Akbash Dog

The Akbash breed began in Turkey, where centuries of natural selection have branded these dogs as guardians of livestock. Looked on as a very nurturing dog, they are completely dedicated to the family and any animal in it's charge. Akbash dogs stand between 27-31 inches tall and weigh between 75 to 100 pounds. Inappropriate aggression sometimes becomes a fault of the dog, but the protection when dedicated to a family could prove to be a pay off.
