The first Turkish academic institution to establish a Kangal Dog breeding program is the Veterinary Faculty of Selcuk University in Konya. Selcuk University was also the first to host an International Symposium on Turkish Shepherd Dogs.

The physical facilities for the breeding of Kangal Dogs at Selcuk University (see photo) are excellent. An impressive number of high quality Kangal Dogs are established at the breeding facility and they are certain to contribute to an advanced understanding of the Kangal Dog as well as the other native dogs of Turkey. Thus, Selcuk University joins the Turkish Government facilities at Ulas and Kangal for the protection and propagation of purebred Kangal Dogs.
Other researchers at other academic institutions, including Ankara University, are producing research reports on the Kangal Dog as well.
All these facilities and researchers agree that the correct name for this famous Turkish breed is Kangal Dog or Sivas-Kangal Dog.
We welcome Turkish Government and academic research into the purebred Kangal Dog, which include, among other things, quantitative physical measurements and blood studies. The Kangal Dog has been recognized by many prominent Turkish government and academic institutions. Please examine Prof. Dr. O. Cenap Tekinsen's letter of accrediation. We will be happy to cooperate in these studies and to incorporate the results of new Turkish studies into our published descriptions of this famous Turkish breed.
