I cannot stop watching at this picture, so I thought i share it with the MD community. A true powerhouse and also very athletic. Regards sunnyAK

great bro

This dog looks marvellous in my opinion, I like everything about his body built...and what a powerful muscular shoulder he has! What does it mean "Malak"? Is it a varierty (a type, a sub-type) of Kangal?

A dog like a rock. Full of dry and athletic muscles. @ Simon I guess a Malakli is a Mastiff and Aksaray is the region where it comes from. The fawn colour it has in common with the Kangal, but here in the breed profile you can see some white dogs with patches. But you are right it is more a type or landrace. It would be interesting if it could remain a capable working dog if they started breeding it towards a more homogenous phenotype and have a standard. But the Kangal has a standard too and still is a true working dog.

for sure malaks could be more homogemous without losing their temperament and great qualities as working dogs. greyhounds are the best example that both is possible, also malinois are a very good example. nice to see that you guys like this dog too.
