1. Zootechnical analysis of two Kangal populations with the aim of standardizing the Kangal as a Turkish dog breed.

Project description:

With the aim of definite zootechnic-kennel standardizing of the Kangal as an indigenous Turkish breed, the Turkish Cynology Association KIF has taken some serious steps since 2008. During May that year, the first expedition was organised on terrain around the city of Sivas. In order to discuss the exterior parameters scientifically, the analysis of another Kangal population was done, this time in the surroundings of Ankara during 2010. For the purpose of determining appropriate exterior parameters typical of the breed, all chosen dogs were measured and on that occasion the value of 23 exterior parameters of each dog was determined. Complete study of 350 pages was the basis for developing a standards for this Turkish breed that is recognized by the Turkish Cynology Association in 2011.

The official breed standard of Turkish shepherd dog – Kangal adopted by the Turkish Cynology Association, in 2011. year.

 

Based on the above study, Turkish Shepherd Dog – Kangal was officially recognized by the Federation Cinology International – FCI, in June 2018.

5. Making a detailed zootehnical study of the Yugoslavian Sheepdog – Sarpalninac in the territory of the Republic of Serbia.

Project description:

The aim of the project is to determine the current exterior parameters of the body development of the Yugoslavian Sheepdog – Sarplaninac in the territory of Serbia. This is done by making a detailed zootechnical study containing 30 exterior parameters in order to get the complete picture and become aware of the present state of the population of this breed in Serbia.

As a result, of the measurement it was performed a zootechnical study with the comments of  measured values  for all exterior parameters. From the data obtained by making the study was published several scientific papers.

6. Zootechnical analysis of Akbash with the aim of standardizing  as a Turkish indigenous dog breed.

Project description:

Akbash is a breed of pastoral dog from the territory of Turkey, which has not yet been standardized and cynological recognized. For the purpose of determining appropriate exterior parameters typical of the breed, all chosen dogs were measured and on that occasion the value of 30 exterior parameters of each dog was determined.

Result of the project is zootechnical studies with mathematical and statistical analyzed 3o exterior parameters, as well as proposed of standards for this breed.

The project is being implemented in cooperation with the Cynology Federation of  Turkey based on the signed Memorandum of  cooperation.

Here you can download a part of zootechnical studies and the proposed of standards.
