how old is your anatolian? she looks just like mine, which is just over 5 months old (was born on 11/22/09). she definitely uses her paws to communicate! "shake" was like the easiest to train her to do!! :)

@willowrand She's about 4 years old now- I'm pretty sure she was about 18 months old in the video. We're crazy about her... she's obedient, sweet and very good with our toddler!

It's not that hard. They all mind very well and they do most of their playing outside.

Addition, I have an Akbash. Same as Anatolian shepherd but white. She is fast, brave and affectionate. I tell you one thing. They definitely DO NOT need any training. They are EXTREMELY smart to know what to do. They just know it...They are the best dogs ever...

P.S. They always play with their paws. I think it is breed thing. My Akbash woould put her paws on you when she wants something or she would use her paw to pint something. AMAZING DOGS...

@cherrysushioscar You have lovely dogs, I've watched your vids a few times, amazing how Tina can keep up with the greyhound! My Turkish friends tell me that Akbas are best for young children and baby animals, Karabas are for big flocks on unfenced range, and Kangals are more focused on perimeters and territory. This has been true for the working dogs I've seen, and my dogs divide things up here - my Kangal wants to see the edges, but my Karabas is at my side always.

[cherrysushioscar]

@mugsford That is a great explanation. Just like you said, they are probably the same basic breed but their colors and strength developed silently different from one another depending on the region over the centuries. My Akbash was the only white one in a litter of 6. The others were Karabas.

[mugsford]

@cherrysushioscar in the US, Akbash, Kangal and Anatolian are treated as separate breeds, but they each turn up in the other's litters of puppies, so I think it is more likely that they are the same basic breed. Different types bred for the various climates and terrains found across Turkey. These different types emerge due to the wide genetic mix the Choban Kopegi developed over 1000's of years. My Karabas has an Akbas sister who has puppies that look Kangal. They are magnificent dogs.
