Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Anatolian Shepherd - Maybe?

Bless you for adopting that fine girl.

Thanks for posting, ya done good.

Good for you both, looks like you’ll have a very loyal new friend!

Man what a great outcome. Congratulations and thanks.

What an adorable girl. I think she's already family. Probably never had so much house time in her life.

WIN\WIN

Its huge and wags alot and knocks over my beer...

Seriously though, when shes out patrolling its down but when something riles her up she curls it over her back. She has a scary bark too.

Hair is very golden retreiver- like. Heavy undercoat. She prefers to be outside and moves from spot to spot keeping an eye on things. The vet said no more than 3 years.

All of ours carry that tail curled up tight like that.

It took 3 weeks to train my GSP on the e-fence. It took this one 3 days.

She *HATES* cats.

Good on ya'

I'd almost bet she was tied to something with that collar when younger, no one ever checked it for size, got little care, and she either broke off or they didn't clip her back on the rope well.

SO happy she found your place.

Best post I've read so far today.

I love stories with happy endings like this one.
You've got a best friend for all her life.

Good looking pup, congrats on the new friend

Lovely lady

You & your family are great people for taking that dog & & caring for her...............looks like she's rewarding you will plenty of love.

I like most dogs better than most people.

Dogs snuffing out danger.

Overall lines and coloration suggest the Anatolian. Something different in the head, eyes, and coat

Spectacular dog, and beautiful.
Just a little jealous here.

Have you spent time with her in public places, and around other dogs? Your comments on the collar you found on her kinda suggest a neglectful, if not abusive background. I'm curious as to how she responds to people and animals. Besides cats...

Love it !

Congratulations.

Great story!

Good on you for taking her in and giving her a chance at a real home.

She was definitely exposed to some level of physical abuse, Im pretty sure by a man in her past life because she pretty much has bonded to my wife. She had submissive urination when I approached her too fast and once when I was putting my coat on she jumped back and cowered when I put my arm in the sleeve. She had food guarding issues too but now her and my 2 GSPs eat together no problem. My male GSP is a rescue also and had serious guarding issues.

Shes so far very friendly to people and other dogs. Actually friendly isnt accurate, she kind of gives them a once over then ignores them. But I dont know what she will do if my wife or I arent here so we keep her inside when we're not home.

Shes fast. Probably close to twice as fast as my GSPs, but she cant outmanuever them.
