Love my Anatolian shepherd

[Trigger Mike]

A few years ago my goats were attacked by some dogs so a friend who raises $1,700 goats has a pack of Anatolian shepherd dogs so I bought one.  If one of my other dogs poked his nose in the goat pen the shepherd would try to bite it but if he was out he played with the other dogs.  He eventually got bored in the goat pen and jumped the fence and lived in the yard.  
 

anytime coyotes are remotely nearby he charges at the pack.  No fear.  Some of my lab dogs follow but most hide on the porch.  
 

I sold my goats and went to cows and yesterday got my first calf.  On his own the shepherd jumped into the fence and sat in his on guard position and watched over the calf nearby but far enough away to not fret the mama and this morning he was back out again.  
 

he has a deep bark so everyone who visits is nervous but he doesn’t attack just watches closely.  He doesn’t like to be petted .  
 

as a reward I cooked a pound of deer and took it to him and held the other dogs so he could eat in peace.  He usually doesn’t share anyway.

Without a picture, it didn’t happen.

Yup. Need a picture for this one.  New guns and dogs threads always need pictures! 😉

Now that the calf is moving good he stays in the yard again
