Are Akbash dogs good with other dogs?

Yes, Akbash dogs can be good with other dogs, but proper socialization is absolutely key. Since they are highly protective, these livestock guardian dogs can be defensive toward other dogs who enter their space. 

If you adopt an Akbash dog as a puppy, it’s crucial to thoroughly socialize them with other dogs. Have a range of dogs come over to your home during their eight to 12-week early socialization phase if possible.

If you are adopting an adult Akbash dog, it’s best to introduce the current dogs in your household to them first before committing to the adoption to make sure everyone can coexist peacefully.
