I find the habits of the wild dogs most interesting ~ the way they care for the pack, feed the young and weaker ones, the alpha male and female and how... More

The centre includes an Anatolian Shepherd dog breeding program where dogs are placed on farms to protect livestock from possible cheetah predation. This is saving cheetahs and livestock
