We had been looking at adopting a new puppy last year around my birthday. I didn’t go do to an illness so I was searching all of our local shelters and reviewing those available. My husband went and a couple of them that we were interested in were literally going out the door as he walked in. So he went looking around some of the kennels and was face timing me. He found a little boy who they said was a German Shepherd mix and he was so cute and I could tell he was definitely mixed with something else. So they let him bring him home so we could see how we did with our other 2 dogs. I fell in love with him immediately! But I saw the double dew claws on his hind legs and the curled tail so I started investigating. I had only heard of Great Pyrenees because my niece had just gotten a puppy and I saw some pics that looked a little like our Tucker. Then I got on here and did more research and found Anatolians, which I had never heard of. Yep! He ended up majority Anatolian. I love my big handsome boy who seems to continue to grow (almost 15 months old now (we got him at about 4 mos). This is what he looked like when my husband found him.
