Kappadokioi Kyon

(Anatolian Mountain Dogs)

The Anatolian shepherd dog is bred for its large size, speed and powerful jaw. Originally bred to hunt down dangerous predators such as wolves, they can easily kill a man if required.

Dogs have always been useful for guard, patrol and scout work. With skilled handlers they can also be used effectively on the battlefield. Attack dogs were specifically bred and trained to ignore the noise and chaos of combat. Taught to attack on command, they were starved a little to ensure aggression before being unleashed upon enemy formations as a savage wave. Faced with a pack of foaming, hungry dogs many men naturally broke or faltered, opening gaps in a battle line that could then be exploited by melee troops.
