... have been talking dogs with a local about a dog breed I am very fond of... the Kuchi/Kangal Livestock Guardian Dog(LGD). The natives that run livestock in the mountains of the region(Pakistan/Afghanistan/Iran) have bred this dog as, basically, a big, bad ass sheep dog... to protect their animals from wolves/protect their homesteads...
There are much, much more interesting history/facts about this animal that I would like to tell you all about, but out of respect for the owner of this site, I will not... For each picture, I have a thorough story told me by the breeder... very interesting stuff
Grand Champion "Palang" of Kabul... This is what a dog looks like that's worth more to a local man than TWO LandCruisers and 10K cash...
This is an old, OLD culture... In my opinion, this area of the world holds some of the oldest, purest genetics of a type of dog we have until this point only read about in history books... it is my great honor to speak with men that still maintain such quality in genetics.
