    Is the red on their fur from blood or rust from the spiked collar?

      It is crucial to clarify that the dogs featured in this video are entirely unrelated to us. Therefore, we have no knowledge of them and are unable to provide any specific information about them. The Kangal dog media used in this video was sourced from stock media libraries, selected to represent the breed's general traits and appearance, aiming to enhance educational value and provide viewers with a visual reference.
      From a non-expert's perspective, lacking personal experience with dogs or specialized qualifications, our speculation on potential factors contributing to the red hue on dogs’ necks is broad and loosely defined (listed below). While these hypotheses may offer some insights into the red hue in general, they might not universally apply, and importantly, they do not substitute for professional expertise.
      Encounters with Predators: Kangal dogs are renowned for their protective instincts, particularly when safeguarding livestock. The red hue could result from a confrontation with a predator, especially while wearing a protective collar designed to shield their necks during such encounters.
      Body Fluids: Substances like porphyrins found in body fluids could cause staining, but their role in neck redness is less common and not well-established.
      Environmental Factors: Elements like dust or mud could also affect fur color.
      Natural Coat Color: The red hue might result from natural coat color variations, influenced by lighting or camera effects.
      Allergies, parasites, and contact irritation, such as from collars or exposure to certain plants or grooming products, are other common causes of skin redness in dogs.
      Please note that these are speculative explanations, and while they offer possible factors in a general sense, definitive reasons for the coloration cannot be provided.
      Finally, to reiterate, we have no knowledge of the dogs featured in this video since they are entirely unrelated to us.
