Comment to 'Importing Kangal (Rules)?'
  • onur.. it was my brother who was in turkey and took the puppy, so there was only one passport. Lets se what the puppy will grow up to become. Yes he have a white markening in the face, wich is not typical, but I have seen so may photos, of grown up kangals that dosent have the typical mastiff like head eighter, but more pointy faces. The puppy was, in a very bad food condition when we got him. Maybe a good diet, will change his apperance after a while. If you look at his front legs, you can se this typical swollowing around his joints, that comes from the lack off A;C;D;E vitamine. He is not from a fancy breeding, but the simple farmers kangal puppy. the father is a rescue from a fight, who was left to die, and the mother was from the local willage. His double fur, moovements and reaction is very typical. maby he is just no beautyqueen and that is allso not important. My interest in this puppy, is the mentality, and how he can work. This dog is not acting like any other breed, I have ever been cloose to. He even mooves different. He makes these funny tacklings with the back part of his body, when he play, and he is more dominant than any puppy, I have ever seen before. And he is amazingly brave allready. Try to enter the house as a stranger, and this little man will stand in the middle off the dor, and try to growl you away. Go towords him, and he will not back off, but continue. When the fox enters our proberty, this little fellow will chace him away imiddialy. the fox is 10 times bigger than him. Not even a corso pup in that age, would do that. and he is soo fast, when he mooves, like a cat In my own breed (cane corso), I have seen so many pedigree dogs in sweden, that didnt look like cane corso at all. wrong body, wrong head and so much white. All things that is not typical for the breed, according to the standart, and things you would never se, outside of skandinavia. But they are pure breed dogs, going to shows. If the kangal cant leave turkey, how can there be kangal breeders, all over the world? anyway.. pure or not pure, this dog is different in all ways, and will be so interesting to study, as he grow up
