Akbash Dog

The Akbash Dog is an ancient breed originating from Turkey, primarily used as a guardian for livestock. This large to giant-sized dog has a muscular build, a short double coat that comes in white, and a wedge-shaped head. Known for its loyalty and protective nature, the Akbash Dog makes a great companion for active families who can provide the necessary space and exercise. With proper socialization, they can be gentle and even-tempered; however, their strong guarding instincts require careful training and handling.
