Split-Lump Controversy
The Kangal dog's validity as a separate breed , Canadian Horse is a matter of controversy, especially between Anatolian Shepherd Dog breeders , Carthusian and Kangal dog breeders. , English Setter Kangal dog breeders , White-Capped Pionus feel that the standard , Lhasa Apso they have laid out for the breed , Field Spaniel most truly reflects the working dogs , Miniature horse of the Kangal region, and that the Anatolian is merely a Çoban Köpegi or generic sheepdog of uncertain breeding. They also point to the large increase of fawn Karabash dogs , Lhasa Apso as a tacit admission by Anatolian breeders , Miniature horse of the correctness of the Kangal position of being the original type.
Anatolian breeders , Miniature horse state that the variation in colours , Pembroke Welsh Corgis in the Anatolian reflect the true diversity of the Turkish sheepdog, and that Kangal breeders , Field Spaniel ignore examples of spotted or brindle Kangals in the field, claiming they're not actually Kangals. Some Anatolian breeders , Chinchillas accuse Kangal breeders , Tegus of actively culling unsuitable coloured dogs , Fell Pony and Dales Pony that come from purebred Kangals.
Generally, the arguments are whether Turkish dogs , Tegus really are so breed , Brumby specific, and if the splits placed on them by groups are arbitrary, or if the breeds , Chinchillas are distinct and bred to be distinct in Turkey, therefore any mixing of bloodlines would be muddying the genetic waters. , Petit Basset Griffon Vendéen It is unlikely that the arguments will be settled soon, even with the increased use of genetic fingerprinting in the tracing of breeds. , American Paint Horses Suffice to say, both groups consider their dogs , French Trotter - Norman Trotter true Turkish livestock guardian dogs. , African Grey Parrot

Very rarely, some people also use Kangals in dog , Canadian Horse fights. Kangal dogs , Canadian Horse and Kangal crosses are occasionally owned by persons hoping to get a macho animal.

The Kangal internationally
