Hi Everyone- First time posting...I have a 10 month Anatolian Shepherd Female. Her name is Ida (named after mount Ida in modern day Turkey). She is liver and fawn with a very light brindle, white socks and a tipped tail. I really do think these are awesome and unique dogs. I love all of the different color variations! I am really excited to see everybody's post regarding this breed (haha...or breeds as I think there is some debate on that right now). I hope that Ida can become a therapy dog when she matures a bit as she has a very friendly, gentle demeanor. My neighbors all call her the Mayor. She is a funny girl! Anyway, I look forward to meeting everyone here and getting advice!! Cara
Welcome Cara and Ida. There do seem to be quite different types of Anatolians around now than when the first Karabash were imported into the UK - I think this might have been in the 1980's? I would be interested to hear more about the progress of Anatolians, and the divisions that have arisen. Please feel free to add more photos of your lovely Ida as she develops.
Hello Cara & Ida Lovely photo of her, she looks full of importance, very regal ☺️ How old us she? What do you need to do for her to become a therapy dog.?
