[quote=oktug]Charlotte you are right that for some preserving the breed is the most precious job and for others it simply is not. Sorry to admitt it but its true. I am also curious about the Kangal People that you learned a lot. Are they in Turkey or outside?[/quote] The people I have get my information from are both inside and outside Turkey - though all of them are Turkish. Talking to these people and looking around the internet comparing different breeders with the information I have gives me the impression that some breeders take their breed very serious while others do not seem to care and just breed whatever buyers want to pay money for. [quote=shizen]How does one get a pure bred kangal? This is one of the best looking dogs I have ever seen I would love to get one. I have dealt with rottweilers, German Shepard's in past. I'm sure there must be some breeders not in turkey.[/quote] Personally I am very confused when it comes to purity. Which dogs are pure, which are not and which are just out of standard dogs? I guess it all comes down to finding a breeder that you feel you can have your trust in. There are breeders in Germany and Holland and most certainly in other European countries as well.
