That is interesting. I've never heard of that breed. Are they supposed to be aggressive (for bear hunting) or do you think it was that particular dog?
It was a guy who said they crop ears so bear claw would not catchThe Kangal -Kangal, Sivas in Turkey is where they are bred- is one of the most courageous breeds in the world. It will fight wolves; kill them and die if it has to in order to protect the herd it's guarding. (Hunting bears is not one of its uses as far as I know though)
Their puppies are the cutest thing but they grow up very quickly. They protect their family and are very good with kids and other animals that are part of the pack. Outside the pack, not so much
I am Turkish and we are very proud of this breed as you can tell. I would get one if I get a house with a huge yard.

after reading like you said there's no mention about bears and ears
is there wild bears in Turkey that would kill live stock
also read if domestic breed has ears cropped its disqualified, only ones for livestock can have cropped ears
