I thought they’d be more aggressive, but mine is really sweet-natured. He loves to cuddle and knows when I’m feeling down.

I never expected my Akbash to be so gentle either. He has this knack for being calm around nervous pets. Once, I brought home a kitten, and he just lay there while she crawled all over him. It’s amazing how affectionate they can be despite their size. I realize that temperament varies, but it’s a lovely quality.

Absolutely, my Akbash has shown so much gentleness. I was surprised the first time I saw him carefully interacting with a small child. He’s a big dog but has a soft spot for little ones.

Yes! Mine is a gentle giant.

Definitely! My Akbash surprises me with her gentleness too. When she meets new dogs, it's like she knows to take it slow.
