Coat: Smooth and mainly short, but longer around the collar and tail.

Character: Anatolian Shepherds are brave, cautious around strangers, and can sometimes be stubborn.

Temperament: Anatolian Shepherds get along well with other animals that they have known since they were young. While somewhat guarded around strangers, there are rarely problems with children in their own family.

Care: This breed requires very little grooming. During shedding, it is necessary to use a comb with a double row of metal teeth to remove dead and loose hairs.

Training: This dog requires a firm, experienced trainer. Training must begin quite early in an Anatolian Shepherd's life.

Activity: This breed requires a lot of exercise. A yard with a fence is required, as the dog will determine its own exercise needs.
