The rich and complex history of canine migration and breed development within Eurasia is still under investigation. However, after our research, including analyzing past and present images, we have determined that other canines originating within the ancient Anatolia region are different from Kangals and Anatolians. Therefore, we officially recognize the Turkish Shepherds; Akbash, Anatolian, Boz, Kangal, Karadeniz, and Malakli. To aid us, we collaborate with World Anatolian Dogs, a business of experts and judges in Turkey who offer critical services for the Turkish dogs of North America. These experts provide breed standards, register pedigrees, and evaluate dog images and videos to judge phenotype and identify a dog’s breed.
