History

Kangal dog, a purebred and sturdy dog with large bones. Mostly used as a flock guardian, protecting flocks of sheep from the predators like jackals, bears, wolves. The size of the dog has naturally developed as a result of its continued use in Turkey as a guardian. Kangal puppies are distinguished by large broadheads, black masks, drop ears and a curled tail which completes a distinctive silhouette. These kurdish dogs have a more extended body than their height. Over the last decade, it has emerged as one of the popular dog breeds that start with the letter "K".
