Anatolians at work

All of this over a Snake Skin

The pups alert to all new noises, smells, and sounds they perceive as a could be threat. A snake skin had fallen from the tree they were under.

Pups are greeting properly

The pups interact with sheep and goat. They are praised for correct behavior and corrected for being rough. The momma goats help in this process.

Pups are growing

As they gain sight and hearing they begin to explore and respond to sound. They are engaging in social play, and learning sibling boundaries

Gentle Protector

Bowser is naturally gentle and patient while protecting newborns. Male and female Anatolians take the role of caregiver when mom steps away.

This is a tame, "don't come near warning."

These dogs can hear, smell, and sense an intruder near. I never figured out what this was about. But they knew.
