Dog · Giant breed
Anatolian Shepherd
A powerful, independent livestock guardian with a dense undercoat. Plan secure space, early socialization, and regular brushing during shedding seasons. Regular walks and play offer a practical starting rhythm, then you can adjust to your dog's energy. Keep an eye on the double coat and build brushing into the usual care routine. The published 80–150 lb adult range is a starting point; your pet's measured weight is what matters for choosing food and gear.
