KARA'S FIRST DAY IN PASTURE

This was mid-January and Kara's first day in Oregon. He was very tentative and took in all the sights, sounds, and smells quite calmly and slowly. He is a very relaxed dog who loves people and seems very attached to the goats now, at 3 weeks later. He is slow-moving among the herd, holds very still around the goats, likes to stand in the midst of them, but will leave them and bark if he feels there is a threat. He makes it a habit to smell their behinds, and enjoys face-to-face also. He has the deepest bark of all our dogs. Just yesterday he began playing chase with another adult Anatolian female. Three weeks ago, when he arrived, he weighed in at 106 lbs, and measured just a hair under 32" at the shoulder.
