Is there a difference between Turkish kangals and Kurdish Kangal dogs?

No, there is no difference between Turkish Kangals and Kurdish Kangal dogs. The Kangal dog breed is a Turkish breed that originated in the Sivas province of Turkey. They were developed by the Kangal people, a Turkic ethnic group that lived in the region. While the breed is commonly referred to as the Turkish Kangal, there is no such thing as a Kurdish Kangal. The Kangal dog breed belongs to Turkey and is a source of national pride for the Turkish people.
