Anatolian Shepherd
"Tara O." wrote in message ... I saw my first live Anatolian just now. A couple in our neighborhood was out walking their 9mo GIGANTIC white female. We all (our dogs and my husband) stood on the curb talking dogs for a while. I told them that their breed is not a common one around here. They said they got lucky after doing research and deciding on this breed that there was a breeder within 6 hours driving distance. Her name is Noodle (why I have no idea) and she's huge..*really* huge. She's already taller than her dam according to them checking in with the breeder and marking her height and weight progress. She's a big softy though and looked at Fancy (who was pitching a fit and stomping on the ground) like she was crazy lol. She wandered around, into our garage, gave kisses to everyone and tolerated Ely's (the puppy I have here) kisses and antics. We've got a client at the vet clinic that has an Anatolian and an Anatolian/ Maremma cross. And, there are a few folks that don't live too far that have Belgians (a Laeken and a Malinois), and a BC that also have an Anatolian. They are really neat dogs, and I think that if I were ever in the position to need a LGD of some sort I'd want an Anatolian (who knows, maybe someday I'll have those goats & sheep I want, if I can convince hubby of it, we'd need something for the coyote other than the Fabulous Barking Duo!). Fairly standoffish, and big big big! :-) Of course, I like Leonbergers too...I've got the cutest photos of a 12 wk old Leo working sheep. He's about 1/3 the size of the sheep--at that age!
