When You Have an Anatolian Shepherd...

you realize that they work in teams....and that you need another.

It takes over a year to train one of these dogs to be a loyal livestock guardian, and another 6 months after that to teach it "manners".  You can not train one that has no instinct.
Both Aegis and Koruma are outstanding dogs.  Koruma can be a handful, but she learns quickly and she has her livestock skills.  Now we need to teach her manners.  Her daddy does a great job.  He is a guardian of goats and chickens, protector of all things small....and shredder of trash.  Koruma is learning.

Think it is all fun & games?  Have a look at this face!  (and try to ignore all the shredded trash in the background)
