Livestock guarding and independent flock protection
Cuerpo y estructura
Kangal is a xlarge dog with companion background whose build should be read beside moderate movement demand, moderate trainability, and a grooming load of 2/5.
The Kangal is tied to Turkish livestock guardian traditions, where dogs were expected to live near stock, read threats, and make independent decisions. That history explains why the breed is calm, serious, territorial, and often unrealistic for casual urban off-leash expectations.
