Are Anatolian Shepherds good with other dogs?
Yes, Anatolian Shepherds can be good with other dogs, but they tend to need consistent support and socialization to feel comfortable and tolerant around other pups. Because they have retained their highly protective nature and continue to excel as guardian dogs, some Anatolian Shepherds are reserved, selective, or uncomfortable around other dogs, especially those who aren’t a part of their household. When raised with other dogs from a young age, Anatolian Shepherds are more likely to coexist peacefully and even form strong bonds with their canine companions.
When adopting an Anatolian Shepherd, especially as an adult with an unknown socialization history, a realistic goal may be to support them in tolerating and feeling calm around other dogs rather than being playful or cheerful with other canines.
