Its natural distrust of strangers and lack of hunting instinct make it the ideal companion and family dog and watch dog for home and farm. It is neither timid nor aggressive. Indifference to weather, robustness and longevity are its most outstanding attributes.

Wary of strangers whilst tolerant and affectionate towards the people and livestock the breed is to protect. When the owners are present or the dog is
out of his territory, the Akbaş Dog is calm. Unprovoked aggression to humans is not accepted. The dog may look aloof as protecting a flock requires independent thinking. The breeding principles must be based not onlyon the physical characteristics, but alsoon the dog’s commitment to the flock and eagerness to protect it.
