Yeah, puppy out of question! Not many trained in my area. Looking, for sure. Hard to find a tru LGD in my area. Especially two! Don't want a pyr. What some say are toli are mixed....lotta pit around! Not wanting that. A work in progress.

Adopt sites have what they "say" toli but you are looking at the pit, boxer, herders in the pics. 😤 Maybe 1 in 10 are really toli. Talk about a crap shoot...of that 10% many are too old & house pets.

Sent pic to DD who lives at back end of farm. She says something was under her trailer...it growls 🙄😵‍💫🤔🤨. Her dog growls. I'll go tonight and check that out. Maybe a fox, or feral cat. I'll carry more than my spotlight! No opening for any size to get thru, we sealed it pretty good...but :idunno
I love Anatolians. I had two that were the best. I had two that were awful. One so unpredictable I had him euthanized. The other (Sophie) has problems because of neglect and abuse and breeding. Regarding breeding, Anatolians have been compromised by Turkish and other breeders crossing LGDs with fighting dogs. Fighting dogs in Turkey is illegal and lucrative. So is shipping large tan dogs all over the world labeled LGD. Detailed info was on the Kangal Breeders of America website but is gone. Unless you go to a very reputable breeder or find a very experienced dog, avoid anatolians, Kangals, causican shepherds basically anything originating in Turkey or the surrounding countries. I know I sound harsh but - experience.

View attachment 96295neighbor just sent this bobcat pic from one of his game cams. He's walking toward my front pasture of goats!! 😱. Went out and didn't see anything...but!! That's the size of maybe a boxer dog with shorter legs.... He's asking of any losses and offers a hunt for it if so.
Ummmm - bobcat??? With a LONG tail? nahhh - something else Mountain lion??

I slept late. Still taking medicine for the head cold crud. It makes me sleepy. I woke up early but drifted back to sleep. Been outside, done chores, going to be a drizzly day. On second cup of coffee, watched Buford and Sheba out the window. Zoomies! They ran all over the field while serious Sentry went on fence line patrol.

My hair is so bad, I whacked on it to get hair out of my eyes before Christmas! I cut my long hair…… maybe less than a year ago and went back to a shag haircut. A shag haircut always looks messed up, so no “styling” to get it looking “right” no fixing the unfixable. It suits my lifestyle.
