Description
Dog Breed: Anatolian Shepherd (medium coat). Mr. Pickles may technically be a dog, but with his extra-large size and larger-than-life personality, this guy is arguably more akin to a horse! Heâs got plenty of personality packed into that enormous frame, and heâs a dog with two very distinct sides. One is a silly, youngster who is always ready to show off his playful side, while the other is more serious and cautious, needing a little time and encouragement to discover that the world isnât such a scary place. Mr. Pickles approaches new people, places, and experiences with curiosity, slowly investigating everything until he decides itâs safe. He is still a bit unsure about leashed walks, so heâll need a patient home willing to help him build his confidence and learn at his own pace. But even when Mr. Pickles is feeling a little unsure, thereâs a wonderfully goofy guy hiding underneath it all!

Overview:
The Anatolian Shepherd, an ancient and noble breed, hails from the rugged plains of Anatolia (modern-day Turkey), where they served as formidable guardians of livestock for thousands of years. These impressive dogs are renowned for their substantial size, typically weighing between 80-150 pounds and standing 27-29 inches tall, boasting a dense double coat that can range in color but is often fawn with a black mask. Their independent and intelligent nature makes them exceptional working dogs, displaying a strong protective instinct balanced with a calm demeanor. While fiercely loyal to their families, their guardian roots mean they are not ideal for apartment living; they thrive in homes with ample space and a job to do, making them unsuitable for inexperienced owners. With proper socialization and training, they can be wonderful companions, though their watchful nature means they often bond more closely with one or two family members. Generally a robust breed, potential health concerns include hip and elbow dysplasia, and bloat.
