Wow I have never heard of this breed before. They look like a cross between a Sheperd and a Lab. Are they a good family dog? What about kids do they like kids ? lol I love dogs so if and when you have some time I would love to learn about them. Sakin has that very intelligent look in the eyes. Thankyou for posting these pictures. Ronda

Kudos Akbash for your comments on the memorial day pic! We wouldn't need memorials for soldiers lost if the government took their heads out of their asses for a minute!

Your album was quite educational for me! I wasn't familiar with the Akbash dog. I understand they originated in Turkey? They're very beautiful animals. I was surprised to read that your Kiymet was age 11 in 2003. That's a long life span for such a large dog! I loved the profile shot of Sakin. The Akbash also seems to have a very gentle disposition. I enjoyed the tour! Charlotte
