Oktug wrote [blockquote]Whether the Malaklı’s are mixed Kangal’s or not that could only be decided after the on going genetic research. The first results of the Kangal genetic research will most probably be ready in the first moths of 2009. After that the research will be performed for the other known Turkish breeds including Malaklı’s. Until that it is not ethical to talk whether they are mixes of any other breed or not. Again for my opinion there are a lot of mixed dogs and that’s true but we have the original Malaklı’s as well. I can not say anything about the situation right now as Kangal is my first priority.
