KANGAL! A name well known to the people of Turkey! Its very name evokes the romance and legendary aura of this land so steeped in history. This ancient breed springs forth like a lion from its epicenter - the Kangal District - a region in east central Turkey located in what is known as the Anti-Taurus. While Turkey has more than one indigenous dog breed, the Kangal is the most famous of them all. This breed's status is manifested by its portrait on a national Turkish postage stamp. If any dog breed can be characterized as the national dog of Turkey, that breed is the Kangal Dog. Standing a minimum of 30 inches (dogs) at the withers and weighing an average 120 pounds, the Kangal Dog is a strongly-built, magnificent dog distinguished by its black face and ears. The short, soft body coat ranges from light dun to steel grey in color and is usually accented with a white chest blaze and white stockings on the feet and legs. Turkish shepherds frequently crop the ears close to the skull, thereby enhancing its leonine appearance. When equipped with the traditional spiked, iron collar around its neck, the Kangal Dog, in its native land, projects an intimidating and powerful image.

  • The dog is called the Sivas kangal for a reason, I'm in the U.S but I like to educate myself, all that the kurds do is use them for fighting.

  • @GulsenPisces im from sivas you fucking idiot. sivas is Turkish city. and %90 of the population are Turks , rest are circassians: you fucking kurdish slut:!

  • Kangals are an amazing breed of dog. The can be very aggressive towards people. I was bite by a 150lb male and ended up with 75 stitches.

  • Actualy u can get a turkish kangal or u can get tge kurdish kungal. There both the same but both different names due 2 the statuses of the areas

  • @GulsenPisces You dirty, unhygienic Kurd. Go back to living in caves and under stones you mug. Sivas is a Turkish province. The Kangal was brought to Turkey by The Turks 1000's of years ago. You poor soul, i feel sorry for you in a way. Mainly because you are pathetic and stupid. May god help you.

  • @Kamturk1 shut up you oppressor.
