| Dog and Kennel Magazine Anatolian Breed Profile (2000 words) |
 | Anatolians are not pampered, nor can their owners generally afford to give them veterinary care beyond that which is necessary to keep them healthy enough for guard duty. |
| Other Anatolians had come to this country prior to the birth of the Ballard litter, but in most cases they were dogs that had been sent by the Turkish government to the United States Department of Agriculture for experimental work as flock guardians. |
| Whether an Anatolian's "flock" is a herd of sheep or the dog's family and household, the breed is supposed to perform its duties without aggression. |
