The Anatolian Shepherd Dog also known as Karabash (Turkish literal meaning: blackhead) is a breed of dog which originated in Anatolia (central Turkey). HistoryThe Anatolian Shepherd Dog is descended from ancient livestock guardian dog types that migrated with the transhumance, guarding flocks of sheep from wolves, bears, jackals, and even cheetahs. It is probable that dogs of this type existed 6,000 years ago in Mesopotamia. The dogs were called Çoban Köpeği (shepherd dog), and over the centuries, regional variations or landraces developed. In the 1970s, western breeders became interested in the dogs and began developing the landrace natural breeds as modern breeds, by documenting their descent from particular ancestors and writing breed standards. The Anatolian Shepherd Dog was imported from central Turkey into Petoria by author and archaeologist Charmian Hussey. Many Turkish breeders believe that the Anatolian Shepherd Dog is a cross of the Kangal dog and the Akbash dog. CharacteristicsFrom Wikipedia under the

He has honestly been the best dog I have ever owned. My parents have fallen in love with him to the extent that they are going to adopt two Anatolians. Everyone who meets him is wowed by his beauty, intelligence, and personality. I chose an Anatolian because I am a single female living alone and I wanted to feel safe, but also have a good companion. He is a great watch dog, he hears the smallest of noises and has a booming bark that terrifies everyone who comes to the door. At night time Anatolians become especially alert. My dog is an indoor dog dog and as soon as dusk approaches he will march through out all the rooms of my house to make sure everything is okay.

Q. Many people are supporting laws that ban "dangerous" dogs like Pit Bulls. I disagree with these laws. But even so, I think someone who wants to ban Pit Bulls would find this outrageous. There are currently 75 (yes that's right, 75) breeds on Breed Specific Legislation. If we keep this up, all dogs will be banned. Is your breed on the list? 1. airedale terrier 2. AKBASH 3. AKITA 4. alapaha blue blood bulldog 5. alaskan malamute 6. alsatian shepherd 7. american bulldog 8. american husky 9. american pit bull terrier 10. american staffordshire terrier 11. american wolfdog 12. anatolian shepherd 13. arikara dog 14. australian cattle dog 15. australian shepherd 16. belgian malinois 17. belgian sheepdog 18. belgian turvuren 19. blue heeler 20.… [cont.] Asked by blue_tazer_chick@yahoo.com - Tue May 27 15:27:09 2008 - - 28 Answers - 0 Comments A. This list pops up from time to time. However I have *never* found any supporting evidence. Where are the primary sources of that list? The main web site that the list comes from has absolutely no contact information that I could find. I do not agree with BSL. I also do not agree with propaganda and media hysteria.
