THE PASTORAL GROUP
The ÇOBAN KÖPEGI used in Turkey to guard flocks and villages from predators, yet retains a responsible concern for children and stock. The Anatolian is a large, upstanding dog of powerful build. Early socialisation is essential for this breed and the do not do well in the kennel as they thrive on affection.. The coat is short, dense and double.
Colour- all colours are accepted in the K.C. standard but whole colours are preferred, cream to fawn with black mask and ears
All broken images need entries! put your dog here.
In the UK the Anatolian is shown under breed classes at a few shows, or Any Variety Not Seperately Classified - A.V.N.S.C. This can be AVNSC Pastoral, or AVNSC Working/Pastoral/Toy or any other combination of other groups!
They do NOT have Championship Status under KC Rules.
In Ireland, they have their own rules and these are the same as the F.C.I. - CAC and CACIB can be won here. At the moment GB residents, must register with the Irish Kennel Club to compete.
F.C.I. registered breeds should be able to show there, when quarantine is lifted in Feb 2000.
