Kangal Festival 2009

[KKOB]

The 2009 Kangal Festival will take place over the weekend of 11th and 12th of July at Kangal, near Sivas in North Eastern Turkey.

It's an ideal opportunity to see 100 or so of these magnificent dogs gathered together at one venue.

I'm assuming no Turks will be in the vicinity......

Wrong !

99% of the people who attend this festival are genuine dog lovers.

They'll be about a dozen or so Yabancis and a few hundred Turks. Most them will be either farmers / shepherds / breeders / scientists from Sivas University's Kangal breeding programme.

The festival is very well supported by municipal and local government and the military, so all the politicians and brass will be there "glad handing" and "brown nosing" .

:wink:

Was joking.... LOL

Anyway, it sounds lovely apart from the brown nosing.
