Keep the Kangal Dog and Anatolian Shepherd Seperate

"I thought the ANKC only recognised pure breeds not mutts. Stay true to the breed"

"Don't create an artificial name.It is KANGAL!"

"Kangal dog is Kangal dog, and we must save it as a real breed."

"Please retain the distinction between Kangals and Anatolians"

"Turkey, country of origin of the Kangal, recognises this as a breed so why do we look to remove it. As a breeder, if I had worked for years to try to establish the breed, it would be crushing to have the ANKC abolish the breed."

"I have owned a kangal for 10 years. I know her as a kangal because that is what she is. It would be a travesty to represent this noble animal in any other name but kangal. NZ and Australia also have a strong bond with Turkey - this is their national dog"

"Don't destroy the Kangal Breed and and the Breeders who have put so much into into breeding such great dogs"

"Kangal is only one of the Turkish breeds and we never accept them to be under the name Anatolian since there is not only one shepherd dog breed Ýn Turkey."

"Please respect this breed apart!!!"

"Genetics are the factors of breeds!!!"

"This is a step backwards and one day you will look back and realize your foolish mistake."

"ANKC- appearance is not genetics , Recognise Kangals."

"We as one of the best Kangal Kennel in Europe fight now 15 years with FCI for registratur of Kangal Dogs! Until now we have in Europa more than 65\% crossbreeds! The pure Sivas Kangal is gone!! Save this breed! NOW!!!"

"As a proud Kangal owner I am outraged that you want to associate Kangal Dogs with a mutt. Check the facts!"

"There are very significant genetic differences between the Kangal Dog & Anatolian Shepherd . Tho the AS folks have introduced a lot of Kangal breeding into ASs to get them to look like Kangals , they represent two very different dogs , one a Landrace "
