    My Turkish friends also raise TAZI, a small sighthound for hunting. If anyone is interested, I can put you in contact. Brian

    I have a website that has many pictures, and links to thousands more. www.monstermalak.com Also has alot of information on the breed, etc... They really do not eat that much. Less than a gallon a day. They have evolved in a harsh climate, and existed on poor nutrition. Typically fed YAL, which is a barley mash with watered yougurt or tomato paste. Guess they somehow extract more nutrition than most. Take Care, Brian

    Sorry, but I had originally posted this in the general forum. New here,,,haha. Has anyone hunted with the Boz Shepherd Dogs, or Kangals. They are both Turkish Livestock Guardians. I have seen videos with them hunting Boar, and even against a tiger (although I feel the tiger was playing). They are large, strong, fast, and a VERY capable oponnent to anything. My website is www.monstermalak.com if you are unaware of the breed. Anyone sharing experience hunting with them would be appretiated; Brian

    Hello, I would like to introduce myself. Name is Brian, and live inTexas, USA. Like to deer and Hog hunt. My dogs are Kangals and Boz Shepherd Dogs. I am trying to explore their ability to be used to hunt wild Boar. And was looking for anyones experience with hunting with them. They are quite large, and able to down large predators, as they are Livestock Guardians. Some Boz Shepherds would possibly be able to kill a mountain lion. Very awsome dogs with regards to their abilities. Some people in Turkey hunt with them for boar. But information from Turkey is limited.

    Judge 2010, Please do not get me wrong, I am not saying that they are not used for fighting in Turkey. The Boz Shepherds have dominated the fights, and have won most of the National Championships. But with regards to the origin of the breed, it by far pre dates the more modern aspect of fighting. The culture of fighting dogs in Turkey has through history been used as a selection tool. But sadly in the modernization, has basterdized into a sport. The Boz is an ancient dog from the Urfa Mountains. A strongly tribal area that has stayed isolated due to the tribal strife. For many man

    The Boz Shepherd Dog is fought frequently in Turkey, as are all the bigger Turkish Breeds. But to say they were bred just to fight is not quite fair to them. They were originated in the Urfa Mountains, and used to guard sheep and goats. They double as Family guardians. They have been fought throughout their development over many hundreds to thousands of years. Fighting was used as a tool by the shepherds to select the best dogs with the ability to kill the larger mountain wolves. These are one of the most physically capable giant dogs of today. They are quite scary, but perfect ge

    Hello everyone! I live in the USA, and raise both Boz Shepherd and Kangal dogs. My purpose is for Livestock Guardians, but was wanting to inquire to see if anyone has had experience hunting with any of these breeds of dogs. Although not typically used for such, I run across pictures and videos in Turkish with them being used for hunting wild boar and bear. In the USA, Wild Boar are overpopulating. Many people hunt them with dogs, mostly the typical breeds. If possible, I would like to learn the streangths or weaknesses of these breeds, and possibly test them. With a Boz Shepherd d
