KANGAL SHEEP DOG • The Kangal is a breed of livestockguardiandog, originating from the Kangal district in Sivas, Turkey. It is of an early mastiff type with a solid, pale tan or sabled coat, and with a black mask. According to the official Kangalorganisations in Turkey - Cynology Federation Of Turkey (KIF) and Ankara KangalDerneği (ANKADER) Kangals in Turkey may also be brindle or recessive black tan pattern; with or without a black mask; and/or with white markings. • While the Kangal is often referred to as a sheepdog, it is not a herding dog, but rather a flock guardian that lives with the flock of sheep to actively fend off wolves, bears and jackals. The Sivas Kangal Dog's protectiveness, loyalty and gentleness with small children and animals has led to its growing popularity as a guardian for families as well, as it regards people as its "flock" and guards them with extreme devotion. <—BACK
