| description | <b>Aim:</b> The objective of this study was to compare some morphological
characteristics of the native Turkish dog breeds.<p>
<b>Materials and Methods:</b> A total of 130 dogs, comprised
of 30 Kangal Shepherd Dogs, 33 Akbaş Shepherd Dogs, 14
white Kars Shepherd Dogs, 23 black Kars Shepherd Dogs,
and 30 Turkish Tazı, were used in the study. Body measurements
such as shoulder height (SH), rump height (RH),
body length (BL), front chest width (FCW), chest depth
(CD), chest girth (CG), head girth (HG), head length (HL),
and muzzle length (ML) were taken in different aged dogs.<p>
<b>Results:</b> Morphological characteristics, specifically shoulder
height (SH), rump height (RH), body length (BL), front
chest width (FCW), chest depth (CD), chest girth (CG), head
girth (HG), head length (HL), and muzzle length (ML), were
76.20, 76.26, 69.19, 26.32, 33.46, 94.01, 58.43, 35.50 and
14.76 cm in Kangal Shepherd Dogs; 68.11, 68.77, 61.97,
22.32, 28.66, 80.96, 51.88, 31.56 and 13.72 cm in Akbaş
Shepherd Dogs; 66.63, 67.91, 64.55, 22.09, 27.44, 80.11,
55.36, 31.94 and 13.14 cm in white Kars Shepherd Dogs;
66.99, 68.05, 63.28, 21.06, 27.90, 78.52, 54.93, 30.39 and
13.16 cm in black Kars Shepherd Dogs; 62.45, 62.59, 51.44,
16.76, 25.30, 65.27, 35.87, 27.19 and 11.72 cm in Turkish
Tazı, respectively. In conclusion, the study showed that the
measurements of these traits in the Kangal Shepherd Dog
were significantly greater than those in the other Turkish
dog breeds (p<0.05).<p>
<b>Conclusion:</b> Detail studies are needed to determine breed
characteristics and genetic characteristics of Turkish Tazı. |
