One of my neighbors who has a few fancy sheep has an Anatolian Shepherd that is a pet and sleeps indoors-since the sheep are behind an electric fence with a barn, I don’t suppose he has much guarding to do-he is friendly, but really scary looking and huge-I would not try to go onto their property uninvited...
I have a friend who has an Anatolian Shepherd. A local tough guy sicced his pit bull on the shepherd. No more pit bull.
Yes, I can understand that. Wiki says these pups actively hunt predators in the vicinity of their flocks, even taking on wolf packs, and are capable of taking down lions.
Seems that as house pets they're not really into chew toys or playing fetch.
