Bubba

Meet Bubba, a four year old male Anatolian shepherd dog. Bubba is fun loving dog that was super excited to get out of his kennel and stretch his legs. Anatolian shepherds are part of the working group of dogs per the American Kennel Club (see http://www.akc.org/breeds/anatolian_shepherd_dog/) 

According to the AKC, they originated in Turkey and were bred to be shepherd and guard dogs. They are loyal and good with children but need some supervision "around them in case they interpret rough plas as a need to guard 'his' child." Anatolians were also bred to make independent decisions while herding and can be a little slow in responding to commands. For more info follow the link to the ACK website given above.

Bubba enjoyed being out. He is good with the leash. Being a big dog, he does need to be held firmly on the leash. If you are interested in meeting Bubba, come to the eastside shelter. Take his ID# (A1573852) to one of the staff in the shelter lobby. They will point you to Bubba's kennel.
