Are there any dog breeds which originate in Turkey/Asia Minor/Anatolia?

They don't have to be only AKC, any club's authority is fine by me.Thanks!

Anatolian Shepherds originated from Anatolia, Turkey

the Akbash Dog (Akbash is "akbaş" in Turkish and means "white head" ak=white baş=head) :http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Turkish_akbash.jpgthe Shepherd, also known as "Kangal" in Türkiye, storng, but I find them rather ugly :http://tr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dosya:04xy0.jpg

Anatolian Shepherds

There is the Anatolian Shepherd, Kangal, and Akbash. All three are livestock guardians. Here's a link that lists all the breeds from Turkey and there are some links to the individual pages from there.http://www.worldlydogs.com/turkey.php
