Origin of the Kangal Dog

In researching an ideal guardian for my farm, I discovered the magnificent Kangal Dog. The Kangal Dog has routes back to the 12th century where shepherds in Turkey bred the giant dog to protect their huge herds of Sheep.

When I say giant, I mean giant! Some can grow to over 145lbs (65KGs). It is said that two Kangal dogs are able to protect herds of over 200 sheep; pretty impressive! Turkish Shepherds bred the dog for over 800 years harnessing their natural size and breeding a strong temperament. They will show huge loyalty and guardianship over their master, family and flock and major hostility towards all potential predators.
