The Kangal Dog is a large canine originally bred in Turkey as a working dog to help farmers herd sheep and guard livestock. This lovable and loyal canine has then evolved into a loyal companion among many owners. Kangal Shepherd Dogs are very strong and courageous and people who have a semi-conscious fear of large breeds will unlikely be able to deal with them. It must be said that these large but adorable dogs are not as uncontrollably aggressive and merciless as you can imagine them to be. The Kangal Shepherd Dog , often simply referred to as the " Kangal ," is a large, powerful, and highly skilled flock guardian from the Anatolian region of Turkey. Historically, the Kangal was developed to protect livestock, particularly sheep, from predators such as wolves, jackals, and even bears. The Kangal Shepherd Dog is one of the most powerful and loyal breeds in the world. Originating from Turkey, this giant dog breed has been used for centuries as a livestock guardian dog, protecting sheep and goats from wolves and other threats.
