A relative has an Anatolian shepherd. He's bigger than George. He's very gentle, unless you're a coyote, or if you're a creature trying to eat his food. #DogsOfCoSo
@poemblaze He's beautiful!
@dauphin87 Yes. I wish there was something else in the picture that would give a size reference.
@poemblaze @dauphin87 They're a guardian breed, also known as Kangal Shepherd. Sadly, in Turkey they're sometimes used as fighting dogs.
I found a couple pics with people.

@nonayadambidnes @dauphin87 Thank you. Guarding is exactly why they got him. He defends the livestock.
@nonayadambidnes @dauphin87 I don't doubt it.
@poemblaze @dauphin87 They'll take on wolves and coyotes and even bears! Absolutely fearless. π
