garethr Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 You certainly like "interesting" dogs, Chris. Many wolves in your part of Shropshire, are there? Although they apparently make good guardians of bird flocks as well.... http://www.anatoliandog.org/poultry.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love to see wolvesback in the wild again, much misunderstood and maligned creatures that they are. I am actually seriously thinking of amending our DWA licence to include timber wolves... But I won't be relasing any! Janes Anatolian does guard the birds, `tis true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted July 26, 2006 Author Share Posted July 26, 2006 How big do they get Chris, weight and height wise? Aslan, in the vid, is now 33 inches and weighs about 150 pounds, but he's a bit of a brute, and on the large end of the scale. He frightens me just by sheer presence but he's a softie really.

Shame, one of them was asking if you'd take him away from this mad house, I had to lie to him, and say "Soon, he's nearly smitten" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supragal Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 Ahh, spotty ones Theres 2 near me, one is that colour. I don't like the idea of ear cropping but it does look cool- our dobe obviously has all his ears but they do look better with them cropped. Wouldn't do it though, wish he still had his tail in fact. I might make him an extension tail so that he can wag it, he's always wiggling his little stump, he'd love to have a tail to wag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garethr Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 Ignoring the animal rights issues, I really don't like cropped ears, especially on Dobermanns and Danes. As Pete said, those huge pointy ears sticking up in the air make the dog look like a permanently surprised clown. I suppose it might have had some purpose in preventing injury when Danes were fulfilling their original purpose, but they were probably cropped really short then.
