I've only lost a very weak nuc, but a commercial buddy has lost 30. We're very close to spring here in Florida, highs in the upper 60s and low 70 are in the forecast for next week. So we're almost out of the woods. After my buddies loses, I've decided to start feeding next week when it warms...

What is the life expectancy of Anatolian shepherds?

I started using an oxalic acid vaporizer. It's very cost effective and very effective against mites. If you are handy you could make a vaporizer, I bought mine for about $130. OA is cheap and the treatments are pennies a hive. OAV is still not "legal" in the us, but well on it's way to being...

The chickens fly out of the coop run. 6 foot fence with a 2 foot L at the top to stop critters from climbing in. Then they have trouble getting back in because they wait too long and it starts getting dark. So they roost outside, usually low enough the dogs can reach them. One has been...

Toli is huge, big fast and strong. And he HATES baths. Do you guys give you anatolians baths? I hate to do it, but I'm pobably going to have to tie him to a tree and hose him off. he's too big to get into the tub or shower. I can't pick him up and get him in a trough or feeder. My well...

If so, what kind and what do you think about it. I'm doing some research now, leaning toward a TAGG as it gives text alerts if the dog is outside the zone. The zone is circular but you can vary the size. If Toli gets off the property, he can be in the next county in an hour with those long...

Finally got rock solid voice control over Toli chasing deer. 5 Deer in single file broke cover and trotted across a small clearing in front of Toli and I at about 40 yards. Toli was standing at attention, eyes glued to the deer. All I said was “Stay” when the first one broke cover, and...

and the Skunk won. :( Did the proxide, baking soda and Dawn brew... It certainly helped, but I ordered some stuff online that had rave reviews for next time. Hopefully he will have learned his lesson and there won't be a next time.

Obedience training. Due to Tolis size, Ive been taking him to Obedience training. Anatolians are known to be very stubborn, and making their own decisions and responding as they deem appropriate. Toli has always been well behaved, never even barked at other dogs or people in the classes...

I'm just a big wuss, Toli turned 8 months today and I took him to the vet and weighted him. He's 114lbs. I figured he was at LEAST 125 as it is all I can do to pick him up.... Just getting old I guess. Toli had been gaining 16lbs a month, Last two months he's gained 10lbs a month so he's...

As a Puppy 5 Months 6 Months 7.5 Months The 6 months photo is 94lbs, I had shown him at 6.5 when I posted this before, I was wrong, it was 6 months. But you can tell by the 7.5 month photo he has not slowed down yet. After he got over 75lbs I couldn't weigh him anymore so I only have...

My puppy Toli (now 7.5 months, 110+ pounds) pulled a gallon jug of Ant Poison sprinkles off my 4 wheeler last night. I always check on them before going to bed and saw them about 10pm laying head to head between me and the street light at the pump house. I figured they were up to no good so I...

Well Ive tried, but I can get Toli to jump in the truck. Talked to the breeder, none of his Anatolians will jump in the truck either. He has to pick them up and put them in the truck. Not an easy task as Toli is 7 months and well over 100lbs. Anybody else have this problem or any...

Here is Toli, our Anatolian Shepherd, at 6.5 months. 94lbs. Got his adult teeth now. Still growing fast, but starting to slow down.

My 5 month old blows thru the inground fence like it's not there. I've got the wide field version, it shocks him about 10' wide, but he hits it at a dead run and in two bounds is out the other side shaking his head. Time to work on the real fence, how high does it have to be. I'm thinking...

I've read the wiki and general Anatolian pages that state some basic ranges for size. My pup is 5.5 months old and is 88lbs. No fat, tall and lean. His mom and dad where gorgeous dogs, but both were 110 to 115. I think my pup is going to blow by the 110 mark before he's 9 months. Can...
