Let me amend my last, I think Goose does have it.
Read it again, Loth. It says that Anatolian is the Western name but it goes by Anadolu Çoban Köpegi, according to the site Goose referenced. The same picture is right there.
It is important to note, that in Turkey the Çoban Köpegi (shepherd dogs) are not known as 'Anatolian', but rather as Kangal, Yoruk, Haymana, Aksaray, Tuzkoy, Akbas -
depending on the dog's function, physical form and the region from which they originate.
The term 'Anatolian' is a geographical reference, used by Western Kennel Clubs (ANKC, AKC, FCI, KC) to describe the collective Çoban Köpegi of Turkey, and to reflect their development as a LANDRACE.
