legs and his body is thick, huge coat so he looks even bigger. He is the classic raven so jet black all over and has a small white patch on the under tail and a larger one on his chest. But everywhere else is black with very very dark colour eyes. Naturally in Romania he would be out from birth in the mountains guarding livestock from birth to death with only his pack, and little or no human interaction. He is very very protective of his family, which is 2 adults, 6 kids and 13 cats and kittens at min. We have raised him with cats and kittens and small children and he treats everyone like they are his pack with no exceptions. He is very loyal and protective, he guards his house and whoever he is with all the time. He has a massive loud bark that can be heard up the road from our house and everyone knows if he barks that something is up. It's like a one dog neighbourhood watch. He's also super fast and has super fast reflexes, and is incredibly strong. The flipside of that is he is soooooo affectionate with his family. He loves to play and mess around and has a box of his fav toys that he treats like they are the best things in the world. If he was Egyptian he would be buried with them😂. Sometimes he forgets he is a self appointed guard of the whole UK and when he plays he goes all out. Squeaky ice creams fly across the room so he can catch them. He loves football and is a stellar goal keeper. He can also dribble and kick the ball and pass it to people. He loves cuddles and when he sits on you your staying there 😂 I think he displays a lot of the anatolian traits and I just wanted to share for that reason. I've never seen a anatolian dog before so this has been a treat for me to watch and learn about them a little. It's amazing. My big bear sends huge love for all that you do.

[@Durga-ma]

I'm so so SO happy you've started this series about describing the dogs. Bellamy, one thing I'd like to add about him is that on walks he likes to be aware of where you are. He'll keep coming to be near you before trotting off. Also I've commented before that I noticed Bentley showing 'herding' tendencies. She likes to keep an eye on which dog is where. She also has a very calm energy. I was very surprised to know that Bellamy is loud. I intuitively knew he would be submissive, but was happy to learn he has a loud bark. He seems like that child who sticks near the parents even when a little grown up. Really looking forward to this series. Will the dogs' personalities match with my impression of them? Can't wait. I love Callie... Because how can you not love a golden, and Bentley and Pom poms, and the Rocket sprocket Copper and Rollie the Pollie, and Bo. And all of them. We don't see Mugsy so much anymore. Did he bite you once? On the upper cheek? Your new dog Clyde is physically the most beautiful... Even more than Loba.

Than you very much, Lee, for introducing your viewers to individual members of your pack. When the pack was half the size it is now, I felt that I knew the whole pack. Now that there’s 30 of them, don’t know the names, breeds, or personality of the second half. It made me feel distanced from them. Please keep posting more videos about the 10 or 15 newer members of the pack. Sending hugs to you and the entire pack.

[@lindasines8416]

Looks like a crowd pleaser and a grand slam hit! Did you see the look on Belly's face when Lee first started talking about him? Belly definitely said, "Who, me?" Funny, for a while I couldn't figure out where Rosa came from. Then I saw an old video and realized she was one of the abandoned puppies.

[@mla8680]

My very large pit bull named "Z". I had an emergency work trip come up and had to make the uncomfortable decision to have him stay at a "pet hotel". While I was away, I'd call to check on him and was told he was lethargic and not eating (he was checked out and had no illnesses) so I rushed home. Needless to stay, straight out of the car, into the house and right to his door ... he patrolled the property, checked every nook & cranny inside & out, checked his toys, his bed, my bed and every room in the house, went around again & barked to let everyone know he was "on duty" then promptly sat on my lap for the next hour. He was bored and had no job or purpose at the pet hotel .... best boy ever!!

[@rachaelhaeberlen]

A year ago, someone dumped a puppy on our road and me being me, we ended up with him. lol We have a large fenced in yard and he shares it with our Mini Aussie Koda (who is alpha), and another dumped baby, Hollie (black mouth cur mix). Clyde is an Anatolian mix. He is very large, sweet, protective, and comes in the house to say hello then heads back outside. All I can say is whoever dumped him missed out on a lot of love! He keeps the mole population under control and is very protective with me (the only female in the family). Thank you for spotlighting this breed!

[@jntrahin]

I used to work for UPS, and my absolute favorite dog on my route was Bob, a GSD Anatolian shepherd mix. He definitely took more after the Anatolian, always checking his yard but got SO excited when we came to deliver. He was so incredibly fluffy and handsome. He had a "brother" that was a great Dane named Sarge, who was quite literally the wimpiest giant dog I've ever met 😂 but he also loved his lovins from UPS. They had to get him a miniature horse sized blanket to fit him 😂😂

[@BuggySticky]

Hey Lee please do this series with all the dogs, I'm SO looking forward to it. I'm addicted to it and I love it so much. I can see each dog you describe as a distinctive human with a distinctive personality, but because 1 video is for 1 dog and you use a lot of words to explain, I know much further and more profound about them and it's incredible. Please keep on with the series and I love you and the pack. Wish you and the pack all the best.

This is a BRILLIANT idea Lee! I watch every single video you post, going back to the Dodo ones, and there are many I watch multiple times. So I am familiar with most of the dogs and their histories. But I've noticed a few new ones (new to me) lately and also some that are no longer there (and I'm not talking about the beautiful souls that have begun their journeys over the Rainbow Bridge 🌈 ) but perhaps were fosters or simply not on every walk. Can't wait to be introduced and learn more about everyone. Thank you for including us in this amazing and magnificent journey 💜

[@dianemackey]

My 3 year old nephew was deathly afraid of dogs. At a lakeside camp, a free roaming Golden Retriever headed towards him and my nephew froze in fear. The dog instantly stopped, got down on his belly and put his paw out to my nephew. The dogs owner assured my boy that the dog wanted to make friends with him and encouraged contact. With my brother by his side, my nephew patted the dog, eventually sat beside him, and they became best friends that day and spent every day together for the vacation week. Again, in the fall, at the school bus stop, a huge black Newfie came by on a leash. Nephew clung to me for dear life. This dog also got down on his belly and wiggled his way to my nephew for a pat. In no time my nephew would be upset if his giant black dog was not around to pat before the bus came. Dogs know and can be very compassionate. I hope you soon meet a pup that will steal your heart.

I call it doggie dynamics! I work as a dog handler and groomer. You absolutely nailed it by talking about breed characteristics, play style, and prey drive . All of which are behaviors that are prevalent and unique to each of the different breeds. For example Dogs like Great Pyrenees are nocturnal, hounds howl, herding breeds Will herd and direct, scent and sight hounds are prey driven and we simply just have companion only dogs. Several Breeds such as the Anatolian, Malinois, Shepherds and many of the herding breeds need a job and if left to their own accord will create their own within the pack. I too have a love for animals and my passion and obsession is with Dogs! I admire all you do for these beautiful wonderful little beasts, you have so much love and compassion for them!! I have an amazing dog named EmmyLou she is an English American Bulldog.

We have an Akbash/ Anatolian shepherd and he is the most chill dog, until there is a threat. His bark is AMAZING, but seldom. He loves to patrol and is the BEST dog we have ever had. He has always been a people protector, never much interest in farm animals. We love him beyond words.

My favorite is Poppy. She is so cute. I love it when she runs and plays. She will crash and sleep wherever. I just love that pup.

[@VertigoBear]

Love learning about each dog! Do all of them!

[@anniereddj]

I'm REALLY looking forward to this video series!! I am dogless for the first time since 1990. All lived long lives and came into my life for the most part from people I knew, co-workers, friends, friends of friends, etc except my first. My first I adopted from a shelter. My life has changed a lot , long story, and I'm now mostly homebound in a wheelchair but am only 58 and have a lot of life and love still in me! It's just very hard to get to shelters and am searching mostly online. Your descriptions will be the closest to in person I can get and if I can determine a breed perhaps I can find a rescue to work with me. Thank you!!

Hello 👋 Ann How are you doing today?

[@jayden-michelle3459]

Check the specifics of a golden retriever rescue, highly trainable, loyal, dedicated, and are human like, they like to help you. Mine is an emotional sensory dog, he can tell my mood,. I have PTSD, and he knows what to do! If I'm agitated he gets on the floor and wiggles around like a worm and makes this sound like he's talking. When I'm having a difficult time emotionally he comes to me and stares at me making me shift my attention to him and not my past or he'll bring me one of his babies (stuffed animal) for comfort - he carries them around for security as all goldens do them he puts them in individual places next to where he poops(not in the poop) so my other dogs don't tear them up, so I wash them often! Lol. There a remarkable breed. Just a suggestion because they are so human-like. Best wishes on your hunt for a companion!

[@lizkrafft4343]

Lee, Your show is so addictive, I have to force myself to stop! But I'm learning so much from your shows about dogs that I never knew! And your humor, - so cute how you called the piglings. 🐷🐷

[@donnapuckett4992]

God Bless you, Lee for all that you do for God's beautiful creatures!!!! Love to all at the Asher House!

[@phoenixluna4137]

Another wonderful video

[@tinabindschatel5166]

I am so glad you are doing this series of videos! Can't wait to see more!

[@notmebutyou8350]

I've said it before and I'll say it again. You, Mr. Asher, are a beautiful man, inside and out. I love what you do with the dogs and how you take care of them. They are so blessed to have you as their doggie dad. ❤️❤❤❤❤

[@meandtoby3272]

Lee Asher you are one in a million! Your heart is the size of the ocean far, wide and deep! God will continue to richly bless you for loving his innocent and precious animals. You are the Guardian Angel of all innocent animals. God bless you Lee! I love you for who you are.

[@lisme271]

Just always so happy for you and your huge blessed family

[@andiea5743]

I love that video and to keep doing them on all the dogs. It's great to hear their original rescue story but also really great to hear about them after they've settled in to the pack. I also loved the beginning where you explained dog behavior when they first come together in an outdoor space. That is very helpful to understand. Keep doing everything that you're doing, Lee! We love it!!

[@alexoliver4222]

Hello 👋 Andie How are you doing today?

[@marycoggins4283]

We have an anatolian rescue and he has been the absolute best boy. We live in an urban are, but we have three cats that he views as his flock. This is the most affectionate dog ever. He wants to be touching someone all the time, and despite being 100lbs, thinks he belongs in a lap. We’d love to eventually give him more space to roam free and maybe even watch over animals that aren’t cats, but it hasn’t been readily available to us yet.

[@edithporter668]

Anatolian sheperds are excellent family dogs with children. They love children and are excellent baby sitters. My daughter has two of them and Russian Caucasian shepherd and they all are super family dogs and love guarding the children.

[@choppyfiftysix4065]

Have a beautiful & fun weekend. Thanks for the vid. Love watching your enthusiasm about your babes & life in general. Amazingly motivating. Thank you🌞❤️

[@halfpint674]

Great idea!! Thank you for sharing.

[@cheryldumas953]

Hi Lee, I am known as the chihuahua lady here in my hometown…. I rescued a chi/min pin mix who was found roaming the streets at 6 mos…. Now my poor girl looks like a delicate min pin, and has the exhaustive energy of a min pin, but her personality is pure chihuahua!!!! When I got her, she was pretty much full grown, but weighed in at 6 lbs….very thin! Now she is a whopping 8 lbs! She had my heart when she jumped into my wheelchair and put her front paws around my neck and started the wonderful chihuahua kisses! No dog can side eye the way quesa does! I’ve learned thru my 30 years of fostering, that if you have no expectations about a dog, they will end up being the best they can be…. It’s when you try to change their personalities, you have failed them. Keep up the good work! You hit the nail on the head with this one viDeo!

[@larrainebrowne6710]

Lee, you are heaven sent. I’m absolutely sure of it. The dog world really needed you and so many millions of people worldwide love you for what you are doing for the animals of this world, especially all those lucky dogs around Sacramento. I just wish we had a Lee Asher here in Queensland Australia. Sure, we have shelters but your shelter and especially you show those dogs so much love. God bless you.

[@kbo991]

Lee: I am so excited to hear about this new series describing your dogs! A smart concept indeed. Looking forward to the next one!! Keep up the great work!!❤🥰

[@JackieOgle]

Every dog has their own personality just like people. They re as individual as we are. Thank you Lee for doing this. All breeds are different too. We have two, male, havanese/poodle pups now 15 mos. old. We also have the runt of the litter with his brother, Ethan, who is bigger than Ezra. Ezra, the runt, is definitely the ALPHA MALE and let's his brother know that hourly. He eats first, Ethan hangs back, then eats. It's crazy. Ezra then grabs the bones or treats under and away from his brother while his brother just sits there. It's a dominance thing The Havanese breed is an old one and they were smuggled in from Havana, Cuba. They are very sweet, gentle and loving dogs. We wanted that with 7 grandkids. Also poodles are super intelligent, have stellar physical attributes and fortify these other breeds and are hypoallergenic and don't shed. A win win for out allergy sufferers. These dogs LOVE everyone esp kids!!! They are very protective but not aggressive at all. They do bark but would not hurt anyone. These dogs are velcro, couch potatoes boys but love, love, everyone and all animals!! So far so good! They do get a little over-excited when people come over just wanting to love on them so much. A little training is needed for sure! Lee, it's awesome what you are doing. Each dog has his place and personality. It's amazing how accepting they are of each other. Like they know. Just beautiful! I have my dogs on YOUR CBD oil too! Blessings Lee and love! Keep your positive affirmations and manifestations going! They work!🙏❤️🤗🌞😇 🙌🙌 Sorry for the novel!😊

[@PamelaLadySong]

Lee Asher I wish there were more people like you in this world. May God bless you and your fur babies with long and healthy lives. Thank you so much for what you are doing!!!!!

[@sharonsolana]

A Day in the Life of Belly! Thank you for making this type of video! Oh my, what beautiful pups! It would be fun and interesting if you include more footage of the dog you are showcasing for the day. Where Belly sleeps, Belly getting a snack, Belly sitting on the couch with Dad,... In other words, A Day in the Life of Belly!

[@rumigirl]

I agree, that would be fun, but it requires a lot of searching through footage to do that, and then a lot of editing -- meaning, a lot of work.

[@sharonsolana]

@@rumigirl I know...sigh. I enjoyed hearing Belly's history, but I missed seeing him play, lounge with Dad,...

[@rumigirl]

@@sharonsolana I know, me too. 😊 Well, maybe Lee will see your comment and say something about this in a video. 😊

[@sharonsolana]

@@rumigirl After all, Lee does have a lot of pups to take care of! 😊

[@rumigirl]

@@sharonsolana Yes!!!! 😊

[@Acadian.FrenchFry]

I love this series. I cannot wait for these videos. I live in an area out in the Napa Valley where Anatolians, Maremmas and Great Pyrenees are popular breeds with the people who raise sheep or cows. Also some have them on their vineyards to protect their grapes from wild boar, etc. Great dogs! And you are so right they really need to live where they have a job and some land to roam.

[@alexoliver4222]

Hello 👋 Acadian How are you doing today?

[@carolz5090]

Really interesting vid Lee, this is gonna be a helpful series. 👍 Looking forward to learning more about the pack.

[@laurajohnston6114]

You have definitely found your purpose in life. Thank you for educating humans on the importance of homing “rescues” and sharing the amount of exercise these wonderful creatures need .

[@cristinaward19]

Anatolians and Great Pyrenees are amazing family dogs. The perfect balance of loving and protective.They are often at shelters because they were good at their job. It's their job to patrol. It's their job to bark loudly.

[@jnel715]

This is a good series focus - explaining each dog's temperament, personality, breed etc. I'll keep notifications on for each episode of this. This one was good about the Anatolian Shepherd 'Belly' but because there were so many dogs in this footage, I didn't see so much of 'Belly'. Although I have seem 'Belly' in other videos.

[@borntoroam2468]

Love how you're so in tune with all your animals Lee. I always enjoy your videos! From one fellow Oregonian to another, enjoy the great outdoors here with your friends!

[@carolynkalisch7128]

You young man are a remarkable human being. The love and care you give to all creatures, is inspiring. You give a voice to those that have no voice of their own. Whether for years or a short time only, these animals experience unconditional love (maybe for the first time in their little lives) because of you.

[@raenutting3240]

Belly is a watcher guardian. I love him from when you got him. Im Drawn to Bellie, Rollie and Lucy first.

[@alexoliver4222]

Hello 👋 Rae How are you doing today?

[@deborahnorthover5304]

It will be really lovely to hear about the traits of your pack; I remember when you found Billy, he had such a scary start to life and I was so glad you raised them to be wonderful pack members. Here’s to your next talk 🐾💕🧸

[@stressedcharmed]

LOVE this series on the dogs' personalities! Great idea 🤩

[@michelleg7383]

I adopted an Anatolian shepherd that was abandoned last year. To be honest I was not comfortable with the size and feared he would not do well in my pack but I am amazed as his protective nature and his happy easy to be. I love him to pieces and he has taught us a lot of kindness and service to the pack. He loves his puppy friend that I got after and protects her from the big guys. Spot on your description. I do put him in at least 4 hours at night or he barks at very far objects that are not a threat to our family so amazing senses bewilder us all the time.

[@jenmdawg]

I just inherited an Anatolian puppy when my SO died. Such a lovely, smart, independent and fun dog. He’s saved my life - in all this grief I have a bright light.
