Akbash vs wolf - akbaş köpek vs kurt
Our video today is about an Akbash dog fending off a wolf. The Akbash is a traditional breed of livestock guardian dog, used to protect flocks from predators in the rugged terrain of western Anatolia. It is distributed mainly in the provinces of Afyon, Ankara, Eskişehir and Manisa; some are present in the provinces of Agri, Konya, Sivas and Tunceli.
These amazing pups are very protective of their families and have strong guarding instincts. They're big dogs and better suited for larger homes with yards or near open areas where they can roam around.
As we mentioned in some of our previous videos, that each dog differs from the other even if they are from the same breed. A dog raised on a farm and trained to run around daily for miles and fending off wild animals will be a lot different to the one living in a bed room and sleeping all day.
Farmers have used livestock guarding dogs for centuries to protect their livestock against all kinds of predators. This Akbash was guarding the livestock when it spotted a wolf approaching. when wolves attack livestock, they focus on the animals that are easiest to kill. Usually the wolves will avoid confrontation with dogs, unless they have nothing else to eat or the dog is standing in between them and the prey. Secondly wolves usually hunt at night time, they hardly come out to hunt during the day and will certainly not come close to a farm if humans are around even if it's night time. This wolf must be extremely hungry to walk into an area guarded by livestock guarding dog and its owner. Not only walking into the area but also challenging the dog. Good job that the dog was well trained for such situations and it did what it was supposed to do. The Akbash dog literally destroyed this wolf and showed him who was the boss.
