The Anatolian Shepherd has been known in the Anatolian plateau of Turkey for centuries. A large and noble animal, the Anatolian Shepherd is used as livestock guardians. More agile and slender than the Kuvasz and the Great Pyrenees, the Anatolian Shepherd is capable of immense endurance and speed. For many years, this Anatolian Shepherd breed was used as a wolf hunter/killer and a combat dog in wars.
