'''Aksaray Malaklisi''' is a [[Molosser]]-type [[livestock guardian dog]]. The breed originated from the middle Anatolian city of [[Aksaray]], [[Turkey]]. Aksaray Malaklisi is the largest of the [[Anatolian Shepherd]] dog breeds, superior to the [[Kangal dog]] in size. Their name originates from a Turkish word used in Aksaray, "malak" meaning lip, and "malakli" meaning "with lips" due to the breed's black, dropped, notable lips.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.aksaraymalaklisi.com/ |title=anasayfa |publisher=Aksaraymalaklisi.com |date= |accessdate=2013-05-30}}</ref> |

Aksaray Malaklisi looks similar to the [[English mastiff]] and [[Kangal dog]], despite some major appearance differences. The Kangal has thinner legs and body and the Aksaray has dropped lips. It has longer legs than an English mastiff and an athletic body shape.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.ensonhaber.com/galeri/anadolunun-en-iri-kopegi-aksaray-malaklisi/1 |title=Anadolu'nun en iri köpeği: Aksaray Malaklısı | Galeri |publisher=En son haber |date= |accessdate=2013-05-30}}</ref> |

==Origins== |

There is no evidence about the origin of Malakli dogs. It was once thought to be a mix of English mastiff mixed and Kangal or Anatolian shepherd, but the [[American mastiff]] is that mix and presents a different appearance. Another possibility is that most shepherd dogs in the Caucasian-Anatolian area evolved from the same mastiff-like dog that is the ancestor of [[Caucasian Shepherd Dog]], [[Alabai]], Kangal, [[Akbash Dog|Akbash]], Anatolian shepherd and English mastiff. |
