I let close friends pet him, but that's about it.

My Akbash is friendly but cautious. I usually ask visitors to let him sniff first before petting. I've noticed that once he feels safe, he warms up quickly.

I mostly keep visitors from petting my Akbash until he gets used to them. It takes time for him to trust new people.

I generally don't let visitors pet my Akbash. They can be standoffish with strangers, and I want to make sure they feel comfortable. It's best to let them approach on their own terms.

It really depends on the visitor. My Akbash has a protective nature and can become uneasy with strangers. I encourage guests to ignore him at first, allowing him to come to them when he feels ready. This gradual introduction helps him feel more at ease. Once he trusts someone, he’s incredibly loyal and affectionate.
