Story
**It is very important to reserach the breed if you are not familiar with them, as livestock guardians have their own set of idiosyncracies that need to be considered. Reminder: Anatolians are NOT German Shepherds, but instead are a very different breed.

She's a big hit with everyone and she, in return, adores all. She can sometimes get too excited and hug with enthusiasm, but we're working on that because she's a big girl who is still growing. Hattie loves dogs and would be very lonely and more anxious without them. She has a heart of gold and really cares about her people and friends, sticking by your side as you go through your daily adventures. Hattie enjoys hugs, gives very gentle kisses and takes her treats/meds gently, as well..to boot, she's an excellent alarm clock, so you'll never oversleep! She loves to play and run around the yard with her best buds, tongue hanging out and incredibly happy; a playful buddy would make her very happy, for she would be very sad as an only dog.
**It is very important to research the Anatolian Shepherd breed if you are not very familiar with them, as they are not a breed for everyone. While Hattie is a lovely, gentle, happy girl, the breed does have it's own idiosyncracies that need to be understood and considered, such as running, roaming, barking, and other animals.***Hattie will need to be surpervised while outdoors during the transition to her new home. She will also need to continue house training and her anti-anxiety meds, to which she has responded very well. She is a strong girl, so her new family must be comfortable with this. A 6ft fence is required, and she can never be trusted off leash, even for short distances.
