The Akbash is a large, white breed of dog that originated in Turkey. These dogs are similar in looks to Great Pyreneeses and white Labrador Retrievers. However, this muscular breed is distinct in origin. Akbashes were originally bred by shepherds to guard livestock and have protective instincts. Given their breeding history, this breed tends to be gentle with friends and family but reserved with strangers. These dogs not only have high levels of endurance, but are also very intelligent and trainable. For this reason, they are commonly used as security dogs or in search and rescue missions. As a family companion, this breed requires plenty of exercise to stay mentally and physically healthy.

More than half of Floridians are pet owners, and 40 percent of them have at least one dog in the family. If you live on an acre of land in the state of Florida, you can own up to four dogs. The most popular breed in this state is the German Shepherd, followed closely by the Labrador Retriever and the Golden Retriever. The most popular dog breed in the city of Orlando is none of those, however, but the French Bulldog! For coast-dwelling Floridian dog owners, there’s the added joy of the dog-friendly beaches on either side (and the bottom) of the panhandle.
