Hello there. I'm a Turk. I would like to ask those who want to have Kangal. Please do not confine them to a small garden or a house. They need to be in large gardens, open spaces. Instinctively, they want to go up high places where they can observe the environment well. This has been observed by the owners of this dog. Small hills and high places are needed for these dogs. I tried to feed it in the garden of our house. I could tell that the animal wasn't happy. So I sent it to a gas station with a huge garden. He became the happiest dog in the world. I would go and play with him from time to time. You don't have to be near an animal to love it. You need to find a place where your dog will be happy. It is also a joy to know that your dog is happy.
I knew a stray that lived în a neighbourhood. Every day would sniff every inch on that area...maybe 7 buildings. No other stray New dog was there, no dogs acting stupid and if you would give him food would guard you. He was a Guardian for 10 children almost. No one ever taught or asked that dog to do something like that and every day he would do his job.
I had a kangal dog. He is normally very calm and playful. But things change if he perceives a threat to the area, the house we live in. For example, a construction worker working in the side garden almost lost his arm just because he put his hand on the wall of our house! Also, when my father goes on duty at night, he comes out of his hut, does not sleep until morning and wanders around the house. When my father returns home in the morning, he too enters his cabin.
I have a 28 month old Kangal, I raised and bred Rotweiliers for about ten years, I quit because 2 many trash dogs and other consideration. My Kangal is a sweetheart to those he knows.. These dogs are very powerful and extremely fast, he escaped his enclosure one time and I was driving around looking for him. My daughter was in the truck and said, Dad, Rocky is running beside the car. I looked down and saw I was doing 30mph. I stopped and he jumped in the truck. These dogs are the most intelligent of the breeds I have experienced. They are very independent and require a very strong Alpha male to be respected. Rocky watches every move I make, and follows me everywhere I go You can see in their eyes the intelligence. when weather permits. I take him for long walks and he loves it. People always want to pet him and know all about him and he loves the attention. He is very adept at reading me and knows if people are evil.. A crackhead approached me one day and when he was about 20 feet away, Rocky got between us showed a toothy smile, growled lowly, barked once and stood at attention. the guy froze. I told him to walk away slowly and he did. Formidable animals who fear nothing. My Children say he cries when I leave and lies in front of the door till he hears my truck pull up or I walk in, when he hops up and down on his back legs and hugs my neck with his front paws and face when I walk in, wagging his tail so hard it looks like his hips are going to dislocate. Love this dog'
Its exactly what a mix kangal did! What you describe îs very similar to what I saw about this dog. But also, I can argue that he doesnt need a man always. I, for exemple, am a female and when I met that dog I was feeling weak and I was depressed or something. I just got a puppy husky and this kangal mix almost adopted my puppy acting like a mentor, but was very loving towards me listening to my comands even about barking at some people( who were for sure not good people ) or he would position himself with his back at me growling at what he perceived a threat and pushing me back with his back în the same time. He would bark loud and powerful ( the grund would shake even) at people even tall well built men, but would listen to me. I didnt raised him and we got really close like I was his owner în two months. He knew people and situations better than I did a lot of Times, it would Take me months to realize some things he knew în an instant. For exemple would boss around a terra nove 2 Times his size, would love children protect them let them ride his back but wouldnt even look at one kid who eventualy turned out to be really shady like juvenile problems related, once i lost my dog and i looked for it all night, while the kangal went with me half the town to help me look, while he was being caaalm and relaxed - turned out my dog came back next morning safe and sound. Very good guard dog, loyal and sweet and social inteligence 11/10.
He sounds great!! Glad you appreciate him so much!! My Yorkie Fox Terrier surprised me. I had someone over and my 14 lb dog put himself in between me and him and he jumped up and snapped. He wouldn't let that person near me. I never saw him do that except in the car. He doesn't let everyone approach!!
I rescued a 1 year old from the animal shelter here in the U.S. They thought he was a mix between a German Shepherd and a Golden Retriever, and so did I, until his genetics test came back. He is the long coat variety, golden in color. The previous owner was not an alpha owner and the dog was challenging him to the point he was about to shoot it, so he turned him over to the shelter. Well, I adopted him, thinking Cooper would be as easy to train as my previous Goldens. Ha! We went round and round for about 5 months before he finally realized I was the boss. For much of that time of struggle, I wasn't sure if I would be successful in getting him under control, but one day there was a total acceptance of me as alpha. I'm not sure what caused the change, but he quit challenging my leadership. He is an amazingly sweet dog and so loyal to me. He's my best friend, for sure, and we would both put our lives on the line for the other. One day, about three months after I got him, we were in town and a junkyard dog - a German Shepherd - saw Cooper and escaped the junkyard to come attack us. Cooper instinctively knew what to do.... and it was brilliant! The German launched at Cooper and Cooper instantly positioned himself to grab the German by the back of the neck, pinning him to the ground, biting so hard he drew blood. Then he released the yelping German, and the German ran away in defeat and fear. The whole fight was over in ten seconds! The neck bite is instinctive to a Kangal and their signature move. I have zero fear of anyone or any animal in this region when my constant companion is with me. That was the only aggression I've ever seen from him. Purely a defensive dog. He is super gentle with other dogs, cats, kids, old people, etc. Just don't act like a threat. Lol. He'll raise heck if a stranger comes around, but once I introduce them, he is fine. An exceptional dog, but don't expect them to learn commands like most dogs. They have little interest in entertaining humans. That is not their natural drive. They dig a lot, will run off, given the chance (though they come back, eventually) and get bored super easily, which can lead to mischief. They are not for the inexperienced or impatient owner and know they can manipulate the weak owner... and they will. I do not really recommend them for most people, honestly. But we have become quite the team, he and I. You have to exercise them and they need constant mental stimulation to be an even-keeled and steady companion. Socialize them at every opportunity - it won't diminish their protective instincts in the least, but it ensures they develop a healthy understanding of what/who is a threat and what/who is not. Best dog I ever had, but also the most time-consuming dog I've ever had.
@E Addison - thank you, and yeah, I believe so, as well. Much of my life revolves around him. For instance, I just traded in my car for a bigger vehicle with fold-down rear seats - a small SUV - because he outgrew my little Nissan. I'd never have done anything like that in the past, but I take him with me everywhere I can.. We just got back from the store, where two people in the parking lot saw him before I rolled the windows up to go inside and both commented on what a handsome dog he is. He wins fans everywhere and loves meeting new people. Very unique dogs.
@@sorusty5764 he's super friendly to other dogs, cats, chickens, or anything else he sees has been accepted by me or people he knows. It's the strangers he is cautious of, including people. As a livestock guardian, it's in their nature to protect "their flock" and be suspicious of anything not in that flock. So, any of my friends or their animals are considered "his flock." He's a big dog, but very gentle with small animals.
@@sorusty5764 they'll be the guardian of every pet you own if they realize those pets are part of the family. If attacked by another dog, they will never back down. At least I don't see Cooper ever backing down. They're fearless in the face of an attacker. Having said that, when we visit friends who own dogs, he is very submissive on their property. He knows it is not his territory and is extremely respectful, going out of his way not to offend the good senses of other dogs. But in public, he knows to be on guard. That's why you have to ensure they understand YOU are the pack leader and they have to understand that very early on. They'll feed off of your behavior. So, they aren't for the timid or afraid, because if they see the alpha as being in a fearful state, or agitated, they might be on the edge, ready to protect, whether it is warranted or not. The Kangal has a VERY keen sense of detecting threat from non-threat on their own, but if they sense an owner is on edge, well... I'm not so sure that chaos wouldn't ensue. They need a calm guide in new territory and with other new dog friends. If you get one, get a puppy, socialize it, spend tons of time with it in new places, so it trusts your leadership. There is one friend whose dog simply hates any other dog. In order to avoid a potential fight, I do not take him there. My friends dog loves me, but not Cooper. So he stays home when I go there. I say it alot though: socialize, socialize, socialize. You'll end up with an incredibly stable companion.
@@abishek.c1395 she was a rescue so she was free it was only food and vet Bill's, about $50 per month on average. She's not pure bred so she's about the size of a husky, not as large as a pure bred
We have a lot of wildlife where I live, when I go for hikes or camping my dogs go with. If she didn't know whatever was approaching it didn't get within 20 meters of me unless I told her it was ok.
My family breeds Kangals and the Kangals really good at being independent and making their own decisions. They’re loyal, smart and love babies. A great pet but you have to be firm, strong and loving. I wouldn’t recommend as a first timer dog but once you get one you’ll have a great protector and companion who’ll fight tooth and nail to protect their family and charges.
they describe him as a sheepdog, but this description is wrong. There are two reasons for this. shepherds use different breeds of dogs and not all of them can be included in the definition of sheepdog. The second reason is that Kangal is not a shepherd dog, he is a guard dog. Protects the things that are important to the owner. It could be a herd of animals, it could be a house, it could be a chicken farm. so as you can see the definitions are completely wrong. I don't know if they have ready puppies, but I know good and honest Kangal breeders. If anyone needs or wants to buy, I can guide you.
They're boo boos! Very playful, overly so. And very sensitive, like big babies. they'll be on high alert sometimes, but typically won't bite anyone unless attacked or fear for their safety, which isn't often at all for MOST kangals.
@@VijaySingh-xc2fg Kangal is fighting against iranian and anatolian wolves which are relatively small sized wolves. A Kangal cant beat an Alpha wolf alone. Also Kangal’s have spiked collara when they fight against wolves. When a Kangal get hurt in a fight owner cures. So wolves are no joke against any dog breed.
Strong, Independent, Gentle, Loyal, 1,000 years of natural selection and protecting nomadic flocks. One of very few dogs that will confront a wolf in a dark winter night........
And in terms of "large" dogs one of if not THE healthiest to own, very very few health problems. Not only physically strong and mentally strong but genetically strong, a perfect dog with the right working environment for many people and they don't realise it :(
im in america and would love to have the opportunity for caring for a kangal. do you know if there are any laws in america against them? i know i could look it up but one would think a turk would know more about the breed even in my own country.
@@cheeseburgero1 search fisrt what a pure kangal looks like from turkish videos then own one cuz there are many dog those selling people like they are kangal but they are not..actually in this video also those are anatolian shephereds not real kangals .
@@mertkaracan8215 good looks, been seeing the scams, people suck. not many people really care about clean and pure bloodlines anymore, politically incorrect i guess, now breeds are going extinct threw bad breeding
I have a Kangal and two kangal/alabai mixes. And yeah some of the things you say fit. But to speak on only the pure-bred Kangal. Sure I don’t know how he would have been with a novice dog owner. But with me, he is seriously the smartest, sweetest and easiest dog I’ve ever had. Even though his size it’s never ever a problem bringing him with me wherever I go. I used to train and own German shepherds before. And yea of course they are easy to train. But Lucifer (my Kangal) picks it up ten times faster. Without overstating. And also he is NEVER aggressive UNLESS there is a serious threat. And even then he never ever uses more force than necessary to resolve the problem. He got attacked by a pit bull. He kept it away just by using his size, didn’t even take it to a level where he even tried to bite the pit bull. Also he loves EVERYONE and EVERY animal (except spiders. Because of my phobia he treats them like well a real threat) but besides spiders he is never ever aggressive unless it’s truly warranted. He can judge a situation so well it’s damn near creepy. Like when this dude was a bit well to “on” at the bus-stop. He just placed himself between us, when the guy didn’t get it. He just stools up, put his paws on the guys shoulders, stared into his eyes without making a sound, just stared. That did the trick. And he can play with any dog, he loves to say hi to everyone and he loves attention. I have literally not had a single problem with him. He is a rock. Because off shit in my past I am suspicious and jumpy. PTSD-shit. But as long as he is calm. I know everything is just fine. So mindlessly aggressive towards strangers and other animals.. Welk not mine and no one of my breeders friends have that problem either. The only once I know like that. Are the once that work for a security firm. To guard places nighttime. But. I mean fine, the guy stalking me that broke in to my apartment was actually lucky that I know where the “off button” is even if it’s a warranted threat. Because otherwise it probably would have ended up with me having to hide a body. Since stand your ground or the castle doctrine is not a thing in Sweden. But to say that they are simply aggressive towards strangers and animals outside of the pack, is bullshit in my opinion. They are aggressive towards threats and they are extremely vigilant and fast to perceive and keep track of the surroundings. But never aggressive unless there is a threat in the surrounding.
Your dog is like that because you are like that. ver, dogs directly born into a livestock herding pack in Turkey and/or directly coming from a bloodline like that gonna be too difficult to handle. They are tolerate other creatures much less than the dog you described. They are very easy going and smart dog with only right type of person, in right type of conditions but once they attack, the damage they cause is extremely brutal!!! Most of them really patient as you said about challenging Pitbull but many of them never gonna be that patient and will attack imidiatly. You won't even realise how quick and brutal that attack can be, until you see the other dog is completely dead! They do not let go, until their opponent is % 100 dead. Indeed, they keep checking the breath of opponent and bite again if opponent is not dead. It does not mean that they are gonna do that but it is better to know that they have that ability naturally and will not how to kill any kind of creature. This is the main reason, why many Turkish people (Knows these dogs) keep saying that; " Do not get these dogs if you are not a right type of person (Who will use them for the job that hey born to do (herding and protecting livestock) and provide them proper living conditions that they should have. Large open fields etc. so they can keep running all day.
@@godoff.5304 Iam fully aware of exactly how brutal they can be. Because I did my research before I even thought of trying to find the right one to fit my needs. However I am nothing like that. I got him to train personal protection with, because after incidents I've developed complex ptsd. And people in general stress me out like crazy. That's why I trained him to be the calm one to read a situation. So if my dogs don't react to someone I know they are okey pretty much. Which makes me less jumpy. Without them I don't set foot in town for example. But the last incident was a stalker breaking in to my home. So I am acctually okay with the amount of force they use if necessary. Since I know both my kangal and my Alabai would never use more force than they have too. So if the launched a deadly attack, that was what it took to resolve the situation. But of course Kangals who works guarding livestock with minimal contact with humans will be completly different. But I still think this video fails to explain how versatile they can be within the protection area.
@@DevilsPlaymate1 I picked up the best possible dog for such a problem you have. Yes, these dogs are fearless, powerful etc. but their royalty, connection to their leader human (To their pack), telepathy like connation skills, incredible senses and feelings what really makes them a special dog. No matter how dominant, powerful etc. they are, you can never see a Kangal, Akbash etc. any Turkish Shepherd Dog attacking or harming their leader, the other people or animals living in their pack. They have endless patient towards their humans. Some owners are terrible with these dogs but no matter how hard you push them, they are never gonna harm that person. There is a simple way to understand if a Kangal, Akbas etc. % 100 safe or not. For example; these dogs can walk in front of you, side of you, fallow you etc. this does not really makes a different. During these walks, if they turn around and look at you and continue walking again, and do the same thing in periods, tis is mean that they are paying attention to you and respect you as a leader. This is also mean that they are looking for your behaviors and signals to behave depends on how you react to that situation. You will see another dog cross the street barking at you like hell. They will immediately stand between you and that dog or what ever threatening you. Their body posture will imidiatly change. They show that statue a like very dominant, protective and ready to fight body language but they do not bark or attack directly. They will turn around and looking at your face to see how you want them to behave. If your dogs are like that, it is mean that they are very well balanced dogs, they will not do any damage if it is not necessary % 100. Additionally, wrestle with your dogs. They will love it. It will be great excursive for your too (Both physically and psychological). :)) They are totally big teddy bears, when it comes to playing. :)
@@godoff.5304 Now THAT is 100% accurate. It's like you've met my dogs. I could not have described it more accurae myself. oh we wrestle, especialy the Alabai and I. Lucifer my kangal likes to chase and play with squeeky toys and seldom wrestle with me other the cuddle wretsle when we go to bed. But my Alabai Donna, she is crazy when she plays, in the best possible way. But she plays full out, she just jumps and body tackles me and then we roll around playing in the grass. They are truly amazing. And just like you said EVERY threat to anyone the consider family, they place themselves between. So yeah but then agaim I spent A LOT of time socializing and training different scenarios and situations. So they would never "over react". Because as you said, a kangal or an Alabai for that matter, that is quick to defense will be EXTREMLY dangerous and hard to hold back if they wanted to attack. I mean together the weigh 335 lbs. So KNOWING that they follow my lead unless I'm rendered uncontious is the most importat thing to me. yeah to many people train the harshly. I go the other way. I never raise my voice, down lay them down for submission. I just never reward bad behavior correct it calmly everytime. And when the do it rightthey get rewarded. Because the nly reason well both dogs and people behave badly, is because they get something out of it. And if they dont get anything out of missbehaving, they won't. And obviouslly it's worked perfectly for me. I have a few videos of them on my channel. They are truly amazing.
I just watched my neighbor's un-neutered Kangal for the last 3 months until he found a new place to move. I have been around him since he was a puppy, I've always kneeled down and talked to him face to face. I've been grabbing his paws since he was a puppy. I have to say he is the best dog I have ever been around. Even when he was a puppy he was very good. I live in a small house and have lived with dogs half my life but have never had one of my own. We have such strong bond that I knew he would be ok, I think that's why I was asked to watch him too. The last 3 months were awesome. I treated him like a kid and walked him daily at the park. We also did car rides and trips for ice cream. He was really good with other animals, I walked him up to a rabbit one day on a walk, we were about 5 feet from him. I took him around amish horses, and his aunt would take him to a farm and let him run free. He used to watch over chickens so he is good around them. The neighbors pit jumped the fence on day and came up to me and Odin, Odin just stood next to me until I got the other dog's collar. He is super sweet, gentle, and loving. He watched over the 3 little kids across the street. He just left on Tuesday and the house feels empty without him around.
The king Kangal 🇹🇷 is olso very gently and very controle he don’t blaf never try to dominate a another dog he is intelligence and very strong greeting from the Netherlands 🇳🇱
They're that but Much more! They are genuinely Lovers of people, especially Children, If properly raised and socialized. These Dog's guard far more than Sheep or pastural animals . The villages around that specific area have them loose and moving in and around their Homes and Fields. Ferocious when required but Loving when allowed!
Absolutely one of my personal favorite of my personal six top dog breeds. An absolutely gorgeous animal which must be very seriously chosen, fed, trained, and maintained dog breeds. A superlative animal. Do not ever choose this breed of dog without every single consideration very seriously made for the health of the ancient paragon of canine delivery that this animal will deliver. Of the hundreds of currently recognized dog breeds, the Turkish Kangal must be given everything that it will more than surpass in every expectation. My top six of favorites among breeds the Kangal will equal and surpass every need of every single one. Congratulations you are the acme of canine ownership. Give what this animal has deserved, has earned and will surpass every single commendation of animal ownership.
My kangal is 6 yrs now and she is amazing! But yes not a great pick for first time owners. Very independent. Definitely do your research before getting one. But overall amazing dogs, best breed I have ever owned by far. Mellow yet alert and protective.
I had many breeds of dogs but none so loyal and loving. Highly independent and intelligent almost human like. Very calm and friendly but always alert as a Guardian dog. They are much more versatile and situation oriented than I would say any dog I owned or seen( without training) almost like a natural service dog for guard of land and a family. Too bad they are so rare. I first interacted with one at 30 years old and i didnt knew about his breed until then. Once you have one I think you fall în love for life like "a Great One".
Kangal, aka Anatolian, is a beast. I have a brother/sister pair guarding my goat herd. They are smart, attentive, protective, and extremely intimidating. I'm a fan.
A kangal will hear his boss from 5km away when he yells and will run to him when he's in need. He will die for you and will always be loyal, and he will chase an intruder from Turkey to Iran to take him out when it's needed. These are really strong and special dogs. They are massive, there head is at least twice or three times of a human.
Haha! I’ve got a kangal x cane corso mix and he’s honestly the best dog I’ve ever had. He’s certainly no wolf killer though, much better suited for belly rubs.
@Christie Woods I got myself a dog pet during the heat of the pandemic,I was nervous too,but now I'm happy and I'm so loving mish my dog pet. You'll be fine. I got mine through an online pet store.
@@petra3336 Goodnews! That's really lovely,I want a dog pet too but I've been so busy and stuck up lately,I guess I'll have to use an online pet store, that will get it delivered to me at my doorstep.
@Christie Woods Not bad I think; I bought two pitbulls too during the lock downs, from an Online pet store, through their sales personnel. I suggest you try buying from an online pet store since you don't have luxury of time to go out and buy one.
It was a nice and instructive video. I would like to make an addition. One of our mission dogs was Kangal. I was responsible for this dog. Therefore, while thinking about how to feed such a large dog, I learned that the shepherds in Anatolia gave these animals a kind of meal made of flour and bran called "YAL". So this breed has no feeding problem.
Accurate, we gave it to our Kangals in the village back in Turkey, mixture of roughly 150g of flour and 1.5 litre of boiling water it becomes like a paste instead of dough if you get the consistency right they love it and super cheap food but not very healthy if given only that
@@traveladdiction2514 that is true. In our language it's called "YAL" and it is not ordinary flour, and yes it's boiled in bone water and sometimes with additional vegetables. It was my fault not to give details, so I might have mislead Kangal owners. Many thanks.
@@attilatheturk2991 not a fault, just wanted people know it, i am Turk too :) i know the yal, i wrote in english for other interested people can understand ;)
first of all, i want to say a few things about the wolf subject. Kangal definitly can manage a wolf situation. Why some people just imagine, wolf vs kangal fight? it is not the point in there, the point is Kangal can manage the wolf situation professionally unlike the other shepherd dogs. pure blood kangal is always on alarm during the duty, can smell the wolf miles away and keep the wolf away from the sheep! it is not just the fighting with the wolf!... western people are coming from a dog fight culture, so they think in this aspect. but anatolian people comes from a shamanic ancient turkish culture, despite of in last centuries this is broken with the arabic religion effect, the history of kangal is based on this culture, so the goal is not killing the wolf, the goal is keeping it away! even if the fight happens, there is many examples that one kangal can beat a really huge wolf, yes mostly anatolian wolfs are small, but there is some alpha wolfs and they are as big as a grey wolfs. the wrong idea in this fight part : all kangals can kill all wolfs! this is wrong... so people think that it is a myth. But some kangals can kill some wolfs, this is the fact! there is bloodlines calls in turkish "kurtboğan" means wolfslayer. all these problems with misknowledge is about turkish people, we are not living with standardisations like western people do... maybe because of nomadic roots. so when we did not make our rules about our dogs, such misunderstandings happening. example: you can't say sth different about german shepherd... becasue germans are diciplined and ruled about it same as they are everything else :) last thing of my long and probably noone will read comment, to take a kangal out of turkey is forbidden by the law! you need special permit for that. but still you can find some abroad, be sure it is pure blood, if there is a legal bloodline track back to turkiye, and do not have one if you don't have a large area! small yards, very hot climates, are also not suitable. of course they can survive but sure they will be unhappy! All dogs are the best individually in theirselfs! but the KANGAL is the KING :D
There are many videos of Kangals taking on wolves, bears, cheetahs and even lions that one can find with a simple UA-cam search. In Turkey, we use them mostly as personal and property protection dogs rather than traditional shepherding dogs. They are very kind and exceptionally patient with small children to the point that they even tolerate "abuse" by them. Towards strangers they tend to be aloof until the very moment they suspect a credible threat against their master/family at which point you're basically having to deal with a 70 kilo active missile coming at you at 30 miles an hour with wolf-strangling jaws ready to apply more pressure on your neck than you can bench. Also noteworthy; Kangals do bark to warn distant threats, but they are notorious for having one of the least amount of barking threshold before charging if the perceived danger is near and imminent. So keep that in mind and don't assume "oh he'll bark and let me know if he's not liking it".
We have a female ,120 lbs. We were told she is Akbash/ Ovcharka, but really appears more like a Kangal only with a white mask, not black. Best guard dog I've ever seen. Fast, big, and amazingly strong. If it comes near her yard(200') she will bark. Even a plastic bag blowing in the wind.
Large amounts of energy 😂 they are innately calm and spend most of their time quietly lying down watching over their charges. They are not high energy at all.
They are guard dogs not just a dog that plays and that has a lot of energy but you be surprised how much energy they can have when it comes to protecting their property
@@gungec8510 very true, my friends Dad had one and at night it would be on super high alert. Sometimes you wouldn’t see him but hear the deep growl if someone walked past their gate.
Remember true Kangal are big, but not as big as you see in some photos. they are working dogs, strong and fast but also have amazing endurance. Some of those gigantic dogs you see are mixes and are mostly bred for dog fighting and show they can't work all day.
I had a wolf for 13 years. Not once did she ever break the skin, nor bite, anyone. But don't mistake anything, she was fiercely protective. Animals are like children, or like the rest of us it has to do with the way they are raised, and certain quirks in their personality.
Not for first-time dog owners. I have a female Kangal, and after having big German Shepards for 20 years, thought she would be no problem. I was wrong. She is incredibly strong and fast, and has knocked me down 5 times in the two months I've had her. Not out of aggression - she is completely submissive to me personally - just running & playing. Independent & likes her own space. Ideally, owner should have a multi-acre place the Kangal can run around. Loves being around & playing with tiny lapdogs
Also loves high grounds where they can watch. And space to bark:)) one of these dogs can bark so powerful you can feel the grund under you vibrate în open spaces! It is like a movie, close to roaring of wild animals.
I’ve had LGD ‘s of Kengal is one breed, for 30 years. They are independent thinkers, which they need to be for predator control, so there is a lag time between command and obedience. They can be great family dogs as they see their family as their livestock. They actually need less space/ activity than a border collie. Guarding is their job so they need something to guard (a child, a cat, couple of chickens) and they take it very seriously. They do bark quite a bit as this is their warning for predators they are on duty, so cityscapes are not recommended. I have had Pyrenees, Anatolian Shepherds and Komondor LGD’s as flock guardians and house dog(I live outside of town) and they are my first choice all around dog. LGD’s also have degrees of aggression depending on the breed.
@@crossbowmarksman i have a kangal/malakli mix in the usa... many usa dogs people call kangal are mixed with malakli and other breeds. But there are malakli breeders in Turkey and other countries who sell malakli puppies.
Yea my goal is to get at 20to 30 acres of land build a house of course a fence to keep one in but it's free to roar to protect the house from predators and a lil bit of livestock I been liking this breed for some time now cuz I wanna live off grid
I have a akc ICCF Cane Corso and have a lot of respect for the Kangal but with dogs like the breeders should vet who gets the pups better and make sure who gets them know what they are dealing with
@@dereksmallsuk WRONG. Every individual and official neutral party testing on canine bite force puts the Kangal dog at around 740 psi. Do some research before exposing your uneducated bias . Rottweiler 328
The kangal is a beautiful and awesome dog but despite how loyal he is and protective, I'd be afraid to have one around. My biggest fear is the dog possibly attacking my guests that visits me, attacking the neighborhood children if the dog somehow escapes my yard, and my lack of experience in dog handling. For now, I'll just admire this awesome powerhouse from a safe distance
@@enderk.4456 yeah but because I never owned a dog before, I won't have a clue how to control a powerful dog like the kangals. At least until I have experience in dog handling, I'm going to play it safe so I don't end up like the owners you hear on the news who can't control their dog as it viciously attacks a person. I'm going to take this safe and go with a small weaker dog then go up from there until I'm ready for a kangal (if I can find one)
@@celestrio man its guard dog not agressive dog protective to the children even smaller dogs or whatever it protects actually and if it is your guests the kangal would be ok with it in anatolia nobody visits us? :D but still maybe just because of your guests can afraid you can put him in a distance :)
@@kadircanyldran1849I forgot to mention I have a small yard. I'm sure a kangal would not be happy being in a small yard. It's about the size of a 3 bedroom house.
@@celestrio The areas it tries to control as part of its mission are square kilometers. The Central Asian dog loves large areas and has an independent personality. He usually observes from the hills in the areas he controls or mixes with the sheeps.originally.. luckyly as i know kangal is one of the dogs that complains the least doesnt bark much.But u must ask to a person who knows well man :)
The bite force makes sense look at the formation of their mouth like a wolf it is blunter allowing extreme pressure. Similar build allowing for similar speed and agility to a wolf. Kg/kg a trained kangal will 100% be able to take on a wolf of the same size.
This is what I need at my place. I have 40 acres in the high country of Apache county Arizona and there is almost nobody else out here. Massive coyote problem and I have seen some impressive sized cougar prints plus the Mexican wolf has been reintroduced in this area by the state and is a protected species. My chickens and goats don't stand a chance against such formidable predators. I only want a Kangal from Turkey because I find American breeders unscrupulous. Any suggestions from the dog community out there? I welcome everybody's input. Thank you
I just got a Male pup from a woman Not a breeder, but one who uses them in the field with Horses Goats and Llama's in TN. She's got two females that run Her 70 Acres and never has an issue with loss. She find's lot's of Dead Coyotes and Racoons and an occasional Bobcat. The stud of my pup came from someone high up in the Kangal Club of America, my Boy comes with a Genetic test and 2.5 year health guarantee. There are reputable and Ethical people breeding, most of whom are attached to the Breed for more than economics or utility. Go to the Kangal Club of America and peruse the Breeder registry, then specifically contact the Club and put in an inquiry. That's how I found mine, there are not many who breed and most have waiting lists? That's precisely how it should be and why this breed, though very large has an average life expectancy of 12-15 years! From everything i've read and seen on this breed, they will control the property and are incredible Companions to boot!
Would you hire me to work for you? I don't want money, it is enough just to have food and a place to sleep.I also help with the original (original Sivas Kangal) Kangal.I promise.
I have them and they are very comfortable to cuddle but of course if you don't keep them in line they can overpower you and game over for the owner....
most of the dogs shown here aren't pure blood kangals. they originally have a curly tail. although karabaş is a common dog name, there is an other breed called karabaş. so that info is also not entirely true.
Seeing this dog at play or wanting to play with its owner, and being so skippy all over the yard, then up next to the owner's legs so affectionately, I'm stunned! This is not usually what is depicted in most other videos.
Dear Karen, as all other livestock guardian breeds, they are very affectionate with their families, do not be surprised by this. For us, going into their territory to shoot the film, is another story...
@@DogCastTvEng Oh yes, of course. That is definitely understood. Many of these videos simply promote them as wolf killers and out in the field working and that they're not suitable for being companions in the house and that they need to be at their job doing their job all about the job, job, job, job. Thank you for showing us this side of the Kangal. It is said that they are good family and home companions good with kids and tolerant of them but it is rarely if ever seen in the videos I have come across before.
BASICALLY YALL. If you know u can’t handle stress well don’t get this or any large breed tbh as it could make them aggressive when they don’t need to be and their size and strength are the real deal💯 IF u don’t have a decent amount of land don’t get it AND if you don’t TRULY know how to socialize and treat such an intelligent animal don’t get it BASICALLY there’s a 80% chance this dog isn’t a good match for you. BUT for the elite 20% 🔥🤝 you’ve found a partner for life congrats
There is one thing missing in this video.Its Kangal.The dogs are not Kangal in this video.They are Anatolian Shepherd Dog.Once you see kangal you can understand the difference.
I don't buy dogs I rescue them... I think anyone that wants a dogs should go to a shelter and save a dog... And stop making people that breed dogs rich...
Kangal is happiest when he is with the sheep or domestic animal herds. he needs large field , manage his herd , protection his family from wild hunters very effectively. So in this lifestyle he'll have a long life till 16-17 age. withouth working and training they living around 11-12 years. He never attacks directly and run behind of unwanted wild animals like other guard dogs. fistly he warns wild animals from enough distance with growls and strong barking like roaring ,withouth leaving his borders..than wait around fence or field border because he knows some wild animals creating attack plan like wolves. if they keep getting closer more Kangal attacks deathly without thinking that he might die. He is the best protector for family farms and villages.
Please also consider Akbas which is also Anatolian shepherd with the same charecteristic with Kangal and other Anatolian shepherd only it is white color, faster than most other Anatolian shepherd, clever, loyal and noble as others, they are lovely dogs, I like to have one very much as soon as I can!
@@neilmurray7842 lol?we take these lands at 1071 before us these lands belong to greeks. before them these lands belong to sumer and hitit people. so when kuridsh people come to here?
If you are one of those very rare few people who actually need a guard dog for livestock protection or other genuinely important reasons and not as an accessory, the Malakli (albeit distantly related) is similar to the Kangal only bigger, stronger and more aggressive, one of the rare dog breed cases where defensive aggression is a desirable trait, wolves are no joke and Kangals probably appreciate the gargantuan Malakli standing by them on winter nights facing down packs of wolves.
malak; means droopy cheeks. malaklı; It means having saggy cheeks. The result of crossing the Kangal with other breeds of dogs. As a result, they are also a Kangal - Kangal hybrid. Kangal is the result of the natural mating of dog and wolf. His physical and behavioral traits come from his wolf genes. It is important not to lose it. As genes decrease, courage also decreases, and without courage, greatness is useless...
Kangals have an incredible intelligence that comes from their genetics. I can say that they are the only race that does not have sexual intercourse with their siblings. He doesn't need you to raise him. God gave him that intelligence and character. He will never harm children, he will protect his loved ones and even everything his loved ones have to the death, he dies himself, but he won't allow any harm to come to his loved ones. an amazing dog
They are majestic dogs to be sure. But I would tell you that a very small minority of dog enthusiasts should ever consider owning one. First off they need a large piece of property to patrol and to thrive. Kangals are a livestock guardian breed. Farms or Ranches is an ideal environment for the kangals. And they require experienced dog owners to train and socialize these dogs in a proper and responsible manner.
I see in the Video no Dogs, who have the right typical Attributes by a Kangal. The dogs you take in the Video are Turkish Sheperd mixes an Malakali( Turkish Mastiff).
Karabasc is a different breed. Similar in shape but significantly larger and heavier. They aren't as fast but they are the heavyweights in the flock guardian world.
they are persian shepard dogs let me telling you what atrributes and personality they have:: 1- they are not afraid anythings and ready to sacrifying for you 2- they are really powerful and so much powerful 3- they are very energic 4- they are funny and lovely dogs 5-you could trusting to them 6- if you purchase a Sarabi (persian Dog) after a several times they know you and rapidly recognize you and your family by sneafing them 8-they are loving childs so much 7- they are really talentive dogs you could training them until being what you like 8- they are really quiet dogs with a few barking (when its emergeny events happend) 9-dont taking their food when are eating own food they are really gelories and beautiful pets
Some of the dogs in this video are not pure Kangal breed. The nose bridge and eyes are dead giveaways. Generally speaking, Kangals are bigger than those shown in this video. Also, the skin thickness and skin elasticity of some of the dogs in this video are additional dead giveaways. But, the facts are good except male wolves in Turkey can be as big as 70kg. He appears to be quoting female wolves.
It depends lineage. If its mother or father has confirmed wolf kill, price grows. I have heard a german kennel paid 80.000 euro for a stud kangal. His seven generation were famous wolf killers (from mother and father sides)
My close friend has one, i couldn't enter the house with her being out and there are instances where she has gone for other visitors after they startled her or just came close. I was petrified of her, i let her sniff me nd sat next to her but what really did it was me sharing an onion bahdji with her. Now I can't go round without her pawing at the stair gate and then she will sit on me and lick me but i can grab her collar and calm her down. God forbid anyone ever enters that house when all the stair gates are open
if your country have dogs on street and you do not scared of them. it can be your first dog. however you have to know what is dog and how you manage them.
FYI: pronounced kangal not kengal. Due to dogs origins being in a region in Türkiye "Sivas Kangal". in addition karabas in a different breed of dog all together.
Who did he say people confuse them with? The Axelray Malockleys? I know that’s not correct but if anyone in this group know what he’s talking about could you be so nice as to inform me on this breed please?
@@DogCastTvEng Thank you SO MUCH!!!!!! I didn’t think I’d get a reply and I did!!!! I’m going to research now. The reason I was asking is because I love the breed first of all and I’ve been going back & forth whether or not my family should get a S.A.B. or a K.Kangal. I like the K.K. but he’s a bit skinny. So thanks agin from me & the family.
@@eddiecognac2653 dear Eddie, buy a Sarplaninac. The best LGD/shepherd dog, we have ever seen. Unknown and this is why uncorrupted by modern show craziness. You find several videos about them on this channel. Have good luck!
I have a lab and a golden doodle. I badly want one of these but I feel I am not ready. I am going to get a male roman rottweiler first to prepare me for this monster
I live in melbourne I always wanted a pitbull oh a German shepherd until I came across a UA-cam channel of the Turkish kangal the wolf killer and they loyalty to there own family and they always alert ⚠️ they don't back down to WOLF and BEAR oh any other predictor in the wild... I WANT A KANGAL than any other dog now
If your dog is a true Sivas Kangal it would have a registration number issued by the Turkish Government and taking them outside the country is illegal... No registration number its not a Kangal it might be a Anatolian mix breed but not a true Sivas Kangal one of the rarest breeds in existence.
They can learn to be good house dogs. If they love you and are outside and want to be with you while you are inside they can start eating a hole into your house so they can get close to you.
Hello there. I'm a Turk. I would like to ask those who want to have Kangal. Please do not confine them to a small garden or a house. They need to be in large gardens, open spaces. Instinctively, they want to go up high places where they can observe the environment well. This has been observed by the owners of this dog. Small hills and high places are needed for these dogs. I tried to feed it in the garden of our house. I could tell that the animal wasn't happy. So I sent it to a gas station with a huge garden. He became the happiest dog in the world. I would go and play with him from time to time.
You don't have to be near an animal to love it. You need to find a place where your dog will be happy. It is also a joy to know that your dog is happy.
@Griffin Geb Nah. It's mostly Morgoth. :p
@Griffin Geb Yeah. Caus they know his deep and they give him most accurate name. :p
@Griffin Geb Haha yeah correct. Melkor just turn in to devil and turned who someone gives his name an evil name. Its like big traffic accident. :D
WHAT ABOUT PRICE
@@rajanagendrakanakam786 idk. it's probably 500-1k us dolar.
This dog doesnt only need space and action, it also needs a job.
unemployment causes depression, Kangal definitely needs a mission.
....and a budget, These guys eat more than I do!
Guarding your house also a job
Most working breeds do.
I knew a stray that lived în a neighbourhood. Every day would sniff every inch on that area...maybe 7 buildings. No other stray New dog was there, no dogs acting stupid and if you would give him food would guard you. He was a Guardian for 10 children almost. No one ever taught or asked that dog to do something like that and every day he would do his job.
I had a kangal dog. He is normally very calm and playful. But things change if he perceives a threat to the area, the house we live in. For example, a construction worker working in the side garden almost lost his arm just because he put his hand on the wall of our house! Also, when my father goes on duty at night, he comes out of his hut, does not sleep until morning and wanders around the house. When my father returns home in the morning, he too enters his cabin.
@A Z It was protecting his property keep your hands off that side of the fence
@A Z No the dog did its job
Pretty basic dog behavior if you ask me
@@dasa5023 👍 yep even for a chihuahua
I have a 28 month old Kangal, I raised and bred Rotweiliers for about ten years, I quit because 2 many trash dogs and other consideration. My Kangal is a sweetheart to those he knows.. These dogs are very powerful and extremely fast, he escaped his enclosure one time and I was driving around looking for him. My daughter was in the truck and said, Dad, Rocky is running beside the car. I looked down and saw I was doing 30mph. I stopped and he jumped in the truck. These dogs are the most intelligent of the breeds I have experienced. They are very independent and require a very strong Alpha male to be respected. Rocky watches every move I make, and follows me everywhere I go You can see in their eyes the intelligence. when weather permits. I take him for long walks and he loves it. People always want to pet him and know all about him and he loves the attention. He is very adept at reading me and knows if people are evil.. A crackhead approached me one day and when he was about 20 feet away, Rocky got between us showed a toothy smile, growled lowly, barked once and stood at attention. the guy froze. I told him to walk away slowly and he did. Formidable animals who fear nothing. My Children say he cries when I leave and lies in front of the door till he hears my truck pull up or I walk in, when he hops up and down on his back legs and hugs my neck with his front paws and face when I walk in, wagging his tail so hard it looks like his hips are going to dislocate. Love this dog'
Its exactly what a mix kangal did! What you describe îs very similar to what I saw about this dog. But also, I can argue that he doesnt need a man always. I, for exemple, am a female and when I met that dog I was feeling weak and I was depressed or something. I just got a puppy husky and this kangal mix almost adopted my puppy acting like a mentor, but was very loving towards me listening to my comands even about barking at some people( who were for sure not good people ) or he would position himself with his back at me growling at what he perceived a threat and pushing me back with his back în the same time. He would bark loud and powerful ( the grund would shake even) at people even tall well built men, but would listen to me. I didnt raised him and we got really close like I was his owner în two months. He knew people and situations better than I did a lot of Times, it would Take me months to realize some things he knew în an instant. For exemple would boss around a terra nove 2 Times his size, would love children protect them let them ride his back but wouldnt even look at one kid who eventualy turned out to be really shady like juvenile problems related, once i lost my dog and i looked for it all night, while the kangal went with me half the town to help me look, while he was being caaalm and relaxed - turned out my dog came back next morning safe and sound. Very good guard dog, loyal and sweet and social inteligence 11/10.
That's AWSOME our Male English Springer cries until my husband comes home. I bet Rocky is beautiful this is the first time I have heard of them
He sounds great!! Glad you appreciate him so much!! My Yorkie Fox Terrier surprised me. I had someone over and my 14 lb dog put himself in between me and him and he jumped up and snapped. He wouldn't let that person near me. I never saw him do that except in the car. He doesn't let everyone approach!!
👍❤️
I rescued a 1 year old from the animal shelter here in the U.S. They thought he was a mix between a German Shepherd and a Golden Retriever, and so did I, until his genetics test came back. He is the long coat variety, golden in color. The previous owner was not an alpha owner and the dog was challenging him to the point he was about to shoot it, so he turned him over to the shelter. Well, I adopted him, thinking Cooper would be as easy to train as my previous Goldens. Ha! We went round and round for about 5 months before he finally realized I was the boss. For much of that time of struggle, I wasn't sure if I would be successful in getting him under control, but one day there was a total acceptance of me as alpha. I'm not sure what caused the change, but he quit challenging my leadership. He is an amazingly sweet dog and so loyal to me. He's my best friend, for sure, and we would both put our lives on the line for the other.
One day, about three months after I got him, we were in town and a junkyard dog - a German Shepherd - saw Cooper and escaped the junkyard to come attack us. Cooper instinctively knew what to do.... and it was brilliant! The German launched at Cooper and Cooper instantly positioned himself to grab the German by the back of the neck, pinning him to the ground, biting so hard he drew blood. Then he released the yelping German, and the German ran away in defeat and fear. The whole fight was over in ten seconds! The neck bite is instinctive to a Kangal and their signature move. I have zero fear of anyone or any animal in this region when my constant companion is with me. That was the only aggression I've ever seen from him. Purely a defensive dog. He is super gentle with other dogs, cats, kids, old people, etc.
Just don't act like a threat. Lol. He'll raise heck if a stranger comes around, but once I introduce them, he is fine. An exceptional dog, but don't expect them to learn commands like most dogs. They have little interest in entertaining humans. That is not their natural drive. They dig a lot, will run off, given the chance (though they come back, eventually) and get bored super easily, which can lead to mischief. They are not for the inexperienced or impatient owner and know they can manipulate the weak owner... and they will. I do not really recommend them for most people, honestly. But we have become quite the team, he and I. You have to exercise them and they need constant mental stimulation to be an even-keeled and steady companion. Socialize them at every opportunity - it won't diminish their protective instincts in the least, but it ensures they develop a healthy understanding of what/who is a threat and what/who is not.
Best dog I ever had, but also the most time-consuming dog I've ever had.
@E Addison - thank you, and yeah, I believe so, as well. Much of my life revolves around him. For instance, I just traded in my car for a bigger vehicle with fold-down rear seats - a small SUV - because he outgrew my little Nissan. I'd never have done anything like that in the past, but I take him with me everywhere I can.. We just got back from the store, where two people in the parking lot saw him before I rolled the windows up to go inside and both commented on what a handsome dog he is. He wins fans everywhere and loves meeting new people. Very unique dogs.
so it can be friendly to other dogs too?, will they attack your visitors?
@@sorusty5764 he's super friendly to other dogs, cats, chickens, or anything else he sees has been accepted by me or people he knows. It's the strangers he is cautious of, including people. As a livestock guardian, it's in their nature to protect "their flock" and be suspicious of anything not in that flock. So, any of my friends or their animals are considered "his flock." He's a big dog, but very gentle with small animals.
@@bluestudio67 now i want one, what a dog so it can train to be socialize to other pet, but im afraid to some other agressive dogs like rott
@@sorusty5764 they'll be the guardian of every pet you own if they realize those pets are part of the family. If attacked by another dog, they will never back down. At least I don't see Cooper ever backing down. They're fearless in the face of an attacker. Having said that, when we visit friends who own dogs, he is very submissive on their property. He knows it is not his territory and is extremely respectful, going out of his way not to offend the good senses of other dogs. But in public, he knows to be on guard. That's why you have to ensure they understand YOU are the pack leader and they have to understand that very early on. They'll feed off of your behavior. So, they aren't for the timid or afraid, because if they see the alpha as being in a fearful state, or agitated, they might be on the edge, ready to protect, whether it is warranted or not. The Kangal has a VERY keen sense of detecting threat from non-threat on their own, but if they sense an owner is on edge, well... I'm not so sure that chaos wouldn't ensue. They need a calm guide in new territory and with other new dog friends. If you get one, get a puppy, socialize it, spend tons of time with it in new places, so it trusts your leadership. There is one friend whose dog simply hates any other dog. In order to avoid a potential fight, I do not take him there. My friends dog loves me, but not Cooper. So he stays home when I go there. I say it alot though: socialize, socialize, socialize. You'll end up with an incredibly stable companion.
I had a kangal mix, it took a couple months, but she is super smart and very protective, doesn't care how big her foe is.
How much you are paying for your kangal per month
@@abishek.c1395 she was a rescue so she was free it was only food and vet Bill's, about $50 per month on average. She's not pure bred so she's about the size of a husky, not as large as a pure bred
How do you know? Are you dogfighting?
We have a lot of wildlife where I live, when I go for hikes or camping my dogs go with. If she didn't know whatever was approaching it didn't get within 20 meters of me unless I told her it was ok.
@@ryantidwell6656 Watch out for killer ducks
My family breeds Kangals and the Kangals really good at being independent and making their own decisions. They’re loyal, smart and love babies. A great pet but you have to be firm, strong and loving. I wouldn’t recommend as a first timer dog but once you get one you’ll have a great protector and companion who’ll fight tooth and nail to protect their family and charges.
lucky
Do you have a contact?
Where are u located?
they describe him as a sheepdog, but this description is wrong. There are two reasons for this. shepherds use different breeds of dogs and not all of them can be included in the definition of sheepdog. The second reason is that Kangal is not a shepherd dog, he is a guard dog. Protects the things that are important to the owner. It could be a herd of animals, it could be a house, it could be a chicken farm. so as you can see the definitions are completely wrong. I don't know if they have ready puppies, but I know good and honest Kangal breeders. If anyone needs or wants to buy, I can guide you.
They're boo boos! Very playful, overly so. And very sensitive, like big babies. they'll be on high alert sometimes, but typically won't bite anyone unless attacked or fear for their safety, which isn't often at all for MOST kangals.
Kangal is a natural breed. That makes it quite outstanding despite it's weight and size in speed and power.
That's good since its speed and power has been determined by evolution and nature not diluted by human experimentation
There are some videos which tell that kangal can kill a wolf in one on one battle
@@VijaySingh-xc2fg easily. Wolves in Turkey actually tend to be scared of them
@@VijaySingh-xc2fg Kangal is fighting against iranian and anatolian wolves which are relatively small sized wolves. A Kangal cant beat an Alpha wolf alone. Also Kangal’s have spiked collara when they fight against wolves. When a Kangal get hurt in a fight owner cures. So wolves are no joke against any dog breed.
Landrace breed. Amazing animals.
Strong, Independent, Gentle, Loyal, 1,000 years of natural selection and protecting nomadic flocks. One of very few dogs that will confront a wolf in a dark winter night........
And in terms of "large" dogs one of if not THE healthiest to own, very very few health problems. Not only physically strong and mentally strong but genetically strong, a perfect dog with the right working environment for many people and they don't realise it :(

I am very sorry but in atlanta i think there is but depeds on the place??
I have a Kangal and two kangal/alabai mixes.
And yeah some of the things you say fit.
But to speak on only the pure-bred Kangal.
Sure I don’t know how he would have been with a novice dog owner. But with me, he is seriously the smartest, sweetest and easiest dog I’ve ever had. Even though his size it’s never ever a problem bringing him with me wherever I go. I used to train and own German shepherds before. And yea of course they are easy to train. But Lucifer (my Kangal) picks it up ten times faster. Without overstating.
And also he is NEVER aggressive UNLESS there is a serious threat. And even then he never ever uses more force than necessary to resolve the problem. He got attacked by a pit bull. He kept it away just by using his size, didn’t even take it to a level where he even tried to bite the pit bull. Also he loves EVERYONE and EVERY animal (except spiders. Because of my phobia he treats them like well a real threat) but besides spiders he is never ever aggressive unless it’s truly warranted. He can judge a situation so well it’s damn near creepy. Like when this dude was a bit well to “on” at the bus-stop. He just placed himself between us, when the guy didn’t get it. He just stools up, put his paws on the guys shoulders, stared into his eyes without making a sound, just stared. That did the trick.
And he can play with any dog, he loves to say hi to everyone and he loves attention.
I have literally not had a single problem with him. He is a rock. Because off shit in my past I am suspicious and jumpy. PTSD-shit. But as long as he is calm. I know everything is just fine.
So mindlessly aggressive towards strangers and other animals.. Welk not mine and no one of my breeders friends have that problem either.
The only once I know like that. Are the once that work for a security firm. To guard places nighttime.
But. I mean fine, the guy stalking me that broke in to my apartment was actually lucky that I know where the “off button” is even if it’s a warranted threat.
Because otherwise it probably would have ended up with me having to hide a body. Since stand your ground or the castle doctrine is not a thing in Sweden.
But to say that they are simply aggressive towards strangers and animals outside of the pack, is bullshit in my opinion. They are aggressive towards threats and they are extremely vigilant and fast to perceive and keep track of the surroundings. But never aggressive unless there is a threat in the surrounding.
You are a goddess.
Your dog is like that because you are like that. ver, dogs directly born into a livestock herding pack in Turkey and/or directly coming from a bloodline like that gonna be too difficult to handle. They are tolerate other creatures much less than the dog you described.
They are very easy going and smart dog with only right type of person, in right type of conditions but once they attack, the damage they cause is extremely brutal!!! Most of them really patient as you said about challenging Pitbull but many of them never gonna be that patient and will attack imidiatly. You won't even realise how quick and brutal that attack can be, until you see the other dog is completely dead!
They do not let go, until their opponent is % 100 dead. Indeed, they keep checking the breath of opponent and bite again if opponent is not dead.
It does not mean that they are gonna do that but it is better to know that they have that ability naturally and will not how to kill any kind of creature. This is the main reason, why many Turkish people (Knows these dogs) keep saying that; " Do not get these dogs if you are not a right type of person (Who will use them for the job that hey born to do (herding and protecting livestock) and provide them proper living conditions that they should have. Large open fields etc. so they can keep running all day.
@@godoff.5304 Iam fully aware of exactly how brutal they can be. Because I did my research before I even thought of trying to find the right one to fit my needs. However I am nothing like that. I got him to train personal protection with, because after incidents I've developed complex ptsd. And people in general stress me out like crazy. That's why I trained him to be the calm one to read a situation. So if my dogs don't react to someone I know they are okey pretty much. Which makes me less jumpy. Without them I don't set foot in town for example. But the last incident was a stalker breaking in to my home. So I am acctually okay with the amount of force they use if necessary. Since I know both my kangal and my Alabai would never use more force than they have too. So if the launched a deadly attack, that was what it took to resolve the situation. But of course Kangals who works guarding livestock with minimal contact with humans will be completly different. But I still think this video fails to explain how versatile they can be within the protection area.
@@DevilsPlaymate1 I picked up the best possible dog for such a problem you have. Yes, these dogs are fearless, powerful etc. but their royalty, connection to their leader human (To their pack), telepathy like connation skills, incredible senses and feelings what really makes them a special dog.
No matter how dominant, powerful etc. they are, you can never see a Kangal, Akbash etc. any Turkish Shepherd Dog attacking or harming their leader, the other people or animals living in their pack. They have endless patient towards their humans. Some owners are terrible with these dogs but no matter how hard you push them, they are never gonna harm that person.
There is a simple way to understand if a Kangal, Akbas etc. % 100 safe or not.
For example; these dogs can walk in front of you, side of you, fallow you etc. this does not really makes a different.
During these walks, if they turn around and look at you and continue walking again, and do the same thing in periods, tis is mean that they are paying attention to you and respect you as a leader.
This is also mean that they are looking for your behaviors and signals to behave depends on how you react to that situation.
You will see another dog cross the street barking at you like hell. They will immediately stand between you and that dog or what ever threatening you. Their body posture will imidiatly change. They show that statue a like very dominant, protective and ready to fight body language but they do not bark or attack directly. They will turn around and looking at your face to see how you want them to behave.
If your dogs are like that, it is mean that they are very well balanced dogs, they will not do any damage if it is not necessary % 100.
Additionally, wrestle with your dogs. They will love it. It will be great excursive for your too (Both physically and psychological). :))
They are totally big teddy bears, when it comes to playing. :)
@@godoff.5304 Now THAT is 100% accurate. It's like you've met my dogs. I could not have described it more accurae myself.
oh we wrestle, especialy the Alabai and I. Lucifer my kangal likes to chase and play with squeeky toys and seldom wrestle with me other the cuddle wretsle when we go to bed. But my Alabai Donna, she is crazy when she plays, in the best possible way. But she plays full out, she just jumps and body tackles me and then we roll around playing in the grass. They are truly amazing. And just like you said EVERY threat to anyone the consider family, they place themselves between. So yeah but then agaim I spent A LOT of time socializing and training different scenarios and situations. So they would never "over react". Because as you said, a kangal or an Alabai for that matter, that is quick to defense will be EXTREMLY dangerous and hard to hold back if they wanted to attack. I mean together the weigh 335 lbs. So KNOWING that they follow my lead unless I'm rendered uncontious is the most importat thing to me.
yeah to many people train the harshly. I go the other way. I never raise my voice, down lay them down for submission. I just never reward bad behavior correct it calmly everytime. And when the do it rightthey get rewarded. Because the nly reason well both dogs and people behave badly, is because they get something out of it. And if they dont get anything out of missbehaving, they won't. And obviouslly it's worked perfectly for me. I have a few videos of them on my channel. They are truly amazing.
I just watched my neighbor's un-neutered Kangal for the last 3 months until he found a new place to move. I have been around him since he was a puppy, I've always kneeled down and talked to him face to face. I've been grabbing his paws since he was a puppy. I have to say he is the best dog I have ever been around. Even when he was a puppy he was very good. I live in a small house and have lived with dogs half my life but have never had one of my own. We have such strong bond that I knew he would be ok, I think that's why I was asked to watch him too. The last 3 months were awesome. I treated him like a kid and walked him daily at the park. We also did car rides and trips for ice cream. He was really good with other animals, I walked him up to a rabbit one day on a walk, we were about 5 feet from him. I took him around amish horses, and his aunt would take him to a farm and let him run free. He used to watch over chickens so he is good around them. The neighbors pit jumped the fence on day and came up to me and Odin, Odin just stood next to me until I got the other dog's collar. He is super sweet, gentle, and loving. He watched over the 3 little kids across the street. He just left on Tuesday and the house feels empty without him around.
The king Kangal 🇹🇷 is olso very gently and very controle he don’t blaf never try to dominate a another dog he is intelligence and very strong greeting from the Netherlands 🇳🇱
They're that but Much more! They are genuinely Lovers of people, especially Children, If properly raised and socialized. These Dog's guard far more than Sheep or pastural animals . The villages around that specific area have them loose and moving in and around their Homes and Fields. Ferocious when required but Loving when allowed!
never hurt children
Absolutely one of my personal favorite of my personal six top dog breeds. An absolutely gorgeous animal which must be very seriously chosen, fed, trained, and maintained dog breeds.
A superlative animal.
Do not ever choose this breed of dog without every single consideration very seriously made for the health of the ancient paragon of canine delivery that this animal will deliver.
Of the hundreds of currently recognized dog breeds, the Turkish Kangal must be given everything that it will more than surpass in every expectation.
My top six of favorites among breeds the Kangal will equal and surpass every need of every single one.
Congratulations you are the acme of canine ownership.
Give what this animal has deserved, has earned and will surpass
every single commendation of animal ownership.
My kangal is 6 yrs now and she is amazing! But yes not a great pick for first time owners. Very independent. Definitely do your research before getting one. But overall amazing dogs, best breed I have ever owned by far. Mellow yet alert and protective.
I had many breeds of dogs but none so loyal and loving. Highly independent and intelligent almost human like. Very calm and friendly but always alert as a Guardian dog. They are much more versatile and situation oriented than I would say any dog I owned or seen( without training) almost like a natural service dog for guard of land and a family. Too bad they are so rare. I first interacted with one at 30 years old and i didnt knew about his breed until then. Once you have one I think you fall în love for life like "a Great One".
👍❤️
Kangal, aka Anatolian, is a beast. I have a brother/sister pair guarding my goat herd. They are smart, attentive, protective, and extremely intimidating. I'm a fan.

A kangal will hear his boss from 5km away when he yells and will run to him when he's in need. He will die for you and will always be loyal, and he will chase an intruder from Turkey to Iran to take him out when it's needed.
These are really strong and special dogs.
They are massive, there head is at least twice or three times of a human.
Haha! I’ve got a kangal x cane corso mix and he’s honestly the best dog I’ve ever had. He’s certainly no wolf killer though, much better suited for belly rubs.
You put two of the scariest dogs and bred them. What monster did that?!
I would love to see your dog
@Christie Woods I got myself a dog pet during the heat of the pandemic,I was nervous too,but now I'm happy and I'm so loving mish my dog pet. You'll be fine. I got mine through an online pet store.
@@petra3336 Goodnews! That's really lovely,I want a dog pet too but I've been so busy and stuck up lately,I guess I'll have to use an online pet store, that will get it delivered to me at my doorstep.
@Christie Woods Not bad I think; I bought two pitbulls too during the lock downs, from an Online pet store, through their sales personnel. I suggest you try buying from an online pet store since you don't have luxury of time to go out and buy one.
It was a nice and instructive video. I would like to make an addition. One of our mission dogs was Kangal. I was responsible for this dog. Therefore, while thinking about how to feed such a large dog, I learned that the shepherds in Anatolia gave these animals a kind of meal made of flour and bran called "YAL". So this breed has no feeding problem.
Accurate, we gave it to our Kangals in the village back in Turkey, mixture of roughly 150g of flour and 1.5 litre of boiling water it becomes like a paste instead of dough if you get the consistency right they love it and super cheap food but not very healthy if given only that
@@TheAlee233 definitely! Needs some additions!
but it is not regular flour! it is barley flour! and there is mostly boiled bone water in it etc... it is not a simple pastry :)
@@traveladdiction2514 that is true. In our language it's called "YAL" and it is not ordinary flour, and yes it's boiled in bone water and sometimes with additional vegetables. It was my fault not to give details, so I might have mislead Kangal owners. Many thanks.
@@attilatheturk2991 not a fault, just wanted people know it, i am Turk too :) i know the yal, i wrote in english for other interested people can understand ;)
first of all, i want to say a few things about the wolf subject. Kangal definitly can manage a wolf situation. Why some people just imagine, wolf vs kangal fight? it is not the point in there, the point is Kangal can manage the wolf situation professionally unlike the other shepherd dogs. pure blood kangal is always on alarm during the duty, can smell the wolf miles away and keep the wolf away from the sheep! it is not just the fighting with the wolf!... western people are coming from a dog fight culture, so they think in this aspect. but anatolian people comes from a shamanic ancient turkish culture, despite of in last centuries this is broken with the arabic religion effect, the history of kangal is based on this culture, so the goal is not killing the wolf, the goal is keeping it away! even if the fight happens, there is many examples that one kangal can beat a really huge wolf, yes mostly anatolian wolfs are small, but there is some alpha wolfs and they are as big as a grey wolfs. the wrong idea in this fight part : all kangals can kill all wolfs! this is wrong... so people think that it is a myth. But some kangals can kill some wolfs, this is the fact! there is bloodlines calls in turkish "kurtboğan" means wolfslayer. all these problems with misknowledge is about turkish people, we are not living with standardisations like western people do... maybe because of nomadic roots. so when we did not make our rules about our dogs, such misunderstandings happening. example: you can't say sth different about german shepherd... becasue germans are diciplined and ruled about it same as they are everything else :) last thing of my long and probably noone will read comment, to take a kangal out of turkey is forbidden by the law! you need special permit for that. but still you can find some abroad, be sure it is pure blood, if there is a legal bloodline track back to turkiye, and do not have one if you don't have a large area! small yards, very hot climates, are also not suitable. of course they can survive but sure they will be unhappy! All dogs are the best individually in theirselfs! but the KANGAL is the KING :D
Yes we agree with you. We have a separate film about LGD dogs vs wolves, where there are a lot of mentions about LGD packs, who work effectively.
@@DogCastTvEng thanks! i'll watch that too
Kangals do have the strongest bite force at around 740 psi
There are many videos of Kangals taking on wolves, bears, cheetahs and even lions that one can find with a simple UA-cam search. In Turkey, we use them mostly as personal and property protection dogs rather than traditional shepherding dogs. They are very kind and exceptionally patient with small children to the point that they even tolerate "abuse" by them. Towards strangers they tend to be aloof until the very moment they suspect a credible threat against their master/family at which point you're basically having to deal with a 70 kilo active missile coming at you at 30 miles an hour with wolf-strangling jaws ready to apply more pressure on your neck than you can bench. Also noteworthy; Kangals do bark to warn distant threats, but they are notorious for having one of the least amount of barking threshold before charging if the perceived danger is near and imminent. So keep that in mind and don't assume "oh he'll bark and let me know if he's not liking it".
We have a female ,120 lbs. We were told she is Akbash/ Ovcharka, but really appears more like a Kangal only with a white mask, not black. Best guard dog I've ever seen. Fast, big, and amazingly strong. If it comes near her yard(200') she will bark. Even a plastic bag blowing in the wind.
Large amounts of energy 😂 they are innately calm and spend most of their time quietly lying down watching over their charges. They are not high energy at all.
During the day, yes you are right, but at night, you will be surprised
energy saving :)
They are guard dogs not just a dog that plays and that has a lot of energy but you be surprised how much energy they can have when it comes to protecting their property
Killing a wolf takes a bit energy actually..
@@gungec8510 very true, my friends Dad had one and at night it would be on super high alert. Sometimes you wouldn’t see him but hear the deep growl if someone walked past their gate.
Remember true Kangal are big, but not as big as you see in some photos. they are working dogs, strong and fast but also have amazing endurance. Some of those gigantic dogs you see are mixes and are mostly bred for dog fighting and show they can't work all day.
Completely agree!
I had a wolf for 13 years. Not once did she ever break the skin, nor bite, anyone. But don't mistake anything, she was fiercely protective. Animals are like children, or like the rest of us it has to do with the way they are raised, and certain quirks in their personality.
Not for first-time dog owners. I have a female Kangal, and after having big German Shepards for 20 years, thought she would be no problem. I was wrong. She is incredibly strong and fast, and has knocked me down 5 times in the two months I've had her. Not out of aggression - she is completely submissive to me personally - just running & playing. Independent & likes her own space. Ideally, owner should have a multi-acre place the Kangal can run around. Loves being around & playing with tiny lapdogs
I love this breed
@@mandeepsinghrandhawa2027 Me also. Just know what you are getting into. I did not, but am too stubborn to give up and admit defeat....
Can u show me Your female kangal photos ?
@@mandeepsinghrandhawa2027 Happy to. How do I do it ?
Also loves high grounds where they can watch. And space to bark:)) one of these dogs can bark so powerful you can feel the grund under you vibrate în open spaces! It is like a movie, close to roaring of wild animals.
I’ve had LGD ‘s of Kengal is one breed, for 30 years. They are independent thinkers, which they need to be for predator control, so there is a lag time between command and obedience. They can be great family dogs as they see their family as their livestock. They actually need less space/ activity than a border collie. Guarding is their job so they need something to guard (a child, a cat, couple of chickens) and they take it very seriously. They do bark quite a bit as this is their warning for predators they are on duty, so cityscapes are not recommended. I have had Pyrenees, Anatolian Shepherds and Komondor LGD’s as flock guardians and house dog(I live outside of town) and they are my first choice all around dog. LGD’s also have degrees of aggression depending on the breed.
Kangal...
I’d really like to see you do a video on the Aksaray Malaklisi and maybe one VS the Kangal to show differences

Yea my goal is to get at 20to 30 acres of land build a house of course a fence to keep one in but it's free to roar to protect the house from predators and a lil bit of livestock I been liking this breed for some time now cuz I wanna live off grid
I am considering this breed for my farm to protect the land and the animals there.
There’s a kangal/deerhound mix at the pound I’ve been visiting. I’m in the process of moving to house with a bigger yard and then I’ll adopt him.
I have a akc ICCF Cane Corso and have a lot of respect for the Kangal but with dogs like the breeders should vet who gets the pups better and make sure who gets them know what they are dealing with

The kangal is a beautiful and awesome dog but despite how loyal he is and protective, I'd be afraid to have one around. My biggest fear is the dog possibly attacking my guests that visits me, attacking the neighborhood children if the dog somehow escapes my yard, and my lack of experience in dog handling. For now, I'll just admire this awesome powerhouse from a safe distance
They won’t attack your guest as far you let them in.
@@enderk.4456 yeah but because I never owned a dog before, I won't have a clue how to control a powerful dog like the kangals. At least until I have experience in dog handling, I'm going to play it safe so I don't end up like the owners you hear on the news who can't control their dog as it viciously attacks a person. I'm going to take this safe and go with a small weaker dog then go up from there until I'm ready for a kangal (if I can find one)
@@celestrio man its guard dog not agressive dog protective to the children even smaller dogs or whatever it protects actually and if it is your guests the kangal would be ok with it in anatolia nobody visits us? :D but still maybe just because of your guests can afraid you can put him in a distance :)
@@kadircanyldran1849I forgot to mention I have a small yard. I'm sure a kangal would not be happy being in a small yard. It's about the size of a 3 bedroom house.
@@celestrio The areas it tries to control as part of its mission are square kilometers. The Central Asian dog loves large areas and has an independent personality. He usually observes from the hills in the areas he controls or mixes with the sheeps.originally.. luckyly as i know kangal is one of the dogs that complains the least doesnt bark much.But u must ask to a person who knows well man :)
The bite force makes sense look at the formation of their mouth like a wolf it is blunter allowing extreme pressure. Similar build allowing for similar speed and agility to a wolf. Kg/kg a trained kangal will 100% be able to take on a wolf of the same size.
Thank you for the various videos on the Kangal. I loved them all. I want to have one but unfortunately, I dont have such a large outdoor open space
They are originated in Central Asian. In South Asia they called it Afghan Kuchi.
Beautiful dogs 🐶

This is what I need at my place. I have 40 acres in the high country of Apache county Arizona and there is almost nobody else out here. Massive coyote problem and I have seen some impressive sized cougar prints plus the Mexican wolf has been reintroduced in this area by the state and is a protected species. My chickens and goats don't stand a chance against such formidable predators. I only want a Kangal from Turkey because I find American breeders unscrupulous. Any suggestions from the dog community out there? I welcome everybody's input. Thank you
We know Hungarian working line kennels where all founder dogs were imported from Turkey. Let us know if you need the contact.
I just got a Male pup from a woman Not a breeder, but one who uses them in the field with Horses Goats and Llama's in TN. She's got two females that run Her 70 Acres and never has an issue with loss. She find's lot's of Dead Coyotes and Racoons and an occasional Bobcat. The stud of my pup came from someone high up in the Kangal Club of America, my Boy comes with a Genetic test and 2.5 year health guarantee. There are reputable and Ethical people breeding, most of whom are attached to the Breed for more than economics or utility. Go to the Kangal Club of America and peruse the Breeder registry, then specifically contact the Club and put in an inquiry. That's how I found mine, there are not many who breed and most have waiting lists? That's precisely how it should be and why this breed, though very large has an average life expectancy of 12-15 years! From everything i've read and seen on this breed, they will control the property and are incredible Companions to boot!
Would you hire me to work for you? I don't want money, it is enough just to have food and a place to sleep.I also help with the original (original Sivas Kangal) Kangal.I promise.

most of the dogs shown here aren't pure blood kangals. they originally have a curly tail. although karabaş is a common dog name, there is an other breed called karabaş. so that info is also not entirely true.
Seeing this dog at play or wanting to play with its owner, and being so skippy all over the yard, then up next to the owner's legs so affectionately, I'm stunned! This is not usually what is depicted in most other videos.
Dear Karen, as all other livestock guardian breeds, they are very affectionate with their families, do not be surprised by this. For us, going into their territory to shoot the film, is another story...
@@DogCastTvEng Oh yes, of course. That is definitely understood. Many of these videos simply promote them as wolf killers and out in the field working and that they're not suitable for being companions in the house and that they need to be at their job doing their job all about the job, job, job, job.
Thank you for showing us this side of the Kangal. It is said that they are good family and home companions good with kids and tolerant of them but it is rarely if ever seen in the videos I have come across before.
@@karenmullen3210 ok, understood, thanks.

Let me put it on a simple way; if you can't handle a siberian husky don't bother considering about owning a Kangal. Ratio is 3 to 12
BASICALLY YALL. If you know u can’t handle stress well don’t get this or any large breed tbh as it could make them aggressive when they don’t need to be and their size and strength are the real deal💯
IF u don’t have a decent amount of land don’t get it
AND if you don’t TRULY know how to socialize and treat such an intelligent animal don’t get it
BASICALLY there’s a 80% chance this dog isn’t a good match for you.
BUT for the elite 20% 🔥🤝 you’ve found a partner for life congrats
There is one thing missing in this video.Its Kangal.The dogs are not Kangal in this video.They are Anatolian Shepherd Dog.Once you see kangal you can understand the difference.
I don't buy dogs I rescue them... I think anyone that wants a dogs should go to a shelter and save a dog... And stop making people that breed dogs rich...
Kangal is happiest when he is with the sheep or domestic animal herds. he needs large field , manage his herd , protection his family from wild hunters very effectively.
So in this lifestyle he'll have a long life till 16-17 age. withouth working and training they living around 11-12 years. He never attacks directly and run behind of unwanted wild animals like other guard dogs. fistly he warns wild animals from enough distance with growls and strong barking like roaring ,withouth leaving his borders..than wait around fence or field border because he knows some wild animals creating attack plan like wolves. if they keep getting closer more Kangal attacks deathly without thinking that he might die. He is the best protector for family farms and villages.
Please also consider Akbas which is also Anatolian shepherd with the same charecteristic with Kangal and other Anatolian shepherd only it is white color, faster than most other Anatolian shepherd, clever, loyal and noble as others, they are lovely dogs, I like to have one very much as soon as I can!
Very informative

This dog is not a kangal. Just a hybrid. But it has some of its features.
If you are one of those very rare few people who actually need a guard dog for livestock protection or other genuinely important reasons and not as an accessory, the Malakli (albeit distantly related) is similar to the Kangal only bigger, stronger and more aggressive, one of the rare dog breed cases where defensive aggression is a desirable trait, wolves are no joke and Kangals probably appreciate the gargantuan Malakli standing by them on winter nights facing down packs of wolves.
malak; means droopy cheeks. malaklı; It means having saggy cheeks. The result of crossing the Kangal with other breeds of dogs. As a result, they are also a Kangal - Kangal hybrid. Kangal is the result of the natural mating of dog and wolf. His physical and behavioral traits come from his wolf genes. It is important not to lose it. As genes decrease, courage also decreases, and without courage, greatness is useless...
This dog seen in the video is a Kangal hybrid. Not a purebred dog. It saddens me that non-kangal dogs are referred to as coils for commercial concern.
How are they around babies/toddler's young kids
I like this kind of dog.
Kangals have an incredible intelligence that comes from their genetics. I can say that they are the only race that does not have sexual intercourse with their siblings. He doesn't need you to raise him. God gave him that intelligence and character. He will never harm children, he will protect his loved ones and even everything his loved ones have to the death, he dies himself, but he won't allow any harm to come to his loved ones. an amazing dog
Kangal & Akbaş and Aksaray Malaklısı Very strong and protective area dog breeds.
what about law enforcement K9? What the y make a good working dog in that area?
They are majestic dogs to be sure. But I would tell you that a very small minority of dog enthusiasts should ever consider owning one. First off they need a large piece of property to patrol and to thrive. Kangals are a livestock guardian breed. Farms or Ranches is an ideal environment for the kangals. And they require experienced dog owners to train and socialize these dogs in a proper and responsible manner.
I see in the Video no Dogs, who have the right typical Attributes by a Kangal.
The dogs you take in the Video are Turkish Sheperd mixes an Malakali( Turkish Mastiff).
Strong Warrior Dog !!!

Kangals are perfect
most of dogs in this video are not kangal. and we dont call them as Karabaş (Carabash). some of information is wrong.
Karabasc is a different breed. Similar in shape but significantly larger and heavier. They aren't as fast but they are the heavyweights in the flock guardian world.
Kangal defeating gray wolves is not a myth
This dog is NOT for beginners and people who live in small house.

Some of the dogs in this video are not pure Kangal breed. The nose bridge and eyes are dead giveaways. Generally speaking, Kangals are bigger than those shown in this video. Also, the skin thickness and skin elasticity of some of the dogs in this video are additional dead giveaways. But, the facts are good except male wolves in Turkey can be as big as 70kg. He appears to be quoting female wolves.
Anyone know any litters in the US that have Kangals?
Price of the kangal puppy
$1000-$3000
It depends lineage. If its mother or father has confirmed wolf kill, price grows. I have heard a german kennel paid 80.000 euro for a stud kangal. His seven generation were famous wolf killers (from mother and father sides)
700-1000€
Mine was $2900. The best money I have ever spent. He is the most amazing dog one could ask for.
My close friend has one, i couldn't enter the house with her being out and there are instances where she has gone for other visitors after they startled her or just came close. I was petrified of her, i let her sniff me nd sat next to her but what really did it was me sharing an onion bahdji with her. Now I can't go round without her pawing at the stair gate and then she will sit on me and lick me but i can grab her collar and calm her down. God forbid anyone ever enters that house when all the stair gates are open

@@DogCastTvEng Thank you SO MUCH!!!!!! I didn’t think I’d get a reply and I did!!!! I’m going to research now. The reason I was asking is because I love the breed first of all and I’ve been going back & forth whether or not my family should get a S.A.B. or a K.Kangal. I like the K.K. but he’s a bit skinny. So thanks agin from me & the family.
@@eddiecognac2653 dear Eddie, buy a Sarplaninac. The best LGD/shepherd dog, we have ever seen. Unknown and this is why uncorrupted by modern show craziness. You find several videos about them on this channel. Have good luck!
Say no more, I love this dog.
I cant see any kangals in this video !
Then what are these dogs?
what's there life span
sorry answer came up
Forget 7 factors it’s either yes or no to keep it simple sorry
Do not agree. Unfortunately we know a lot of kangals being ín shelters just because people did not know what and why they choose...
@@DogCastTvEng I knew what I was getting into before I saw Bella at the shelter n she is the only kangal I’ve seen at the shelter
@@Robert-f8w6x come to Estern Europe and you will see many more...
Kangal 750 psi woowww
I have a lab and a golden doodle. I badly want one of these but I feel I am not ready. I am going to get a male roman rottweiler first to prepare me for this monster
Do kangal survive in hot weather in India?
I live in melbourne I always wanted a pitbull oh a German shepherd until I came across a UA-cam channel of the Turkish kangal the wolf killer and they loyalty to there own family and they always alert ⚠️ they don't back down to WOLF and BEAR oh any other predictor in the wild... I WANT A KANGAL than any other dog now
I have a ksngal and he is not fully grown and is bigger than majority of those in this viddo
i would like to know what he looks like that’s a nice dog you must have
Same. My Kangal is weighs 95 lbs. And stands 26inches at 6 months old. Super smart and such a joy.
If your dog is a true Sivas Kangal it would have a registration number issued by the Turkish Government and taking them outside the country is illegal... No registration number its not a Kangal it might be a Anatolian mix breed but not a true Sivas Kangal one of the rarest breeds in existence.
They can learn to be good house dogs. If they love you and are outside and want to be with you while you are inside they can start eating a hole into your house so they can get close to you.
Malakliyi kangal diye satmislar jsj
My uncle has it in village, he runs 30 km range after wolves to kill or to die
Kurtları öldürmek ve avlamak marifet değil. Rahat bırakın hayvanları.
