Kangal Dogs: Debunking Common Misconceptions

[@oscarballard7911]

Our 4 y.o. male is a big hit with the folks in our community. He gets along well with all humans and 90 % of other animals. Ours is an incredible guardian on our acreage, watching over many other critters and his favorite lamb, our 3 1/2 y.o. granddaughter. Absolutely excellent family/guardian dog, for the highly experienced dog person with property and ag/herd animals.

We have a 150 pound male that is my wife's service dog. He is the most loving and gentle dog with both humans and animals especially small breed dogs.

Where can I get one of those beaded collars?

Wt!.. With out any training, I would trust a Kangal for my children more than myself. By the way, if you don't have a flock and a very large property, please don't buy a Kangal. They are not pets. And also, be sure you have a pure breed. By pure I mean not mixed with a dog breed with narrow forehead like Germany shepherd or Malloniase. Just don't! By pure I don't mean Kangal/Akbaş/Malakli/Anatolian Shepherd (this is a different breed) inbreeds. I have no idea but for example Kangal/Saint Bernard mix can be OK. but I would never trust a Kangal/Germany shepherd mix.
