YOUTUBE VIDEO: "Grass: A Nation's Battle for Life"
(1925) is a silent documentary film which follows a branch of the Bakhtiari
tribe of Persia (today Iran) as they and their herds make their seasonal journey
to better pastures. It is considered one of the earliest ethnographic documentary
films.
Well worth watching.
Thank you for the link, Janice!

EXHUBERANT PLAY OF THE ADOLESCENT and ADULT ANATOLIAN SHEPHERD:
Click here for Red (age 1) and his mother, Josie, age 7
Anatolians of all ages love
to play and rough-house, especially teenagers. Both companion and working
dogs will need a place and the opportunity to release their energy. Really rough
puppy play needs to be curbed in order to prevent injuries to growing
bones and joints .
