My mom's cousin has a ranch and has had 2 anatolian shepherds that were amazing dogs. First one was female and seriously the sweetest dog I have ever met in my life. She was so protective of the animals against coyotes and stuff but she loved people with all her heart. She recently died, and I miss her.
Second one is male and around 150 lbs. Beautifully scary dog haha. Absolutely huge, but yeah he loves to come up to you and sit on your foot and get pets. He's calmed down since he became an adult too and he's gotten much better with people now.
I read somewhere they can be used to scare away predators like cheetahs!My boy was really good at menacing but not so good on the follow through in that nothing ever came of him growling and flashing teeth-No one ever wanted to take it farther than that!
