Akbash Breeders

Akbash Dogs are one of the oldest of the flock-guarding group. The breed is the counterpart of the French Great Pyrenees, the Hungarian Kuvasz, the Italian Maremma and other white sheep guarding breeds. Akbash puppies and dogs still carry the same mental and physical traits that characterized them thousands of years ago. Akbash Dogs are large, lean, muscular and powerful with an elegant, racy appearance. The Akbash Dog’s characteristics are a combination of the Mastiff and Gazehound. They are powerful dogs with medium to long white fur, bred specifically to distinguish them from wolves. They have been bred as a guardian dog whose primary function is to protect sheep from predators. Akbash puppies and dogs are calm, quiet and brave. They require respect in training and raising them. They are protective and affectionate to their family. But to strangers, this dog is a good guardian and watchdog. If Akbash puppies are not socialized properly at a young age, they will be aggressive towards all intruders. The Akbash requires a firm and dog-experienced owner seeking a loyal guardian and friend.
