About Kenai

Adoption Fee: $100
Anatolian Shepherd / German Shepherd
Age: Puppy
Sex: Male

Kenai is 50% German shepherd, 25% Anatolian shepherd, and 25% Great Pyrenees. Despite this, he acts and looks completely like an Anatolian (with a German shepherd muzzle). At 8 months, he is 75-80 pounds and has NO idea how big he is. He is very social and does well with all people. He has done really well with dogs of all sizes (corgi to great dane) at the dog park. No food aggression and is VERY food motivated, which has helped with training. He does love to dig ��%BD��%BD%BD��%BD��%BD%BD��%BD��%BD%BD, regularly supplements his diet with any small critter he can catch, and loves to play with sticks. He is very loyal and loves to be close to his humans and gratefully accepts belly rubs from anyone willing to oblige. He has a lot of anxiety about getting in the car. We have been working on this and have made moderate progress (enough to get him to the dog park a few times). Kenai needs the benefit of an experienced dog trainer who can bring out the best in a dog of this breed/background. He is very smart, but also incredibly stubborn. He also needs a trainer who is up to the challenge of a dog this size when it comes to physical strength. While he has been around small children, he would be best in a home with older children, as he is very big and will only get bigger. Ideally, he would have a 'job' as a livestock guard, with space to run and dig and bark (did I mention he likes to bark?) Kenai is not an ideal 'neighborhood' dog, as his bark is big, deep, and frequent. If he cannot roam freely on a large property, he will need a 6 ft fence.
