There are two types of Kangal breeds. Essentially the infamous Kangal that is widely known is Turkish. However there exists a different breed to Turkish Kangals, which look quite similar, but however are different in some ways. This breed of dog can be found at the heart of Kurdistan's mountains. (Experience from visiting both Kurdistan and Turkey many times and seeing different types of these dogs).

there was considered at one time that they were two different dog breeds, but they are not. Turkey has officially declared both to be Anatolian Shepherds. If there is any size difference it is purely genetic make up of the parents or do to food supplies.
