We have raised Anatolian Shepherd mixes for years, and keep them as our full-time livestock guardian dogs. We currently own two, Sherman and Tank. These incredible dogs serve an essential role on our farm, protecting our livestock, poultry, and property from predators and other threats. Their behavior and temperament must be understood within the context of the work they were specifically bred to perform.
Anatolian Livestock Guardian Dogs are a unique working breed developed over thousands of years to independently protect livestock from predators. Unlike many companion breeds, Anatolians are naturally territorial, highly protective, and instinctively alert to perceived threats near their property, family, or flock. These behaviors are not signs of aggression, but rather the very traits for which the breed was selectively bred and valued!
Because they were developed to make independent decisions without constant human direction, Anatolians assess situations differently than other dogs. They are known to bark at strangers, patrol property boundaries, and act as a deterrent to anything they perceive as a potential threat. These behaviors are completely normal and expected within the breed.
When evaluating an Anatolian’s actions, it is crucial to understand the breed’s purpose and natural instincts. Behaviors such as territorial barking, guarding, vigilance, and *protective responses* are inherent and important characteristics of these breeds. Understanding the breed of ANY livestock guardian dog and their unique temperament is critical to ensuring fair and accurate assessments of their behavior.
As owners and handlers of livestock guardian dogs for over a decade, we believe any evaluation of Snuggles should take into account the breed’s purpose, instincts, and working heritage. Behaviors that may appear concerning when viewed through the lens of a typical household pet are often normal, expected, and even desirable traits in a livestock guardian breed. Fair assessment requires an understanding of what these dogs were bred to do and how they naturally interact with their environment.
We ask for a fair assessment of Snuggles, and that this beautiful animal be returned to his family where he belongs and thrives!

We found out that our sweet Nessa has a very large tumor on her spleen that is likely cancer
The vets have kindly allowed us to bring her home so she can spend her final night in her favorite place, surrounded by the family who adores her 1/
@TrinitySweeny@Simibella13 You don't have to look at our bureaucratic system for long before you begin to discern the face of Satan in it. He's not just a horned beast with hooves and a tail. He sometimes appears in business casual and works in a cubicle.
@BuzzPatterson We’re not all angry buzz. There are plenty of us who appreciates that we live in the best country in the world. Only the Nimrod’s don’t get it.
