The Turkey
Often simply called the Turk, this is an old breed from Turkey which has gone under a few changes in recent years. Although old, its type is still true to a working draft, although its stature has lightened recently. The breed is known for power, endurance, and a feral mysterious disposition. Little studies have been done to find out how it behaves in the wilderness as they are very elusive, much like the Prussia, but with such natural camouflage they are hard to track. The breed came from a mix of feral Petalia native and roaming in the area. Over time, selective breeding and line breeding made it possible to turn the scruffy strays into powerful beasts of burden. Their deep need for privacy and independent nature is one of the most difficult to deal with. Most trainers actually never see their animals "true face" and often the Petalia behaves differently around people. Very energetic and flashy, it loves to show off and do well in a show ring. Competitive and hot blooded show handlers need experience before handling one. It is territorial but does enjoy meeting new Petalia whom are passing by and not planning to stay. They love food and are considered master food thieves, stealing from their master's kitchen and strays being a large problem in open markets.
Because it was made from feral Petalia it is unknown what breeds exactly went into it. With such close breeding there is little genetic variation. The hair is short but is allowed to be curled. It must be brown and the eyes can be green or brown with green being rarer. The flesh must be at least a light tan with darker individuals considered more prized. Some facial fur is accepted on the jaw for males but not for females. The paws are large and the shoulders thick and broad. The bite is very strong and many have found work in the military or local government. Farmers rarely use "True" Turks but rather the original feral strains which are much leaner and smaller, with a less independent strain.
