Kangals! Five Massive Turkish Sheppard Dogs Came for Timo

This was not my best day. Never found my destination and had to run from a bunch of dogs. I have the greatest respect for the Kangals. But with Timo with me I am super scared of these untrained and often not socialized dogs. So when I see several come thundering down the road, I flee. This time we were lucky but I think my days of remote hiking with Timo are over. I simply don't want to hike with the risk of coming across Kangals with no place to hide.
The Kangal is a traditional working breed of Central Anatolia. The Kangal is used by shepherds for protection against wolves and other predators for centuries. A DNA study found that the dogs of Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan and Afghanistan are genetically closest to Kangal dogs, and the researchers propose that the breed may have been brought from Central Asia by the nomadic Turks.
