Not for the faint of heart!) However, there's a nice photo gallery that gives you a sense of the variety of type among Kangal Dogs, and yet the consistency that makes them identifiable as a landrace Turkish breed.

There is still a split among the Karabash Club membership as to whether to retain the "Karabash" name or accept the official Turkish name for the breed, Kangal Dog. It does get confusing, but here it is, simplified: Karabash is another name for Kangal, but  Anatolian Shepherd is not.
