Finally… somebody talking about the different breeds, Kangal & Anatolian!! Anatolian Shepherd, Turkish dog with history & as good as a Kangal in it’s own right!! Thanks for the video 👍🏼
Great informative video. Thanks for the lesson. I live on 20 acres in America and our Anatolian Shepherd is a great dog. Protective, loving and loyal. He is an all around good boy.
Please try to make video of explain the differences and characteristics showing purebred kangal and anatolian shepherd together in one video and also provide the information of purebred original kangal dog kennel.
Man, my ASD isn't food motivated at all. She would rather scavenge her own food and only eagerly accepts raw meat. If she eats dog food it's only a little at a time, I resorted to meat finally in hopes of keeping her weight on as she grows.
Recently brought an Anatolian puppy to my sheep pasture. Got to see his sire and dam out with sheep as well as a 1 year old sibling. They all knew their jobs well, weren't happy to see a stranger but as I was with the owner they soon settled back into working mode. Very happy to have him around. With tight fences we haven't had any trouble, thinking now it's even less of a worry! Great dogs.
My pup's parents work a 200 acre ranch in the Smokies with 300 sheep and 200 cattle...her mother is the top guardian on the farm. But when my husband and our 5 little children got out, even though I'm certain mama knew we were there to take 1 of her babies, she even surprised her owner by how wonderful she was to us and the children. He tried to put her in a fence while we chose (and had to chase) a puppy but she effortlessly escaped the fence twice and came lovingly and politely back to see our children. She clearly was introducing herself. There was something exceptionally wise and kind about that dog, I will never forget her. I would have taken her if I could have but I got her daughter, the next best thing.
@@angelmartin7310 I had a very similar experience with the dam of our two Akbash pups. It was very beautiful and memorable. Her girls are as wonderful as she was.
@michellesmithunroe2463 That means a lot to me! I knew I wasn't imagining it. Never had a dog look into my soul like that, she was the first ASD I ever met. Now that I have gotten to know my Daisy I see the same uncanny wisdom in her, deep like a person more than a dog. She just understands things. I'm not even a dog nut, I'm picky about what dogs I like, but there is something very special about this breed. It sneaks up on you.
@@angelmartin7310 unlike most "normal" dogs who have been manipulated to forget their instincts, LGDs seem to be born "wise old souls" already knowing how to do the things it takes months to teach others. I am inclined to say they understand English but that's not as logical since it's not their native language and they aren't very far removed from their home lands in terms of time. It's just more evidence of their deep connection with their shepherds. I'm grateful to the many before us for facilitating the creation of such magnificent partners and companions. 💗 Interestingly, our pups dam's name is Daisy. We continued the botanical theme, naming our girls Aster and Crista, short for the plant genus Asteraceae and Chamaecrista respectively. I am reasonably certain that they are fairly closely related to our first LGD which made the connection with their mom even more intriguing.
We adopted our boy Odin from a shelter about 4 years ago. We were told he was an Anatolian Shepard, to which we said sarcastically, "surrrrrreeeee, pure blood, 11 month old Anatolian Shepard, surrendered to a shelter." Welp we ate our sarcastic words as he is absolutely 💯 Anatolian Shepard. After extensive research we decided to have his DNA tested to be sure. He is a big teddy bear and the absolute best dog we have ever had. Until we found him we knew nothing of the breed. Absolutely beautiful animals.
Best explanation I have heard so far. We got what we were told was a kangal from a rescue 5 years ago to go with our then 5yo shep/pit mix. When sharing pictures had half of the people saying yes, he's kangal, including some kangal breeders. Took awhile to get an explanation as to why he was an anatolian, but that didn't go beyond head and eye shape. Thanks again. Would love to send you a pic to get your opinion.
We have a 2 year old Anatolian sherpard she is a sweety .her name is Annie She loves my golden retriever n is great playmate with my sons 6 month old German Shepard dog .She lets him play extremely rough then just shuts him down with a. Little growl and body check . She is very friendly to all strangers in our home even very small children .She will lay down n crawl to little kids n babies being so gentle.She is also a very good n driven hunter n protector she keeps the coyotes away .
Very enlightening your video I had never seen someone explain so clearly !! thank you so much for keeping this going because definitely I am an Anatolian shepherd dog lover and not a Kangal ! Nothing against Kangal! but my taste predominates for this phenotype! God bless you and thank you
Also, I love what you’re saying about the breeding and keeping the liens documented and pure - I breed cannabis plants as a profession, so I totally understand what you are saying. This video is SO helpful showing the non Kangal expression that exists in Anatolian shepherds
I really enjoyed your video and an fussy about all the misrepresentation of dogs on RU-vid I subscribed to the channel I also like HB kennels … Keep making videos 👍🏼
Very nice explanation brother. Put into simple form so people can understand. Based on this information is it safe to say that any mixed dog from Turkey is Anatolian Shepherd?
@@titansaint4324 there is absolutely nothing Pure about Anatolian. You should watch many more Turkish videos. Americans think they know the genetic makeup of the dogs better than the Turkish people where they come from. There is lots of scientific evidence to back this. Anatomy, Genetics, Phenotypes. Do your Dogs have paper's are they part of a registry? Are you in with the TBBA or WAD?
@@tuguybear930 the thing is, if they are calling the dogs Anatolian then they have already been dubbed as a mixed breed. People always think they have something special when they say " this is a Pyrenees/Anatolian." I'm like great so you just have a mutt!
@@BozColorado After British and American breeders imported their dogs thinking they were a breed of dog they refused to admit the mistake and argued that all the flock guarding dogs in Turkey are one breed with different coat colours and patterns, In fact there are 3 main breeds of flock guards. Kars Dog in eastern Turkey, Kangal in central Turkey and Akbash dogs in western Turkey. And to add to the confusion there are enormous mastiff type dogs called Aksaray and Malakli. I've been to Turkey twice and seen them. They are a minimum of 50 lb heavier than a Kangal and have a straight tail not curled over it's back.
Thank you brother for explaining this, from what i understand Turkey has no export laws on the Kangal. This is causing problem. Maybe this should be looked at. There could be laws reform for only male Kangal export. People will pay for it if given the option.
Really great explanation of the breed! Super impressive breed of dog, look forward to seeing more content on the breed and what they're capable of and actually like!
Akın abi harika bir adamsın seninle gurur duyuyorum ve ülkemin güzel canlarını dünyaya tanıttığın için teşekkür ediyorum . İnşallah müstakil hayatıma geçip yaşadığım apartman dairesinden kurtulup büyük metrekareli arazime geçtiğimde eğer vakit ayırabilirsen seninle tanışıp , canlar ile ilgili senden icazet almak isterim . Sevgi ve saygılarımla ..
I think title would be better if changed to “Kangal vs Anatolian Shepherd” . Great video for novice Anatolian Breeds Lovers. 👍👏👏👏. Very little people know that Kangal is a pure breed dog. However Anatolian Shepherd’s lineage are mixt. You make us thursty for more videos😊. Keep up excellent work👋
SIR, YOU ARE AWESOME.!! I JUST LOVE YOUR VIDEOS, IN ENGLISH. I WATCH YOU AS OFTEN AS I CAN. PLEASE MAKE MORE DOG VIDEOS. LOVE YOU SIR, IM JOHN FROM BURNSVILLE MINNESOTA U.S.A❤❤❤
I have a kangal, and it's exactly right. Darker eyes, the mask ends at the snout, longer n thinner face, n they won't hit 185lbs. Mine is about 130lbs, n that is considered a good sized kangal. Now I've had an anatolian, which was a kars dog n kangal mixed- mean as hell, larger head, larger dog, and would guard anything. My kangal, nicest dog, and a big baby and wants attention all the damn time. Decent guardian, but not like my anatolian (basically just means its mixed w a kangal, or really any of the 4 turkish dogs mixed, malaklisi, kars, akbash and kangal).
I have a Kangal also they are incredible animals he is only 5 months goofy I love him so much. I live in southern Colorado he will be guardian to Grandaughters.
This was a great video. Sir,you done a very nice job explaining the breed. My wife and i are thinking of getting A Caucasian shepherd. Love them.!!!! John, Burnsville mn, U.S.A
I appreciate this excellent video a lot, as it explains how real working dogs are meant to be what is best for the situation, even if there is mixing. I rescued an abused Anatolian, but got confused if she was Kangal instead because she is golden in color with black mask and finer boned frame. Now I know her golden eyes, head stop, and longer limbs make her Anatolian. An amazing dog whose ancient Turkish history tells the history of the people too :) I love that fate brought us together. She is amazing!
Hi MY OLE FRIEND, I LIVE IN CENTRAL U.S.A, I JUST LOVE YOUR VIDEOS.!!! YOU ARE REALLY GOOD AT EXPLAINING DOGS, SIR, PLEASE MAKE PURE. KANGLE PUPS.. MY WIFE AND I ARE BUYING A REAL. KANGLE.

JOHN LUTZ, U.S.A❤❤❤❤😂🎉
This is like comparing an American Staffordshire Bull Terrier to an American Pitbull Terrier. Genetically they're near identical, with slightly different physiques (Am Staffs are, bulkier/less agile with bigger heads). The Akbash, Kangal, & Anatolian Shepherd descend from a common ancestor. If you bred all 3, that would be the most elite working dog/guard dog.
First of if you it helps, if you want to be taken seriousely and if you dont want to talk serious about stuff you clearly dont av a clue, if you would know the name of the breeds you use give an example with, just a small sugestion. Second, the american staffordshire TERRIER and American pitbulll terrier are not genetically near identical , they are genetically 100% identical, sp it is actually one and the same breed and a perfect example of what happens if you breed in different directions, ONE breed. One direction stayed on course which they were bred for and kept the name untouched after that split aka the pitbull terrier, while the other direction was was focused on the look of the breed and keeping them more unified fiscally which was totaly unimpotant to dogmen only gameness is important so we today have the amstaff which got mainly totaly ruined as a breed and the pit still the same as he was, the best at hes job. So one breed and such big difference and you so blatantly, if this and that thet you have blsh blah. You dont haved a clue about breeding but that doesnt stop you from wanting to make gtotaly wrong scomparisements about a breed you dont even know th right name and end that with a nice threesome top
A number of years ago I lived on a horse farm with my horse and whippets. The owner adopted an Anatolian shepherd- she had the most beautiful movement I've ever seen in a dog. I'm used to assessing movement in animals and people so the AS was such a delight to watch. I understand that they also have a 15° angle to the lower hind leg that helps in navigating the challenging terrain of Turkey. I share your concern for non- Turkish breeders who will not breed the AS as they were meant to be.
Brother I want one. I have a Great Pyrenees. Great Pyrenees is a very good dog. I need one more giant dog to go w my Pyr. I want them for pet and protection
Thank you for helping me understand the difference’s. We are looking to either get a Kangal ( hard to come by in US) or an Anatolian Shepherd to help on the Homestead once we acquire our livestock. I wasn’t sure of the difference understanding much better now.
I very much appreciate the English! I've seen so many videos about the Turkish breeds and wish I could understand the audio. It's so important for us to know the breed standards and history to make sure we do our best to maintain them.
very well said... i've seen videos from Turkey about kangal and one thing i notice, though they all are of the same color but the dogs have varrying face structure especially the muzzle, no one describe it well like you did...
Irkların melezlenip bir ırkın cinsin kaybolup gitmemesi için gerekli bir şey yapılmış, aynı kana cinse dönmesi çok zor olur seneler verilmesi gerekir, ırkların elde güzel örnekleri varken melezleme yapmadan aynı ırkları çoğaltmak için uğraşmalı sizin gibi herkes 👍👏👏👏
Cheers to awareness of Turkish dog breeds!! tezahürat! I got an Anatolian Shepard, or at least that was what she was sold as, in the US state Oklahoma. The dog has been one of the nicer parts of the state...but the circumstances she was bred under were awful. These dogs are not dumb, and they are not insensitive to human contact. Because the breeder kept the isolated till she was three months old, she was severely emotionally and socially damaged. She's okay now, she is a great dog, but these working dogs are very misunderstood. They are smarter than most humans in the USA....
Nice explanation you got there my friend my question is what's the difference between a malakli and a boz shepherd in terms of height and weight are they even the same dog or not?
@@BOZKENNELS Great video, thanks! So, any mixed Turkish Shepherd dog breed = Anatolian Shepherd. But only pure breed (e.g., Kangal + Kangal) = Kangal dog. Is this correct?
I adopted a anatolian shepard / great dane mix. Love my guy, and he keeps us safe. 🥰🐶 Over 6 months old, and almost as big as the full grown huskies next door.
Gorgeous dogs! I think Americans (and certainly others) look to a dog's phenotype and think they own a perfect breed specimen. Whereas those who understand the science of breeding know it takes generations to build a stable genotype. So many people get angry that DNA testing does not give them the breed match they are expecting from their dog's size, color, behavior, etc. Thank you for showing the difference between these amazing dogs.
