"The Akbash personality tends to be calm and aware. As a breed, it is not shy, nor is it aggressive. When used as a protection dog, it is suspicious of strangers in its territory, and unusual sounds and changes in its environment. The breed is not naturally hostile, and is, instead, naturally discerning, bred to think independently. The Akbash can be powerful against predators, yet, when properly exposed, be gentle with newborn lambs and goat kids. The usual first means of protection by an Akbash is prudently warning potential threats by barking or growling. The Akbash will chase away a predator, or physically protect against it, only if it deems that wise and necessary."

Sounds like a good dog to have in areas with active SWAT teams.

It’s somewhat ironic that a breed like this would come from a Muslim nation that without exception, hates/fears dogs.

Which, were I preparing to intrude on this dog's territory, would be warning enough for me...
