The history of this large-bred dog goes back centuries. Turkey is rightfully considered the homeland. The antiquity of these dogs is evidenced by the images on the Assyrian bas-reliefs. The depicted pictures of hunting with these strongmen once again confirm how important this type of animal is for local residents. Some sources indicate that even more, ancient Romans used these animals to hunt big game. Also, the story says that the powerful and strong ancestors of the Karabash could fearlessly fight with lions. You cannot argue with this fact, since today’s dogs have no less powerful appearance.
