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.

New Hampshire’s colonial history is closely entwined with dogs, especially the working sled dogs bred here in the early 20th century. The modern Granite State is still home to sled dogs as well as pampered pet canines who love spending time in the dog parks and visiting the dozens of trails, rivers, lakes and woods of the White Mountains National Forest. Pups who love to get wet and wild at the beach have a couple of great options, too: Foss Beach, Seabrook Beach and Great Island Common offer plenty of natural space and fresh air for doggies to run and play during the off-season and outside of peak visitor hours.
