ALL ABOUT THE KANGAL DOG: THE FINEST GUARDIAN DOG

[@myperfectlyimperfectgarden7233]

We live in the country and people think that it's okay to drop off their dogs when they don't want them anymore. Last summer a man in a big white Denali dropped off the most beautiful Kangal. She chased the car for miles. Our neighbor saw it, and told us about it. We already had 4 dogs, but figured we could find a rescue for her. She finally just walked on to our property one evening after we had spent hours looking for her. She had been on her own for 15 days and was really skinny. She is the best dog we have ever had. So sweet! It has taken her a long time to trust but she is finally warming up to us. I would have paid thousands for this amazing dog. We adore her.

[@soldierscotty1959]

Same story! Someone dumped a beautiful white kangle on our doorstep. She was malnourished. And badly mistreated! She still has nightmares. She trusted my wife at first. But not me. That tells me a man beat her! If I tried to touch her, she flinched. I won her over with patience and love. She greets me when I come home. Jumps up on her hind legs and puts her pawpaws on my shoulders. She plays with me and gets hugs. She has a forever home!

My friend has a kangal here in the UK, he's 14yr old still incredibly athletic, once he gets to know you and accepts you he's fine but not many have made it onto his 'herd list'. He's fantastic with kids, calm, vigilant, protective, never really switches off, a majestic intelligent dog who I always feel looks through you, a wiser dog I've yet to find. Truly a remarkable breed.

Yeah and shepherds do not train these dogs. They go with the herds after growing up to a certain point and by looking up to the older ones they learn what to do but even tho there aren't any older dogs around, they somehow know what you expect from them and what they need to do . It is a natural guardian dog breed. They always know what they need to do.

I had two kangals when I was child, beautiful, respectful, strong, harmonic and thankfull dogs. They love children and very very very protective.

[@onuncukoy3404]

As a Turk, I liked the video very much. I would like to point out that; Kangal dog does not need any special training. He learns everything from other older dogs. Even if he doesn't learn, he instinctively knows what to do. Therefore, it does not harm newborn baby animals. On the contrary, he protects them more carefully. In my country, it is often heard that a Kangal dog, who keeps watch for days next to a sheep that is left behind the herd because it has given birth, brings the sheep home healthy. Finally, let me say this: Kangal dog is a guardian angel for the human/animal on the "herd list". It is a nightmare for those who think of harming them.

[@openrangelivestockguarddog4041]

For those considering purchasing a Kangal for use on a small hobby farm or small homestead, please consider the following. Kangals have spent millennia being culled for open range predator protection by nomadic herding cultures where the flock migrates throughout the season. The dogs are not genetically coded to stay stationary, in a very small area comparitively speaking. Kangals are well known for large patrol areas on the outside of your livestock. There are exceptions but this breed seeks out predators to displace in ever widening circles depending on terrain and predator density. There are inside the flock type dogs that remain in the flock, perimeter dogs that work the edges of the flock out to a quarter mile or so, and roamers rangers that have wide patrol areas outside of the flock displacing predators up to five miles out. In my experience the Kangal most often is in the roamer ranger group. LGD'S are bred to be canine agressive to varying degrees as the PRIMARY PREDATORS ARE CANINES. If you are in an area where dogs pass by your property you are going to have problems. If you fail to contain your dog and it goes onto other people's property it may end up getting shot, or you may end up in court. Research your breeds, observe the parents, their previous offspring, SPEND TIME learning what breed is more suitable for your environment. You will save a lot of trouble for both yourself and the dog.

[@fructosecornsyrup5759]

You can also socialize the dog at a very early age so it doesn't attack other dogs randomly.

[@TheCiggoc]

Kangals know neighbours, they will know the whole willage better than you, and also they will know whos a good and bad person for you too. these dogs are extremely special creatures

[@simonhoare3694]

Excellent post it's true that many people don't take the millennia old genetic behavioural programming in these protection breeds. I personally wouldn't have a kangal without animals to protect and at least ten acres to patrol. Whilst some may adapt to a domestic life today they are not to be bred from unless the genetic printing is preserved. This can only really be done by keeping the breed doing as authentic a job as possible daily or the instincts to guard will fade in just a few generations.. Great post again..

This also happend when I was fishing with my dad in Turkey and we saw a big herd of goats with a farmer and a kangal. The kangal came running to me and he was circling me. My dad was like just put your fishing pole down, because it thinks that you want to play. I put it down and it worked. He got back to work with his herd.

We also have a boxer and 4 cats. We live on less than 2 acres in the Rocky Mountains and have a lot of wildlife. If I don't give him a 'job', work with him, or let him out to play with the big dogs, he will entertain himself. So smart, so sweet, and so attentive. He keeps a tally on all the pets. Question: Why do people argue over Kangal being an Antolian dog? He was on lead through a craft fair in a college town. Totally mellow and everyone passing made comments and wanted to pet him. Why do people want to challenge me on telling them he is a Kangal/Pyranees guardian dog? Nobody argued that he has Mastiff in his blood, but his dad is 100% Kangal and his grandpa lives in Turkey.

I rescued a "Mastiff" puppy once....I've had a few Mastiffs....kinda know how they typically act.... Don't use negative reinforcement training ever.....and I got this dog when it was maybe 3 months old. She didn't exactly look pure bred but who cares it was a rescue. The people were alarmed at how quickly she was growing and they were older. I don't believe they beat her or anything. Anyway....I took her everywhere, trained her and because of her size....and her super high aggression to ANYONE who walk too quickly towards my wife(aside from me)...I sent her to a private trainer. Her fur never stopped at Mastiff length and tail sorta curled...She was the most protective dog I have ever had in my life. She was super badass, smart and vigilant. Vigilant only comes close to discribing it though. I could simply say "watch em" and that was it. If they moved too quickly she'd let em know. All that said....she was lovable to me and my two young kids. I would take another any time. Used to rate Old English Mastiffs as my fav but the Kengal is the bees knees. That training was obedience training btw not gaurd, defense or anything like that. She came that way. At 140 pounds I wanted my wife to feel comfortable and confident while handling her. If you want one of these. You better treat it right. There ain't no white picket fence cute and cuddly in these dogs. These are working dogs. They demand the level of respect anyone working would. Don't do dumb shit with em. They are almost perfect.

[@SpudFlier]

According to one article I read most LGD's were bred to look like the sheep there were protecting so they couldn't easily be spotted in the group.This made it harder for predators to plan attacks on flocks. Kangals were bred to look like the fawn colored sheep with black faces (Akkaraman Sheep were one fawn colored breed used in Turkey) while dogs like Akbash were bred to protect white sheep (Kivircik). Certain Sheep were suited better for some regions with certain climates and terrain while others sheep were better suited for other regions with different climate so different kinds of dogs were needed for each region and although most all Turkish LGD's share many common bloodlines they also had distinct differences mostly in color but also in size depending on terrain and etc of the regions they were located. Pretty interesting Article.

That's true they need space to roam, or good, long hikes everyday in nature. Correction: they have been bred not for hundreds of years but for approximately 6000 years. Actual name is Anatolian Shepherd. They are a perfect guard dogs, but when brought up in a right way ( calm, assertive and kind yet decisive leader) they are never aggressive, or violent. They are very loving and loyal to their family/owner, respectful yet shy with others, ferocious with true predators. The good thing is , they don't need an extra training on protection skills. They becoming guard dogs out of their own nature while growing up, and learning to discern who is who and what is what, and how to act when it's needed. Amazing intelligence!

Kangals are different than Anatolians. I have both, the Kangal is much more aggressive than the Anatolian. Bigger , more independent. Mine guard cattle and chickens.

[@joeallen5808]

Yes sir you are correct they are two different breeds but the kennel club of tirkey has now labels them both as the same now that interbreeding of the two breeds breeds

[@stu_mmkg]

Kangals are beautiful dogs, I hope one day to have enough land to get one of these giants

[@lesliejones8817]

We adopted a dog from a rescue they didn't know the breed but as she is getting older we think she might be a anatolian shepherd mix. She looks so much them.

Great content, why is it that the Kangals we see in the US never really look like the Kangals in Turkey. The ones we see in the US always looks smaller, head not as big or wide, they look a lot less capable and intimidating than the ones we see from Turkey. They have some ferocious huge ones out there.

[@neilmurray7842]

Poteluz The dogs you see in these videos from Turkey very rarely show Sivas Kangals they are Malak dogs and Boz Shepherds cross bred for size ...

[@MerdoKhan1905]

Also notice that most shepherd Kangals in Turkey and other regions with big predators hhave their ears cut. So that also gives a different look. Also if these dogs in the video stands up and shows her teeth you would be surprised. But i understand your point.

[@MY-mp6bq]

Poteluz the kangals in this video are more than average. Its not about size, and they look small next to livestock. Its about training and courage. These are more than capable.

[@cumhurciviloglu6141]

Poteluz I had seen on TV in Turkey years ago a news about one kangal which weights 235 lb or 245 lb I cannot be sure right now but it was definetely more than 220 lb I remember. Also as I know their shoulder length may reach up to 1 meter. The apperance difference is I think about the climate. The climate that kangals live in Turkey is acctually quite rough. It is a very cold area and high from the sea. When you take them to different part of Turkey they loose their shape and features also..

[@HalitCinar]

We have bigger ones here in Turkey but sheperds give more importance here to athletic and protecting capacity of dogs (at least as much as size).

[@Chris_and_Mishka]

Great video please keep going! Documentary TV is by far the best youtube channel for dog lovers!

[@tactickleshtooper1753]

Dogumentary TV >>> Thank you for the excellent video on the "Kangal" dog native to Turkey. I hope that you might also consider introducing and covering an equally exquisite large-breed guardian dog called the "Akbaş (transliterated into English as 'Akbash'). Many thanks for your excellently-produced informative videos.

[@md-ln4fp]

I love that swagging tail.

[@PepperBuddyRosie12]

Excellent! Very informative

[@SaladinGucman]

Man those kangals... used to chase our car when we entered the village back in Turkey 🇹🇷 . Really great dogs and companions for the owners.
