Bree my new puppy (Anatolian Shepherd) PICS

[cat1994]

Ive been worried about my animals after Evie my current farm protector passes away. I wanted to get a puppy that she could help teach the ways of the farm and such. Dad was reluctant to get any new breed (he has always had hounds) but I felt that now having my pigs around to protect maybe we should get a livestock guardian dog. Well dad was against it at first complaining about the long hair and the stand offish attitude he had experienced at the animal clinic when dealing with such dogs. Soooo I found a breeder in Advance MO right next door to us and took him there to meet the Anatolian Shepherd breed next thing I know I got one for my birthday lol

Here is Bree my 7 week old Anatolian Shepherd pup

She is such a smart girl really I've already got her trained to a leash, now I'm working on getting her to sit for me before I open each gate... I thought Evie would teach her a thing or two but seems like this lil girl came with it lol

She goes with me as I take care of each of my animals like a shadow. In the chicken pens and houses, in the duck house, even in the hog hut and pen, she has be introduced to everybody. Even Gus my mini donkey said hello and was very nice (he dislikes anything dog) She keeps such a level head about it, very calm just observing before finally going up to get a better look. She is sharing a pen with some of my chickens for now, but she doesn't get to spend much time in her pen. We are always walking the fence rows or just hanging around the pigs...

Thanks much! She was the prettiest girl out of the bunch! lol The breeders said that in their experiences that color usually whitens with age. So she will most likely grow up to look like her mom (blonde coloring with the mask). We decided to get a girl as I heard that they tend to roam less than males
This would have to be the best birthday ever! Frist I get a mini donkey (Gus) from my mom (she bought him thinking he could be a livestock guardian for my pigs) and now I get Bree from my dad, my future farm guardian dog.

She is a cutie, makes me want another pup

Make sure you introduce your pup to the donkey carefully, I have heard that some donkeys will try and kill dogs. I have no experience, just what I have read and heard.
