The Turkish Boz Shepherd, also known as Guregh and Yoruk, is one of Turkey’s oldest herd protection and cattle dogs, working as herd guard dogs since the beginning. Needing much protection in Turkey even in the 21st Century, they are still grown in the Taurus Mountains and Southern Anatolia. The main task is to protect small and large cattle both in their shelters and in volleys. As a herding guard dog, it is one of the most successful dogs in the world in heavyweight. They are exceptionally compatible with family and children and highly dependent on farm animals being patient, tolerant, and intelligent.
