I have an 8 yr old female kangal. She’s the first dog I think I’ve truly loved. She’s stubborn, inscrutable, gentle and loves children. Her grandpa was from Turkey. What a bark she has!!
Where can I get em in the USA?
He's a Life Stock Guardian Dog. He's not a typical pet dog.
We have 14 livestock working Kangals. Eleven are intact females, two are castrated males, and one intact male. They are a fantastic team. I cannot imagine Kangals not being free to run over acres and do their job. We have bred them, and we help other livestock people introduce their pups from us.
These dogs are not food motivated. Their job is far more important than food.
They are fantastic family dogs as working dogs. They are totally trustworthy with our guests, especially with little ones. They are great with our other dogs Vizslas, Dobermans, German Shepherds. They insist on respect and calmness.
Our dogs get to do their work, get lots of exercise.
At 15 months they are still ‘pups’. At 2 years of age they change. They get much more confident. At 3 years they are very confident. They are now very powerful and full grown. Our dogs are extremely gentle with us, yet take on predators like Jaguars. They do not tolerate stupid dog behavior, or stupid people behavior.
I can break up a fight with 100lb Doberman & German Shepherds. I will not try to break up a Kangal fight. I have seen our dogs dominate 40-80 lb pitbulls in seconds. I have also heard and within minutes seen results of them terminating a livestock predator of similar size. I have seen them kill large snakes. They are smart, watchful, and extremely fast.
Though we trust our dogs totally, we know that any one of them could take us down very quickly.
Only very experienced large dog people should have these dogs.

Where can ibuy these in the USA?
They can adapt to different environments to a degree but their true nature is to be a working dog and guard livestock.
When I first got Anatolians years ago I didn't realize how much they needed and desired a job until I got livestock and saw how much more content they were out with the sheep/goats with job to do. They love going on their walks in the mountains and etc but are always happy to get back to their "job".
It is where their true nature comes out as they are a primal breed and having been guarding livestock for literally thousands of years.
If someone wants a guardian dog that can visit dog parks esp off leash , there are many breeds better suited. Once they reach maturity (can be 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 years) the change in their guarding instincts can be dramatic and a true Kangal , Anatolian, Akbash, Boz etc… can be a liability at such places. If they go there enough they will identify it as their territory and dominate other dogs.
I used to work with rescue for these type dogs and many end up in shelters getting euthanized because they are becoming more popular and people try and raise them to be what they were never intended and in the end simply can't handle them even after professional training. They are not vicious but are serious dogs and can be a threat to other dogs in the wrong circumstances.
Great video! I’ve owned only one Kangal and I can tell you for certainty that they are fantastic dogs! Kangals make wonderful family dogs however from my experience they prefer to be outside dogs roaming the fence line keeping guard on the property. A lot of training is required to let them off the leash. I have Cain Corsos and Presa Canarios and they don’t require as much training to walk off leash as a kangal does. I’ve never owned a breed as independent as the kangal. Great pet, great protector! Love this breed!
How does this breed do with long walks / hiking ? Do you know at all? 2-5 miles.
@@bc5208 haven't been on walks that long but he loved 1 mile long walks. My Kangals diet was 100% kibble, expensive kibble, and he had lots of energy when out on walks or just running in the field. I hear dogs that are on a raw diet have even more energy.
@@lf3566 Okay awesome I really appreciate the reply. Any brand suggestions for the kibble? I don’t have any issue paying for high quality feed.
@@bc5208 “endurance plus”
I personally would NEVER let my Kangals off leash in public. They’re bred to think for themselves and no matter how much training they will ultimately decide for themselves.
I absolutely love this!! So many videos of people just showing a bloody or aggressive Kangal. They're so much more and they never show the real world sweet side of them. Keep up the great work.
My 124 pound Anatolian doesn’t like alpha males, she has pinned several alpha male German Shepard’s.
At the dog park, she adopts the smaller dogs and does’t like other dogs picking on them.
When roaming/walking outside of his home, the Kangal instinctively becomes the guard dog in the process of "claiming" the area. When called, he will hear and acknowledge you but his "duty" as a working dog is a higher priority for him and will respond after he feels he has the area secured, is often confused with independence although they are highly independent in doing their jobs and will go about it in their own way ignoring instructions or seem to be ignoring you but that is due to their confidence in their own abilities.
They can be very sensitive emotionally and have known to sulk in child like manner from time to time to their owners that usually doesnt last too long.
Well said.
I had to subscribe,i have a 7 yr old male anatolian and you are definatly spot on with their behavior
Thanks for your good wishes. Its good to see Ash become a handsome young boy. I think there is a half year ahead of you. When he is two years old, his extreme behaviours will decrease. But his free character will of course remain. Your environment is fantastic, I dont think he will have any problem. Take care of yourselvs.
I’m having the same problem with my 10 month old. He’s really good walking away, but as soon as we turn to go back it’s game on. So now the lease goes on before we turn back. Then he’ll just sit down and refuse to move. At 135lbs it’s hard to get him moving.
He’s a gentle giant, super good with dogs of all sizes. He matches the level of play with the other dogs. If they’re gentle so is he. If they’re rough he matches the play.
Ash looks great! I noticed he is pulling. We use prong collar to prevent that. He still pulls when he is excited or just starting the walk.Anybody can walk him easily with a prong collar and it is a day and night difference. I jest added a short video from yesterday and today. We still let him to explore with a long leash. He also can walk side by side with a short leash when crossing a street. Enjoy the walks!
A fair and a just ruler, beautiful expression.
Very useful video thanks!
Can completely relate, got a Caucasian rescue at 9months @90lbs he just turned 18 months @150lbs and for these big dogs you HAVE to put the work in. Eventually he will be a full team player but at his age he still has a lot of wanderlust, may have been different if we got him as a puppy. Luckily this aint our first doggy go round.
Beautiful dog. Have become fascinated with Kangals as a LGD.
I enjoy all of your videos. As I mentioned will like to see any videos with the e coller. Thank you for all the time you put in !!!
Thanks for the video! Great Ash! I own the male Kangal dog. He is 3,5 y.o., absolutely awesome!! Very smart, understand a lot of commands, phrases and voice, gentle, stable behaviour and massive paws:) He is friendly to other dogs but still viewing his perimeter. He is my love. I don't know any troubles with him.
My Bella is a year old, and learning from her big brother Kong(black lab) how to be a bit lazy. She still breaks out of the yard to play with the neighbor's dogs, but she comes back when I use the secret word COOKIE. She's a good girl. I can tell when she's about to go ballistic, and defuse the situation as fast as possible before anyone gets hurt.
How much can you expect to pay for one.. and do they like the water?
Thanks my brother🖤🖤👏👏
People train dogs but Kangals train people😉
Beautiful dog.
I own a 3month old kangle love this dog I have had giant breads. You are 💯 right about there mental. Facts
I can relate to everything in this video as I have a 14 month Kangal
Where in the USA can u get one?
A pure breed Kangal
Mine is 2.5 years old female. I had to get her fixed because too many dogs were coming by and she would jump the fence to get some action. I live on a farm, she is a great guardian. We are slowing getting rid of our dairy goats so we can travel more. It has been challenging to get her in the car, we are getting there though. She is also working on walking on a leash, which is something she does not want to do. They are insanely fast and so muscular.
We have 14. Eleven of these are intact related females. They range in age from 9 months to 6 years. We specifically have intact but neutered males to satisfy the girls without getting puppies.
Beautiful dog 🎉
My Anatolian is unpredictable when around dogs and people. For some reason she is aggressive towards some people. Especially if they approach with a crowd of people or without proper introduction. Best I can figure is she is jealous of me being around other women.
thanks for sharing
Mine, at 27 months does incredibly well with 90&, of other dogs, but he will not tolerate being another dog being aggressive towards him. He's known as a Gentleman in our immediate rural area, but I will not trust him off leash and on his own. He's a Kangal, meaning highly independent, captivated by sight and, if necessary, very explosive.
I had a kangal, he passed away last year. Everything you say in this video is true. My next dog will also be a kangal. Because they are beautiful dogs.
I like this. These are real dogs. Socialization is key but they stay dominant dogs. That adolescent fear period is really critical to get it right. If they don’t understand very much fear aggression is the worst to deal with from being not predictable.
It’s 1000 hours of nagging and shutting down punky behavior when it’s simmering. About year three they grow a brain. They need a person to hang out with for at least 15 hours a day-or maybe live at a farm.
It’s a dominant, amicable dog. But you have to calmly guide that aggression. Untouched they want to keep a border and run off anything that comes by.
Ash is looking great, the recall is an issue but in him runs the blood of his ancestors whom are used to and need to run for miles everyday and be part of nature, a compromise of longer walks and treats might work but this need for freedom is a Kangal trait, other dogs maybe abusive towards him because he is a powerful alpha and that will bother them, thank you for your kind message, all the best wishes from Türkey.
Thank you for the support. Hope you and your family are well with all that has happened. We are doing around 10 -12 km hikes and likely this year we wi be putting him more into a free roam guardian role.
@@ashthekangal we're good, thanks for asking, 10 - 12 km hikes are plenty, letting him roam freely without supervision in today's world is dangerous as he is still inexperienced, take care.
@@ashthekangal I absolutely love your content and updates. I am beyond grateful for you educating us on this beautiful dog. I am curious though, I was messaging back and forth with this Craig gentlemen on how to get a Kangal, and his messages disappeared. Do you know what happened by any chance?
@@joshjohnson6885 I dont know what happened to the comment thread.
I have included @craigdawson3450 here so perhaps he can share his answer about where to get one for you again
@@ashthekangal thank you. Where did you get ash? I can’t say it enough. I love your guises story and the updates we get
Wow
Hi, I had a similar problem with my rottweiler. What I did to fix the issue was that I started a game with him when I started running and called him while I ran, and he would just run next to me. After a couple of mins, I will reward the behavior with affection, and I put the leash back on and off we go 😅
You might try a harness that clips in the front. I use it on my Husky Shepard mix.
En underbar hund!💛💙
I have a female. Dont know how old she is. I assume shes 8.
She thinks shes an alpha dog. But i notice that if the dogs submit to het its all good. If one doesnt..shes on gaurd..waiting for a wrong move to be made.
She has learned i can walk well and she rarley pulls me. She helps me down the stairs or up out of a chair.
I just love her tho shes a pushy dog.
Have a few stories.
She weighs 130lbs. Not at all fat but shes tall.
I would live another but i cant do that potty training thing.
Its so hard on me.
1 thing i think is great..shes so big and tall i font have to bed over to pet her!
Your dog looks great and has a caring owner...wonderful!!
I subbed.💕
Thank you very much for sharing that. She sounds like a great dog!
I have a similar dog to yours, 9.5 yrs old Alabai dog with the same characteristic. 74 cm tall at the wither, 120 lbs.
I use a trading collar on my Anatolian, even tho she is almost four. I use tone only, but she holds for me really well after off-leash.
We are shopping for one at this moment. Any tips to look for in a good training collar?
Mine has 21 setting and tone. When I tone her, she is trained to come to me.
@@ashthekangal I’m trying to find a decent sling pack for when I hike. I don’t like back-packs all that much as I don’t like taking it off to get to stuff. The pack I used today was good, but the strap padding wasn’t great. I carry water, life-straw, trail mix, flashlight, battery charging pack. My Anatolian won’t eat or drink bottled water when we are out. She drinks out of puddles or streams.
It's a challenge. I respect you for it. I hope he hasn't been claiming everywhere you go around by now because its a kangal thing that creates problems, sadly. At least you have those non-crowded places for him to discover. That's a lot of dog for sure but you look more than ok so far.
I just adopted a Turkish kangal / Belgian Malinois mix. Male, fixed. Amazing dog, he is very reactive towards my neighbors dogs through the fence…fine when he can see them …any advice . I’m assuming part of it is just his breed protecting his property.
My dog is pretty good on leash. Does pull a bit when excited but doesn’t pull really hard even with other dogs around he want to pull but he doesn’t use all his strength so he’s very manageable on leash. My Anatolian is 160lb+ now. My dog is not friendly to everyone. He doesn’t start fights in dog parks but his size and play behavior triggers other dogs and they end up being aggressive to him and he react then. I had to grab him a few times but the last time the other dog won’t back away and his owner just watches.
It is frustrating to deal with people who are oblivious to their dog's behaviour. I have been in the same situation.
Not sure if it works with a Kangal but l have had a mix of different breeds and the way l taught them to come back was to keep them in sight but hide from them if they wandered too far.
Most dogs should react by looking back and then run back to find you. See how he reacts by not being able to see you and being left alone.
Anatolian style nice dog
I use the term hold when we encounter something where I need to put her leash on. If we see other people on the trail. They are intimidated by an unleashed large dog. I unleash after the encounter.
My landlord has one named Bo, he is so gentle but so powerful in his presence. It's so sad to see people cut their ears and claim 'it's to protect them from wolves. the wolves bite the floppy ears' and I've never heard such rubbish in my life. canines always go for the belly, legs and soft under parts like the neck. the floppy ears makes them so adorable, which is what they should be. they are beautiful and affectionate dogs
Drinking game: take a shot every time he says situation.
These are very intellegent dogs, a good combo of menthal and physical training would prob have you to get in some more control of him,all the best to you and your beautiful dog.
My Kangal changed suddenly at 18 months old. Just seemed to become very guardy.
Yup. That seems to happen.
Where can I get a Turkish kangal in the USA?
H@@joeyanderson6660 there are few reputable breeders MAKE SURE you buy from a good breeder
Hello first of all i want to thank you for prayers and good wishes. Ash turn into to phase u can think as puberty on humans i think u can think that way gonna be more rebellius acts and he kinda be more wonderer then hes before like u said more confrontational but every time he confront a situation unwanted thats gonna be part of his identity i understand thats not work todays world and hard to settle but thats just what kangal is they are old blood working dog and if u expect that gonna change anytime soon thats not gonna happend they are evolve just that way self thinking dog they wont gonna act like gsd or dobermans anyways im wishing u and Ash best of lucks to days come.
That is why we love the Turkish dogs like him. Wouldn't change a thing.
After watching your vid with my wife, I took Pasha our 13 months old Kangal for a walk up the mountain on a windy road to test out if he displays disobedience or failed recall. He has been pushing the distance limit (away from me) last couple of months. The bigger he has gotten, the more brazen and confident, but he has always come back on command. Today was no exception. At one point he had bolted around a bend 150m away and I couldn't see him. My first call is a whistle. If no response, I shout normally: Pasha come back here. If still no response, I shout with an angry/aggressive tone. He came back like a bullet on the last call. It's because he knows the consequences of his Alpha being angry.
We have established who is the Alpha. We have established the boundaries Pasha must not cross. These 2 are constant ongoing exercises. In your video you mentioned watch videos on wolf behaviour. Well, the Alpha is very aggressive to those who choose to disobey and physically hurts them. I've been following the same pattern. I even have made a particular growl when I want Pasha to drop something and submit.
So in conclusion, I think your dog Ash is challenging your Authority. You seem like a kind person who can't hurt an insect. A non-aggressive kind of being. And that doesn't do you favours exerting Authority over this type of dog. This breed needs to also fear you to some extent to heed your command. It needs to be broken. If I was a shepherd and needed Pasha for guarding a herd, I would not have taken this route. Because I would want him to listen to his natural herding instincts first and then me. But he is guarding us and our home against people. A setting that requires him to adhere to My commands at all times.
You need to establish your Authority. This dog will get bigger and bolder and if he doesn't listen to you now, it won't listen to you later down the track.
Apologies for the long comment. All the best 🙏
If you have to call it back 3 times, it might not respect your Alpha status as much as you think
@@ashthekangal Maybe or maybe in this instance, he didn't hear me until I raised my voice and changed the tone from happy to "I mean business" one (he was a fair distance away and around a bend). The "I mean business" call works first time, Always. From what I've seen of other breeds I think the Kangals mental process is different. When other dogs obey immediately, the Kangal is still pondering on "how much can I push the envelope/get away with before I get in to trouble". Kangals are not people pleasers. They are more self oriented and only obey commands because they feel they have to according to their rank in the pack. The "I mean business" call reminds my Kangal of his place in our pack and gets him back All the time as I've tried it on the first call back many times.
This is my first dog ever and as I do with other living beings observe it closely to better understand it's psychology. To me at this stage of his life he is behaving like my son was doing at age 3-6 and pushing his boundaries set by me. That's what my dog is doing now and it's not about contesting the alpha status. If it was being contested, Pasha would ignore my come back commands altogether on our outings as well as basic commands at home.
All dogs even of the same breed do not have the same personality. I'm only sharing what's happening here for you to compare and see if it applies to your Kangal.
@@aslantheguardian9008 Unfortunately your situation is not the same as what I am experiencing at the moment with Ash. Ash's recall is not an issue. The issue that I have with him is that after we have gone for a 10 km walk and it is time to leave he will stay far enough away from me so I can not leash him back to go home. He stays 50 to 60 feet away from me when he recognizes the end of the trail. This behaviour began when he was around 13 months. I am in the process of un teaching him this bad behaviour and that being back on the leash is not a bad thing.
I would never want to break my boy because the natural instincts and traits of a kangal are the reason I picked him.
@@ashthekangal I understand. Coincidentally, Pasha was avoiding the chain with distance at the end of the trips too. But again the Serious call and then giving him a chunk of bread repeated over time has gotten rid of that habit.
Had an Anatolian Shepherd return home with part of a still warm deer leg. My bad.
I have been researching these type of breeds for a little while now, I am very interested with the Turkish breeds. From what I have seen there are the five most popular livestock type dog breeds that come from turkey that people for whatever reason just can’t seem to understand which is which. There is the Kangal which is most popular, the Akbash, Askaray malakli, the Karadeniz, and the Boz shepherd. Anatolian shepherds are not actually a specific breed rather a mix of one of these breeds, the people from the Anatolian mountains just call them this to generalize. The kangal and the Anatolian are not the same. The kangal and the boz are not the same dog. The kangal is it’s own phenotype. The boz is it’s own phenotype. They are all individual breeds. This dog in the video is what you would call an Anatolian shepherd, because it doesn’t belong to a single phenotype. Sure it may favor the boz or the kangal, but it is not one. In reality almost every single kangal you see outside of turkey is probably not an actual kangal, it is most likely a mix.
He is Boz/Kangal. It is my understanding, as well as, our breeders that a Boz is a mix of large headed kangal with a normal size headed kangal. They are still considered a kangal though. They are just larger. With Ash's breeding stock a pure kangal was brought back into the bloodline. If we continue breeding kangal in the bloodline eventually within 5 to 10 bloodlines we would have full kangal.
Lovely puppy 👏👏❤ thanks man. Wish home and you good health.
I wanna say, if he someday decides that a predator or any aggression is implying danger to you, and he gets his protective instincts on fire, no way in hell he will let you hold him or leash him. In such situations kangals tend to have no reverse gear, they don't back off, go to the owner. They are so obsessed with establishing the security of the environment or whatever they think they gotta protect.
Nature beats human mind I guess😂😂
I am discovering that now. Your words are true wisdom regarding this breed.
Hah! Very true "no reverse gear"!
Bir Turk olarak konusuyorum, o tasmalarla uzun sure onu tutamazsiniz! yuksek enerjili bir kopektir uzun sure ipli tasmalar onu ruhsal olarak asagiya cekecektir... Amerika ya yeni geldim kamp hayatini seviyorum ve turkiyeden 3 tane getirecegim. Ayilarla korkusuzca savasabilecek kadar cesurlar ve beni koruyacaklarina eminim.
Sadece bu video ve diğer tüm videolar için tasmasızdı
If I was in the city, I would not take any of my Kangals to a dog park. I took my Vizsla male to a dog park for a year. He was great, but too many people there were clueless about dog behaviour, and their dogs were out of control. Our 3+ year old Kangals would not tolerate the behaviour of these other dogs.
At 15 months old, he is still a pup in the Kangal world. At two years of age they are a stable working dog. At three they come into their own. They will let other dogs know they are crossing the line, but there are too many improperly socialized dogs at a dog park. If they go to the dog park several times, they will decide it is their park. This means all other dogs will need to behave properly or else.
I love this breed. They are our most favourite breed. We have 14 working Kangals. I hope for you and Ash the very best.
This is was made 10 months ago. A lot has changed. My dog just turned 2. We have stopped going to dog parks for the very reasons you mentioned.
Best breed. I can only imagine how devastating a team of Kangal like your would be against anything that trust to get in their way.
Having seen my dog fight, and how quickly they finish a threat it would be incredible to know your team is looking out for your family and livestock
@@ashthekangal thank u for the video, you got a subscriber
Where can I get a Kangal in the USA?
Dog does respect him. See this all the time
Actually it is good that I saw that dukie that way I am not surprised at how large it is XD Prepare for all contingencies!!! 😂
Ha, I’m watching your video and I see you are learning about your dog. Well I have been where you are going, my dog will be three in May, so hang in there ha ha
I love these dogs. They are worth it
Thank you for the videos . We just got a kangal mix pup . His name is Turkish because his only part kangal an they are from turkey . Lol !!
You can call him TURK LOL
@@alexdetagxi8148 I like that !
1:02 I love that, the keepaway game. Not that I relish your frustration. He's still a dog and wants what he wants and is so intelligent, loving his independence. What happens if you just leave? Will he follow you? Will he eventually come with you? I like that he's stubborn but don't like that he's inconsiderate. Is he inconsiderate?
at the time all this stuff was happening he would keep his distance if he knew I wanted to get him on a leash. It would not be possible to catch him if he decided not to go. Now a year latter his is good and follows me everywhere. I had to earn his trust and let him do his thing while we walk.
@@ashthekangalGood. Although it's a teensy bit disappointing he'd be intelligent and confident enough to deliberately defy you yet not considerate or wise enough to trust you in the first place.
A disobedient dog that knows what it's doing is fantastic and admirable. An irrationally mistrusting dog that makes their owner's life inconvenient and frustrating, as in making them wait an hour and a half to leash them, isn't.
A puppy you yourself raised should understand and trust you better than that. At least a superior dog you carefully raised should be better than that. My optimism toward other breeds is not so great.
Beautiful dog. Ash needs to learn to walk on a loose lead. Kangals at a dog park can be dangerous. They don't put up with other dogs trying to be dominant. They will teach the other dog that it's not the case. You had an understanding owner of the Belgium Malinois, but there are way too many dog owners that have no clue.
Your definitely right about the dog park. Now that he is almost a year and a half, if another male dose not back down to him right away it is trouble. And unfixed males are immediate fight mode no hesitations.
A lot has happened since our last video and we will be doing some updates asap
@@ashthekangal Thank you for your comment. People just don't get the fact that dogs aren't like people and that they handle things their way. There is always some jerk that has their dog with black studded collars that are looking for a fight.
I'm going to DNA test my 3 year old female dog. I thought she was half Spanish mastiff but I'm wondering if she's actually half Kangal or Anatolian. She's the most loyal dog I've ever had, she is an amazing guard dog and always monitors other dogs and people. If they step out of line she's on it in an instant, and will go like a bullet towards any perceived threat. I have to be careful letting her off the lead: she never runs away but there's always a risk of her rushing off if she thinks there's a threat nearby. Wherever we are, that's HER territory!

Where can I get a pure breed Kangal in the USA
How much does he weigh now?
I have a hard time finding places to go unleashed.
How long does he grow in height?...i have a anatolian shepherd thats 11 months old 30inchs at the withers
Just tryna predict how big my dog will grow thats all....anatolian shepherds are the same dogs as kangals....same exact dna
A lot of comments here, some really insightful and others, such as "not a kangal , without any other explanation of comment, really annoying. Other than the standard required coloring (or lack of) how can you say "not a Kangal"? US Kennel Clubs don't have a Kangal breed designation yet, unfortunately. UK does. My Kangal is always on a leash outside the pasture, otherwise she will take off (with or without a treat reward) and roam my rural neighborhood and come back when she pleases. I use an electric fence, which she won't come within three feet of. I've resigned myself to having to keep her fenced to keep her from wandering. I'm going to try the Halo satellite invisible fencing, has anyone had any luck with that?
Would they show aggression to unwanted intruders as an Alabai or CS would?
They will warn the intruder not to come closer by posturing and barking. This will be a bark you will recognize as a sign that there is something or someone on your property. At this point, they will advance to investigate. They are not aggressive unless aggression is shown to them first.
Where can I buy a puppy Kangal?
I think you need to train him to recognize you as the leader. Right now he looks like the leader and you are his flock. You will have issues with him if you do not establish yourself as the pack leader!
Does he pull for squirels?? 😂
The older Kangals get the more roaming
Is be expected
Don't be late using a shock collar! It sounds cruel but it isn't! Just give him a very gentle, irritating shock for recall. As they are very intelligent dogs, he will understand that you want him come back. Soon you won't need it for recall. Later, if he decides not to answer, you can use the collar again for reinforcing the training.
Can keep this dog outdoors yr round i want big livestock to ride in my trailer basically outdoor companion pet
An are the cool with kids
Is he fully grown or will he grow more?
In this video he was over a year old. Now he is over two and he is way bigger ( height and weight)
I love Kangals, it’s one of my dream dogs. Where can I buy a pure bread one?
@@craigdawson3450 sweet thank you. But how much are they and how would I get it to USA?
@@craigdawson3450 how much is 2000/3000 euros in dollars?
@@craigdawson3450 and the 100% pure bread? And we can get them as puppies?
@@craigdawson3450 I have done a lot of research. There my dream dog. I absolutely love them. This is why I am asking specific questions and why I want pure breads. I want a loyal companion that will protect my family if needs be. I am not looking for a guard dog that I train specifically for it. I want one that naturally protects its tribe like I have researched on Kangals. I want the strongest biggest dog out there to be my companion. And then when I get live stock down the road I know they would be awesome for that as well. I want the best of the best and do to my research, Kangals are it.
@@craigdawson3450 did you get yours specifically for live stock? Or why did you get yours?
stop allowing him to pull so much
They like calf liver more than steak. If you're looking for the best treat ever.
he is always talking about his dog getting in fights
Always 🤪
What a beut!!
Well I do try to take care of myself...oh wait, you mean the dog.
Lol
@@ashthekangal Aye, yon dogs a belter!!
12:20 "If you're assuming they're just gonna be little pet dogs like they're not." I think you may have under-emphasized your point there. If anyone gets a Kangal or Anatolian puppy thinking they're getting a sweet little dog, they are in for a BIG surprise. These are serious dogs that become dead serious when it comes to protection. I'm not trying to lecture you. Of course. But maybe if people considering a Kangal could see what they're like when they're angry and dangerous-looking, they'd see the rest of what makes Kangals amazing dogs, not just how self-controlled and gentle they usually are.
If a serious situation is about to happen the last thing I'm doing is holding out a camera and trying to film it. there is already a ton of videos of these dogs in Turkey on how intense these dogs can be
@@ashthekangal Yeah. It just kind of sounded after everything you've already said like, for a moment, that was a deceptively casual understatement. "Not a little pet dog" isn't perhaps as helpful or descriptive as you might have wanted when you were considering getting one, eh? Hahaha
Thank you for the videos. I realized even as I wrote the above that it sounds like I'm actually criticizing you instead of merely making light of how light you might come across to others.
I'm convinced that of all the domesticated dogs or even wolfdogs, Kangals or Anatolians are the best ones, at least for their purposes. Better than Caucasians or other bigger, scarier dogs. Maybe one on one a Kangal would be outmatched by the Ovcharka, but three on three, I think the Kangals could win because they probably know better what they're doing. I certainly have a hard time imagining the Ovcharka doing as well as the Kangal as an LGD, protecting and surviving. I hear they live about half as long, too. Sometimes bigger isn't better.
I am listening to you and you really need to put a e collar on him for recal. Especally if you are worried about him running into the road. I Raised my female Anatolian Shepard pup with a E collar to train recall.. vibration and beep only.. no shock. Recall is good verbally. With the ecollar.. perfect. One vibration and she runs directly. well socialized with both people an animals via dog park. protects her territory with aggressive barking especially from other dogs. the crazy thing is as the sun goes down.... all alertness territorial goes to 10........ i have to keep her away from my 110lbs Cane Corso after dark cuz she gets very very aggressive. when the sun is up she is a pussy cat. after dark she is a werewolf!!! anyways get a Ecollar you wont regret it
Got one a number of months ago. Works great 👍
From my understanding the export of Kangals to America was forbidden.
I live in Canada
Hey, what's up?
I would love to get a kangal but live in the states, any leads?
I thought t Anatolian Shepard and not a Kangal?
Ash is a Boz/Kangal. If you look up Boz you will see that it is considered a kangal.
@@ashthekangal I see, I think mine is Anatolian sheperd. Kangal head are more rouded while anatolian are more square.
And the fighting that's showing from turkey is the culture they have to find the right dogs for the job. But they are not fought t the death like Japan's tosa inu.and them killing wolves and hyenas is protecting their flocks and property.
He's not bred to be a pet....that is why you are having troubles. Kind of like buying a Corvette to drive off-road.
My 2 kangals are awesome at killing coyote when they try to get at our horse's. They are nothing but a torn up fur ball great dog's for a farm.
Hi , Unfortunately your dog is not Kangal.It is Anatolian Sheapherd dog.Theese two breed can be mixed easily because of their size and colour similarities.I recomend you some pages to show the differences if you wish.Regards
He is half Boz Shepherd and Half Kangal.
Its not a Kangal its Anatolianshepard ,a beutyful one but not a Kangal .Kangal has no stop on his head or just minimal.and its a Shepard je is not for walking on leash but run free
Anatolian sheeperd dogs don't bark, if they bark, It means something wild is coming and they are ready for fight.
A training collar will stop that runaway.
But why would you get a kangal to have it on a leash or at a dog park. You know it's a guardian breed. Why not have it patrol a farm or large area like they are bred to do.
I don't think he doesn't respect you, I think he just is an independent, free thinking, courageous animal like they have been bred to be.
It's pretty rare we go to a dog park or even have him on a leash for that matter. When he was under 14 months it wasnt a big deal but that changes.
He is on active duty as we speak.
When I do take him to a place where there is a slight chance of him running into another person's dog, I need him to have a way to keep him from rushing it. That's the main reason I need him to listen when I need him to.
If you dont have a dog like this you wont understand alot of what happens off video that people who do have them can relate to.
for some kind of reason my kengal loves this biggest baddest pitbull around and he loves him, they are ridiculous... they hate everybody else like cats fuck these dogs
haha
This dog is a hybrid, not a kangal. But Turkish dogs have loyalty and an instinct to protect their family in their blood
You are traveling on a well worn path but you left the dog's DUMP there? What?
You got the wrong dog. It's like getting a high drive dog to be a lap dog. It's like getting a cat to go on long hikes with. You got the wrong pet for the wrong purpose
No kamgal ... anatolian
I would need to hire a armed guard to protect my dog from a bear. I couldn’t watch him get killed. Feel the same way about a police dog. Too soft hearted.
All that aside, doesn't mean you can't have them it just means it's not for everyone you have to be aware and respect their nature as they are do not sugar coat it or it will be a costly mistake other than that more power to you keep it up. And I myself have always been fascinated by their breed Kangal very crude and rudimentary breed very basic really LGD, But in your case you got your dog as a puppy that means he never learn how to playfully attack from its mother lessons as these type of dogs primary attack are in the back of the neck or how a mother dog suffocate a wild animal from a bite, I suppose you would have to playfully show a bite on the neck of a stuff animal that resembles coyote, or wolf, or other stray dog. Really something else.
thats not a kangall its an anatolian dog
