The Akbash Dog (from Turkish: Akbaş 'white head' ) is native to western Turkey and it is primarily used as a livestock guardian dog or shepherd dog. It is officially recognized by the KIF, aka the Turkish Kennel Club. This dog is one of the national dog breeds of Turkey.
This breed was introduced to North America in the 1970s by Americans Judith and David Nelson who had been conducting research on white coloured dogs in Turkey.
Archeological evidence suggests that the earliest civilizations arose in this region of the world where plants were first cultivated and the first livestock were domesticated. In short order there would have been a need for livestock protection dogs to care for the livestock.
Other white breeds of livestock protection dogs from around the world include, but may not be limited to:
one rainy afternoon
a yellow bird nests in grandpa's tree
I have stories to tell you tonight
I'm sitting by the window pane
thinking of you in the lazy sky
I have stories to tell you tonight
do you remember the summer day
trees were swaying with new lives
I have stories to tell you tonight
time flies like an arrow
I suddenly feel left alone
I have stories to tell you tonight
wrapped in warm spring sunshine
the yellow bird laid new life
I have stories to tell you tonight
time flies in a maybe sky
exiting chatter of baby birds
