Can't be that many. I've neither seen nor heard of one and I've seen a great many dogs in my time.

Generalising here but being an uncommon breed probably means they have a very limited breeding pool, some truly bizarre genetic abnormalities and a demanding, controlling and obnoxious breed society.

I have a dog.

Was walking down the street the other day and a toddler pointed at him and said 'Mummy, it's a cow!"

I have a cow dog.

I might try and milk him later.

I have seen one in Stoke Newington. Lots of Kurds and Turks there. Seems to be 'their' national dog. The owner says it cost about 2k. Pretty tall and confident dog.

That looks more like a Kangal - more curly tail - not there's much difference between them really. Pretty much the same dog. I think the Anatolian is a bit more fluffy (coat wise).

I had that looked at them - but the consensus was "can't let them off the lead when out, ever."

Of course some claim they have total trust in theirs.

I'd want to make sure I definitely was in the right situation to be able to own one look after it properly.

Woman walks about 8 dogs in the racecourse near my bit, one of them is a kangal and it stays off leash. Alot of Americans have anatolian, from what I have read you must keep them leashed near your home l, however they should be ok away from there territory. Lovely looking dogs I'm and have a excellent temperament, great with family's and kids.
