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.
