****Important Note****
Some Kurdish people who lives in east of Turkey are trying to claim Turkish Kangal Dog to make a name. By the way, having or "touching" an any kind of dog is against to Kurdish believes and culture. Kurds usually run from dogs or they throw small rocks at dogs or beat them with sticks. Those are all reported by criminal cases in Turkey. But we all know kurdish people don't live in Anatolia never had. Sivas is the homeland of Anatolian Shepherd and Sivas city is in Anatolia. Only Turkish people lives in Sivas. Kurdish people live far east of Turkey where iran and iraq borders are.
