Maverick is an experienced livestock guardian dog that is great with sheep and goats. He does well with others. He needs to be neutered before adoption. He is 7 months old, solid muscle and absolutely stunning brindle Anatolian. He weighs about 70lbs now but will probably be over 90lbs once full grown. He is timid around strangers but warms right up within minutes. He gets in and out of the car with some coaxing but I think a short training session he will be fine. He loves treats and will eat them when you throw them on the ground. He respects fencing and has not tried to jump or escape a fenced area with livestock. He lacks human socialization and will need a few minutes to warm up to strangers. Once warmed up, hes just fine. A trainer is coming by this week to work on basic commands and leash walking. UTD on all vaccinations, with proof. Needs to be neutered before adoption. 

Owner surrender reason: He needs a larger property with someone that has more experience with LGDs. He's a great protector. He just wants to be left alone and left with his animals.
