Titan is an 8-year-old, 130-pound Anatolian Shepherd mix with a personality that is best described as a grumpy old man in a dog's body. He has strong opinions, a strict daily schedule, and absolutely no tolerance for nonsense. As a Livestock Guardian Dog, Titan is intelligent, independent, observant, and keenly aware of his surroundings. He knows exactly what he wants and expects his humans to understand his needs, from mandatory daily walks to clean drinking water and high-quality treats. Titan is whip-smart and will hold you accountable for maintaining his routines, gently but firmly guiding you back on track if needed. He prefers colder weather and enjoys snow, viewing it as both enrichment and a snack!
Ideal Home
Titan is friendly with respectful children aged 10 and up who understand boundaries and can give him his space. He is not a dog who enjoys being climbed on, crowded, or having his face invaded. He is protective of his food and treats, so mealtimes should be supervised and respected. He may do well with an older, calmer dog who isn't overly energetic or in his face, but introductions should be thoughtful and feeding done separately initially. Dog-savvy cats with safe retreat spaces would be important, as Titan can sometimes forget his size when attempting to play. Titan thrives on structure and predictability, so a home that can maintain his familiar rhythm is ideal. He would do best in a home where someone is present most of the time, such as a retired adopter, a work-from-home household, or individuals with flexible schedules, as he experiences separation anxiety and forms strong bonds. A physically fenced yard is essential for him to patrol his kingdom.
