Color: Mahogany Fawn Black Head (Rough Coat)

Importer/Owner: Natalka Czartoryska
Tarkan was purchased in Turkey at nine (9) months of age by Natalka
Czartoryska and taken to England.
Caroline Southern remembers that "Tarkan was a lovely dog, very very sweet
natured. He was a very contraversial dog here in the UK, not only because
of his colour, but also his coat. Not many people liked his 'type' -
possible CAO influence maybe according to some people, most of which never
knew him, and never saw him! Anyhow, he was a working dog, who
produced stunning, typey, healthy pups of all colours and coat textures.
I liked him, he was a nice dog, and it broke Natalka's heart when he died
of suspected poisoning. His lines have gone on to produce some of the
best Hisar dogs, working, pet and show."
Personally, I find his type to be FANTASTIC! His body is proportioned and
balanced with an excellent top line and wonderful angulation. This dog is
beautifully built to function as a superior working flock guardian! While
not small, he is also not so large that excess size has begun to interfere
with superior agility, a trend I've seen in many of today's show dogs. Also,
while he has good depth of chest and a wonderful tuck up, he has not
devolved into the "sight hound physique" some breeders have leaned toward
in order to achieve a smoother gait.
Like all superior working Anatolians, he is somewhere in the middle
of all the extremes!
