Anatolian Shepherd Dog
When you look into the eyes of an Anatolian, you're looking into their soul.
Meet Tayyar...My Anatolian Shepherd Dog
My name is Tayyar and I'm an Anatolian Shepherd Dog, an ancient Turkish livestock guardian breed. My name is Turkish meaning "flying". Mommy picked my name because when I was a baby I had a perfect white X on my chest and it reminded her of wings. I was born in Attalla, Alabama on December 14th, 2006 and now live with my Mommy and my 3 older sisters in Pennsylvania. I have the same Dad as my 2 older half sisters, Raven and Kazara. That white X is no longer an X anymore. It's just a white mark on my chest but I still live up to my name by flying around the house and yard as fast as my little legs will take me. I think I'm faster then I really am and Mommy laughs at me because I'm a silly puppy. I am oblivious to anything around me. All that matters to me is having fun and trying to cause trouble because I think it's funny. The thing I really like doing is tugging on Mommy's shirt when she gets home from work and grabbing her butt. I'm a butt boy and I love my Mommy's butt. That's her welcome home from me. I just want to show her that I missed her. I won't do it to anyone else but her because she's special. My other fun thing to do is use the couch as a trampoline. I know I'm not allowed on the couch but it's so much fun. I love burying myself in the pillows trying to hide from Mommy then I push them all down onto the floor for her to pick up. I'm the "King Of The Couch"! I like playing with the pillows as much as I like my doggie toys. I think everything is a toy. It's fun to investigate and try "new toys". I also like to go run in the yard with my sisters. I'm fast but those girls are so much faster. They always beat me to the destination. I like to hop when I run so maybe that's why it takes me a little longer. I still think I'm fast though. I'm always happy doing anything. I have a smile on my face all the time, even if I get in trouble by Mommy. I just look at her with a big smile on my face, then take off running, telling her to come get me. I do have my serious side too. Especially when I'm playing my stalking game with Pasa. We always stalk each other in the yard then charge at each other. It then turns into a game of chase and we weave in and out of the bushes. I know I sound like nothing more then a goofy, little puppy but I really am a sweet boy too. I love being with my sisters when sleeping and always cuddle with one of them but my favorite is when I cuddle with Mommy. When I was still small enough for her to pick me up, she'd pull me up into her lap and hold me in her arms like a baby. I could have slept like that forever. Now that I'm a little bigger I don't fit in her lap anymore but I still try. I am and always will be a "Mama's Boy".
