Meet Kaptan, a pinto Anatolian Shepherd.

Kaptan is almost 5 months old and is in training as a livestock guard dog with goats. He is eager to show off what he's learned in obedience training, wanting everyone to know how smart he is! A lover of hugs, he always whines when people walk away from him. His bark is starting to sound like that of a large dog when something seems out of the ordinary. He likes fuzzy boots (not attached to humans), but is quick to walk away and apologize with his eyes when gently scolded. His socialization to people and dogs is excellent. His demeanor with the goats is submissive, but he still needs constant supervision when in the same pen as the goats. He's a puppy, and is learning he cannot play with even the small goats. He lives on the other side of the fence from his goats until he matures enough to be trusted alone with them. For the moment, he is happy to lick his charges through the fence and watch over them from his side of the fence. He loves the daily romping time with his sister, Tess, who lives separate from him, also in training with the goats.
