Mooi stukje over o.a de 'echte' Kangal

Those who talk about the Anatolian breed of shepherd, also known as the Kangal, refer to the animal that has now become famous in the dog breeding world for its enormous size: it is common to see photos of the beast up on its hind legs next to its owner, to emphasize its gigantic size.

In reality, the real breed of Anatolian shepherd is very different from the dog discussed in pub stories or, more recently, in Internet forums. It's a distinctive animal, no larger than any other sheep dog, but very useful to the Turkish shepherds who graze their sheep on the remote Anatolian uplands for most of the year.


En iedereen maar roepen dat Sjon geen echte is, ik weet wel beter
