The Akbash (Turkish: Akbaş) is a traditional Turkish breed or type of flock guardian dog from western Anatolia.[3] The word akbaş means ‘white head’, and thus distinguishes this dog from the Karabaş, or ‘black head’.[4]: 33 [5] It was recognised by the Turkish Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs in 2006; it is under the tutelage of the Köpek Irkları ve Kinoloji Federasyonu, the Turkish dog breed society, but is not recognised by the Fédération Cynologique Internationale.[3][6] Main origin and Real hometown of Akbash is Sivrihisar town near Eskişehir province of Turkiye.
I’ve never understood why these things aren’t the solution to the pseudo-problem of wolves in places like the US West and Sweden. Breed an even bigger Akbash and boom! wolves be gone, problem solved. It should only take a few generations to make such a mega-doggie, we turned a wolf into a chihuahua after all.
I think both Great Pyrenees and Kangal Shepherds are used already to defend livestock against wolves (and other predators).
