The Anatolian Shepherd dog is a large, solidly planted, large dog with a powerful constitution. The head is broad and strong. The eyes are rather small compared to the size of the skull, well detached and sunk in the orbits. Their color ranges from golden to brown, depending on the color of the coat. The ears, of medium size, have a triangular shape and are rounded at the ends; they fall back against the cheeks and stand up when the dog is attentive. The tail is long and reaches the hock. Set fairly high, it is worn low at rest and slightly curved; when the dog is attentive, it is carried high, the curved end on the back, especially in males
