We will talk about the origin of kangal. Where did it get the name ? From who and when ? All these
questions will be answered in this video. Turkish kangal is one of the most famous dog breed,
but often surrounded by myths and untrue things .
The kangal name for the dog is a fabrication name . This name does not exist in the past.
This detailed study was done by professor Orhan Ylmas . Who is an animal specialist
a zootechnician , graduated in university of Ankara in department animal of science .
Kangal as the name is a fabrication name , this name has a history about 40 years
Before 1980 at the beginning , no one knows the name kangal dog in turkey.
This name was not used by anyone anywhere . As the result of the debate of naming the dog,
that took place in England science in 1980s .
The names gave to this dog in anatolia were "ÇOBAN Iti , "ÇOBAN köpeği" which means shepherd dog ,
which means sheepdog Davar and Karabaş which mean black mask .
And was the western who give the name kangal . The people who caused this dog to be named kangal
were Dr. Charmian (Biernov) Steele , Meesrs. j Lloyd, D. Lyth
and Dr. Withof-Keus. Dr. Chairman Steele was working with her husband Çattalhoyk archaeologic
site near to the city center of Konya . They were the first archaeology . They took two
puppies and they brought in England , from Bakırtolu and Hyeroglu village was year 1965
and the first exemplars was from Konya not from kangali in Sivas . Dr. Steele applied to English
kennel Club to register his dogs . When they asked what breed the dog were , he said that
in turkey those dogs are called Karabash which were guardian and herding sheepdog.
But the British kennel Club had previously some problems with naming a new breed, that's why the
name karabash did not accepted as a race .They registered first as Karabash anatolian sheedog,
but after Dr. Steele objected to this name, the British kennel club changed the new name to
anatolian karabash dog in 1968. But the westerners come back again and this time the expedition was
select to be Sivas . Meesrs J. Lloyd and D. Lyth
brought the dogs from Kangal district to England and they asked to change the name from Anatolian
karabas dog to 'Kangal dog' . This request was denied. In 1983 Anatolian Karabash dog was changed
in Anatolian shepherd dog, because westerners brought to the England dog without a black mask.
The kangal dog was proposed by Messrs j. Lloyds, D. Lyth and Dr. Withof-Keus .
Were the foreigners who discussed for this dog breed
and this naming was also reflected in turkey .
But was not the name that was proposed by local people . But if we go back in ancient sources. We
don't found Kangal name in the books named “Savaş ve Polis Köpeği” which mean 'War and Police Dog'
which was published by Cafer Fahri Dikmen a turkish veterinarian .
In his book there are few pictures look like kangal karabash, but in none of those pictures
he never mentioned Kangal name. He called this dog ' Our domestic shepherd dog .
This book was published in 1936 , original language was in arabic . In another publish in
1983 published by Orhan Öncül’ün a veterinarian , the book named 'Our Faithful Friend Dog's
Family . We do not see a Kangal to mention in this book too. We find only turkish ÇOBAN köpeği
and Karabash , but the name kangal were never mentioned before , after the westerners came.
Another proof that named Kangal dog was fabrication . Was the
word "Shepherd Dog" = ( ÇOBAN KÖPEĞI ) under the dog picture
on the postage stump that was printed for 25 cent in 1973 .
Only in 1995 kangal dog was wrote on the stump, which was printed with 10000 Lira .
There were archives with picture who date back in 1915 in World War 1 . Those dogs are identical
with original kangal. The origin of kangal are primitive line of mountain dogs . Turkish select
those exemplars without mixing them , just improve their anatomy and select the best exemplars for
breeding . In the DNA test , kangal dog has closed related with central asian shepherd dog . This was
all for today . Thank you for watching my video , don't forget to subscribe , like and share !
