They were bred to fight wolf packs in order to protect their herds, they're also commonly known as wolfsbane around Anatolia. I honestly pity the potential intruder if you have one of these in your home, they are friend sized tanks with probably the only downside is that they eat a lot to maintain that body. Ps: Raikko is a bit small they can get much bigger than him some become almost the human size much like dire wolves
Yes!...they are one of those plants my sister would worry about when taking her husky on long walks through fields/woods..... another plant that she'd keep an eye out for was giant hogweed when clusters of it started appearing in her area ..
Yeah, one of my dog's favorite sniff spots is covered in them. So far, she just gets the seeds stuck in her coat. They give *me* more trouble because it turns out they can make my skin develop minor hives.
Visited the Napa CA dog park earlier this year, and the back half of the park had wall-to wall foxtails that were so dense that it looked as if they were actually being deliberately cultivated. We got the heck out.
Back in time while I was at the mid school age and on my street, there was a stray Kangal, we provided food and water everyday for years. He was one gigantic sweet girl. She was so friendly that I doubt that she could ever be dangerous, I as a middle schooler was able to sit on her and she would walk around me on top of her (I didnt know better back then sorry). So we thought he wasn't even capable of hurting anything despite the size. Until a lose or stray pitbull (Turkey is full of stray dogs all breeds) chased me when I was leaving the building. That day I realized her friendliness and calmness was a choice of hers. That calm, slow, and bulky girl turned into a protection machine with a swift shift to being very aggressive, agile and dominant. As a kid I was so proud and happy how she protected me. Now at the age of 34, I just salute all Kangal and their endless loyalty. I might be biased but these ones are easily the most dangerous while the safest; most loyal while the most independent dogs. We just don't deserve them. Now I have a used=to-be stray dog, rescued by me and living in the US with me that turned out to have %8 Kangal and %2 Wolf in her DNA despite how small she is. No other domesticated dog DNA was found in her, to my liking, she tries to herd me as I walk and even tho she is 25 pounds (11kg) little 9 months old dog, she seems to have the heart to protect me at all cost. Thanks for reminding me my childhood!
He's just a sweet and good boy when he's with the people he likes. But I'm sure when he's actually guarding "meek" is the last word anyone would use for him! These guys were developed over thousands of years to fight wolves, bears, and lions. Yes, lions, there were lions in Turkey until the 19th century. Mostly to drive them off, but I'm sure pairs or more fought lions to protect the flocks and their shepherds.
If you don't bring a dog with a bite force like that up to be "meek"... you are going to have a lot of problems. It's all in the training but on a personal level I wouldn't want a dog of that sort of breed in my home. Which is not to say that they shouldn't be an option.
@@jennypratt5345 --and that's OK for you. Personally, I'd rather have a Kangal than a crazy bitey Chihuahua or many other breeds. Kangals LOVE their families and would die to protect them. But of course they need specific training and they're not for people without livestock guardian dog experience. But you can't train them to be "meek" as it goes against thousands of years of breed instinct. They're not meek dogs. You train them to obey their owner and work with them.
I have a Turkish Kangal as my seeing eye dog. I need a dog that could take me around the farm with the cattle, sheep and goats. She is a great guide dog and a fantastic livestock guardian! They are extremely smart and need lots of socialization and an owner with experience with large sized dogs. Her name is Umay and she is 31 inches at the shoulder and weighs 140 lbs. and she does not eat treats !!!!! I’m so happy to see one so well behaved and trained well Thank you ❤
I think most Kangols are like him! They're pretty easy going,but extremely protective & are so powerful,it's easy to underestimate how big they are because they carry their weight so well!
@@afd1040 They're fantastic Dogs& certainly one of the Toughest,so they have to be in the right hands& in the correct environment.( On some Land where they can move around)
I just watched my neighbor's 3.5 year old un-neutered Kangal for the last three months. I have been grabbing his paws since he was a puppy and we have a super close bond. He is hands down the best dog I have ever been around. I took him for car rides, walks, and ice cream all the time. I miss having him around, he was so sweet and such a pleasure to watch and take car of.
What a handsome, well-behaved gentleman Raikko is. I'm glad his parents were paying attention and noticed that he was in pain, and that his vets were able to save him. We're glad you're still with us, big guy!
Kangals, well-socialized and raised as "family pets", are quite friendly, sometimes indifferent to other people and animals and act like "Teddy Bears" if they are away of their homestead and flock (family), who are under their constant guard. They instrinctively sense ill-intent or a threat. Oh boy, then watch the beauty turn into a beast! Still, they will just warn and intimidate. Attack is the last resort. If some person or animal succeeded in pushing a well-raised Kangal to this point, call 911, because they don't have a recall! Interestingly, as a nation, it is possible to see the same character traits in the Turks, who breed Kangals.
as a Turkish ex Kangal owner i can say these dogs are very calm, friendly, loves children and known as steel like rib cage instead jaw strength. in anatolia even 3 yo childs playingwith Kangal’s like horse riding. even child harms on them, they never attack back. they are bornly mature presences.
Man, that is a scary scenario- foxtails. That's when you really wish your animal friends could talk to you. Who knows how long that foxtail was in his nose. He's lucky that his nose started to bleed because that infection if left undetected for longer, could have easily gone to his brain. Wow. Raikkos is a beautiful, well-trained doggo. I hope the rest of his life is uneventful, happy, & healthy.
Definitely recommend looking up "ouch stranger" by a channel called What About Bunny! Bunny was trained to communicate using buttons and told her owner that she had a "stranger" in her paw after telling her "mad ouch", turns out it was a foxtail. Imagine if this dog could have said "ouch stranger nose". Teaching your animal friends to actually talk to you has some benefits 🤯
@@Maddiemoo246Those videos are one of the largest irritations to me, as I love animals. Bunny is a dog. Dogs don't use the same sentences we do, and they don't have the mental capacity to think of something in her paw that shouldn't be there as a 'stranger'. Her channel is the perfect demonstration of the effect where people desperately want to see patterns where they aren't. It's like Hans the counting horse. No wrong intentions, probably. Just misinformed people that want something to be true.
@@stickyrubb I'd recommend watching some of the interviews with the owner and looking into the studies that Bunny (as well as BilliSpeaks, the recently passed cat of a zoo veterinarian) have been a part of. While I do agree that often humans assign human emotions that aren't true, this communication method is taught with modelling the meaning of the words (eg. owner consistently says ouch if the cat scratches them or they hurt themselves on accident, cat learns to say ouch if it is hurt) and positive reinforcement. If you have a dive into their content you'll find it really interesting to see just what type of conversations happen.
@@Maddiemoo246 I understand your interest in the topic and there is still much to be learned about animal intelligence and behaviour, linked to linguistics or not. However, I don't think it's hard to see that these owners _want_ their pet's actions to make sense, so they (I'm sorry to say this) unconsciously anthropomorphise the things they hear their pet 'say' and make it make sense. It's like a psychic medium or something, but with good intentions, probably. I might look into the studies.
@@stickyrubb Fair analysis, at least regarding more abstract words like "stranger" to mean something unknown/unusual, but you can't deny that the "ouch, paw" part is the dog communicating a pain in its paw, it's not just merely random button presses, especially with the consistency that these animals talk about different subject matters. I do think that phrases like "love you" are used by the animals more just to elicit a positive toned verbal response from their owner ("aww i love you too, whos a good boy") with pats. But if a cat hears a dog barking outside and presses dog, noise, I don't think any stretch of interpretation is needed tbh, regardless of the owners intentions to make it make sense or not. That's my take on it anyway 🤷♀️
I have an anatolian shepherd otherwise known as a Kangal. Mine was a rescue from Turkey. They have incredible dispositions. Unreal guarding instincts combined with an easy going, friendly, stable personality. They are always assessing the situation but only go into guard dog mode when they feel they have to. Unlike some breeds that are quick to bite and have nervous personalities, Anatolians show utter confidence and good judgement when guarding. They always try to deter with their bark first and foremost. When inside dogs, the family becomes their "flock". They also have no problem adding people/animals to their flock. As soon as mine realizes new people are "friends" they automatically become part of his flock in his mind.
It seems that the ASD term, though AKC-recognized as a dog breed, is sometimes used to collectively describe multiple Turkish molosser breeds (such as Kangal, Akbash, or Aksaray mastiff) of different physical characteristics and temperaments, or dogs bred from a mix of such Turkish breeds.
I said the same thing. Was he even panting? All dogs usually do. Dog has confidence from day 1. Socialization and exposure are essential. There more a farm dog than condo. Looks great, but he snubbed the treats. Happen often?

Kangals have built in social cues since they are village dogs and have been bred and raised along side childeren if not trained otherwise they even follow and protect childeren if they see them alone
Raikko is one of the most beautiful dogs I’ve seen. I love his cute face and color. What an awesome dog to have gone through all of that. Makes me love him more.
What a good boy!Smart to start grooming when they are small. Many spend all their time on the job but ours came in the house and the shedding and amount of water their coats retain is no joke! He is a wonderful Kangal dog ambassador ❤
Such a sweet, well-mannered pupper! Kudos to his owners for doing so well in his socialization and starting early with having him professionally groomed! So glad he made it through his medical ordeal, and I hope he will be fully recovered very soon! He deserves all the treats (that he likes) ❤
He is just the goodest boi ever! So sad that he’s been so ill though. I’m pleased he’s on the mend. I’m sure that lovely bath and groom will have helped.
oh my goodness he looks so derpy with that big noggin 😭😭😭 what a sweetheart !! that blow dry slowmo lmao best of luck in recovery raiko ! that must’ve been so scary for him n his pup parents ,, i’m glad he’s doing better 🫶
Raikkos owners have done a fantastic job socializing him. as someone with an ASD, the Kangals cousin it warms my heart to see the care the owners took to socialize him and make him agreeable to going to the groomers. i didn't say comfortable but he was at least agreeable to it. beautiful work with him!!
I love this dog. Reminds me of an Anatolian Shepard I knew, also a livestock dog from Turkey. Whenever I visited, he would come running to see me. RIP Justin, an intelligent, fiercely brave and loyal dog who protected a large cat colony from coyotes. I'm so happy Raikko is better now.
Yes, RIP Justin. Anatolian Shepherds r a force to be reckoned with. They take their jobs very seriously as that is what they were bred for. In Turkey their lineage goes back millenia, and their protective instincts as guardian dogs are unmatched. They r so fiercely loyal to their people and the herds of animals entrusted to them
His owners vigilance and quick action absolutely saved his life, and now that they’re bringing him back and sharing his story, they’re helping others to keep their pups safe.
From cute little baby to most handsome, dapper gentleman. Such a sweet dog! ♥ And I am SO glad he survived surgery and is doing better now. Poor dog. He has the sweetest temperament.
Some livestock guardian dogs have their ears clipped so that they don’t get ripped off by a predator. Mine has her ears intact and we do have to clean them every other day if she gets gunk in them and makes her shake her head
Thank you for clarifying...didn't know it was a plant and I'm sure my face reflected that I thought you meant a fox's tail! This big boy looks absolutely majestic. So thankful this handsome fellow pulled through!
I remember you giving him a wash when he was a baby , He is so lovely and well mannered this shows his mum and dad are doing the best job. Oh what scented spray did he have at the end to make him smell beautiful xxx
To think he had that in his nose, it hurts me just thinking about it. I can’t imagine the pain he went through, WOW! I’m so glad you’re still with us Raikko!!
What a handsome boy Raikko is, and he did so well during grooming. Thanks Vanessa & staff @ Girl With The Dogs for the work you do for pets like Raikko. You're awesome. 😁🇨🇦
Mine is 130 lbs. She's an Anatolian mix, but who knows, the breed testers aren't specific enough. We're lucky we got the Anatolian listing, her littermate came up 100% Great Pyrenees on Wisdom Panel. (They are obviously not 100% Great Pyrenees. They're tan, for one thing.) The DNA testings aren't very good with LGDs.
Loving mine! I kept chows & boxers for decades so this has been my first venture into LGD guardianship, and I must say she's the perfect fit for my little farm/country life. Excellent companion and worker.

I'm so happy Raikko is ok! What a sweet, well-mannered boy. It shows how much work his parents have put into his socialization ❤
Hi 👋
What a good boy!Smart to start grooming when they are small. Many spend all their time on the job but ours came in the house and the shedding and amount of water their coats retain is no joke! He is a wonderful Kangal dog ambassador ❤
What a beautiful dog! He looks worn out from the medical experience. It might take time for him to regain his energy. Poor baby!❤
Such a sweet, well-mannered pupper! Kudos to his owners for doing so well in his socialization and starting early with having him professionally groomed! So glad he made it through his medical ordeal, and I hope he will be fully recovered very soon! He deserves all the treats (that he likes) ❤
Such a beautiful dog,glad to hear he is on the mend😊
So, so happy he made it! He's beautiful & such a good boy! ❤
He looks like the goodest boy. So glad he made it through that medical horror
What a beautiful colouring ❤
As a Turkish woman, I have such a soft spot in my heart for Kangals. I love hanging out with them when I go to Türkiye. 💞
Thembs majestic
"I have such a soft spot in my heart for Kangals"
All Turks, who love his flag, history... feels the same like you.

What a good boy ❤ so glad he got help and is going to be okay!
That's a crazy recovery story and I'm glad the medical team was able to help him.
What an absolute legend of a doggie! Very refined taste in treats.
This breed is next level, such majestic loyal protectors of the weak.
He is just the goodest boi ever! So sad that he’s been so ill though. I’m pleased he’s on the mend. I’m sure that lovely bath and groom will have helped.
Raikko looks amazing and was so calm. So glad he was saved and did pull through!
Such a well trained dog. Also, loved the matching headwear 😂 🩷
Cutest face ive ever seen. Such a gentleman.
Kangal asil bir hayvandır
He was such a good boy! He has such an expressive face. Hope he gets back to normal soon. 🤗
oh my goodness he looks so derpy with that big noggin 😭😭😭 what a sweetheart !! that blow dry slowmo lmao
best of luck in recovery raiko ! that must’ve been so scary for him n his pup parents ,, i’m glad he’s doing better 🫶
Raikkos owners have done a fantastic job socializing him. as someone with an ASD, the Kangals cousin it warms my heart to see the care the owners took to socialize him and make him agreeable to going to the groomers. i didn't say comfortable but he was at least agreeable to it. beautiful work with him!!
I love this dog. Reminds me of an Anatolian Shepard I knew, also a livestock dog from Turkey. Whenever I visited, he would come running to see me. RIP Justin, an intelligent, fiercely brave and loyal dog who protected a large cat colony from coyotes. I'm so happy Raikko is better now.
They are very similar Kangals are bigger boned
If you like Anatolians, check out RavenTree Ranch. They have 3 and they’re so cute! 😊
Yes, RIP Justin. Anatolian Shepherds r a force to be reckoned with. They take their jobs very seriously as that is what they were bred for. In Turkey their lineage goes back millenia, and their protective instincts as guardian dogs are unmatched. They r so fiercely loyal to their people and the herds of animals entrusted to them
im sorry for your loss but why did you name a kangal justin? 😭😭😭
It's very simple kangal is an Anatolian shepherd but not all anatolian shepherds are kangals.
What a good boy. He is beautiful, I’m so glad he is on the mend.
Talk about the strong & silent type. Good man, Raiko. You’re beautiful on the outside but your inner beauty shines through. ❤
Hello there
Beautiful dog! He is a responsibility and a pet .
He’s gorgeous! His coloring makes him look like a spirit wolf. How sad to hear his story but I am so glad he is well!
What a beautiful dog! I enjoy watching your patience!
He's so lucky his owners took quick action! Poor baby must have been in so much pain 😞
His owners vigilance and quick action absolutely saved his life, and now that they’re bringing him back and sharing his story, they’re helping others to keep their pups safe.
They are the best family dogs too. Love children above n beyond
I had mine for 12 years until he crossed the bridge in May of this year. Wonderful breed for a well seasoned dog owner.
❤
So sorry for your loss♥️🐕
Sorry for your 😢
sorry for your loss mam.
What a handsome boy! And so well behaved!
Raikko is STILL adorable. I'm very happy to hear that made it through that ordeal. Nature truly can be a Mother sometimes ;)
From cute little baby to most handsome, dapper gentleman. Such a sweet dog! ♥ And I am SO glad he survived surgery and is doing better now. Poor dog. He has the sweetest temperament.
Beautiful pup. Glad he's recovering well and they didn't cut his ears.
Really? I've never seen one with clipped ears.
I had a neighbor who had one of this breed who had clipped ears. Given how many coyotes that boy fought, I don't blame them for that decision.
@@karenwilliams8963 mutilating a dogs ears for any reason is pointless.
@@SagebrushRambles not when the coyotes already mutilated them
Some livestock guardian dogs have their ears clipped so that they don’t get ripped off by a predator. Mine has her ears intact and we do have to clean them every other day if she gets gunk in them and makes her shake her head
He's so precious. Im so happy he was able to get help in time, poor darlin🌸💚🌸💚🌸
Poor big baby. Glad he's on the mend. He's so handsome and well-behaved!
Thank you for clarifying...didn't know it was a plant and I'm sure my face reflected that I thought you meant a fox's tail! This big boy looks absolutely majestic. So thankful this handsome fellow pulled through!
I remember you giving him a wash when he was a baby , He is so lovely and well mannered this shows his mum and dad are doing the best job. Oh what scented spray did he have at the end to make him smell beautiful xxx
Thank goodness this fur baby giant has manners❤❤❤
I'm so glad he is on the mend. He seems so kind❤
You just love your clients ao much. Love watching and listening to you.
Glad he is okay, such a gentle well behaved cute boy.
What a sweet and wonderful man. Thank you to the wonderful vet staff that saved his life! The world is better with this sweet boy in it.
He's adorable.😊 handsome boy. Lovely temperament. He's definitely well trained and loved.
Bless his heart: I am so glad he's recovering!
what a gorgeous pooch such nice manners too raikko is a certified good boy ❤
The gentle giant.❤ So sweet and beautiful. ❤
Only a 3:35 second video I thought something had gone wrong. But he was the sweetest and most calm of all. What a gentle giant.
To think he had that in his nose, it hurts me just thinking about it. I can’t imagine the pain he went through, WOW! I’m so glad you’re still with us Raikko!!
What a handsome boy Raikko is, and he did so well during grooming. Thanks Vanessa & staff @ Girl With The Dogs for the work you do for pets like Raikko. You're awesome. 😁🇨🇦
What a unique dog. I have never seen anything quite like him before.
Vanessa: "You sprayed my whole face!"
Raikko: "Hey, you started it!"
What a handsome and well-behaved boy. I’m glad he’s on the mend and will start to gain a little weight back!
The head tilt after the “ear cleaning” is the content I’m here for
Omg! Head tilts - plural 😮🥰🥰🥰
I love how he was watching you trim your nails like he was supervising. 😂
Hey there
What a gentleman
Hi there
Such a beautiful pupper. Im glad he's still here with us
He seems to be very well socialized.
Such a beautiful floof.
The Kangal breed is one of my favourites among the heardwatchers.
Hello 🤗
Once again, I’m in love!❤
So grateful he is okay. What a handsome boy!
Hello 👋
So glad this guy is ok, he’s a beautiful boy.
This is one of the most powerful dog breeds on earth. But this dog has a really good disposition. A big teddy bear.
Such a well-behaved boy!! And I'm so glad he pulled through, eugh!
Poor guy that sounds like an ordeal, I'm glad he's recovering well.
He grew into his paws! Thank goodness for his owners socializing him, and he clearly likes and trusts you. Glad he survived that scare!
A gentle giant. Thank goodness he survived his surgery.
Hi Vanessa, what a beautiful dog, I enjoyed watching this video. Love Katherine xoxo
I have a kangal mix but she's much tinier at 85 lbs, they're such sweet dogs!! 🥰💚💙💜
Mine is 130 lbs. She's an Anatolian mix, but who knows, the breed testers aren't specific enough. We're lucky we got the Anatolian listing, her littermate came up 100% Great Pyrenees on Wisdom Panel. (They are obviously not 100% Great Pyrenees. They're tan, for one thing.) The DNA testings aren't very good with LGDs.
Loving mine! I kept chows & boxers for decades so this has been my first venture into LGD guardianship, and I must say she's the perfect fit for my little farm/country life. Excellent companion and worker.
Kangallar muhteşem köpeklerdir. Anadoluya adapte olmuşlar ve Türklerin en sevdiği köpek türü ve dostu olmuşlardır
