The decision of the Turkish government in this matter is reflected in three ways: breeding activities, the views of qualified and relevant officials, and official documentation.
Over the years many Turkish government officials have owned Kangal Dogs. Some have even bred Kangal Dogs.
These Turkish officials have included a former President of the Republic, a former Prime Minister of the Republic, the current Governor of Sivas Province where the breed originates, senior military officers, parliamentarians, and a host of others. They all use the name "Kangal" to describe them.
The Kangal Dog is bred by the Turkish government. Yes, that is correct. The Turkish government has built kennels and pays for the breeding of Kangal Dogs. These state operated kennels are located at Ulas (pictured at the right) and Kangal (pictured above) in Sivas Province. The Turkish military propagates Kangal Dogs at Bursa/Gemlik and elsewhere, and these Kangals are used for, among other tasks, guarding the official residence of the President of Turkey in Ankara.
The Turkish government is beginning to issue "pedigrees" for the Kangal Dogs bred at one of these national breeding kennels. The officials of the government charged with operating these breeding stations call the dogs bred there "Kangals." A number of technical papers have been written by Turkish officials and published in government journals. The dogs are described as "Kangals."
