Increasing interest in the Kangal (Karabash) Dog across the world
The Kangal (Karabash) Dog stands out
from other sheep guardian dogs with its superior courage, endurance, loyalty,
and calm dignity. It is used not only for fighting wolves but also other
predators and even pariah dogs. In the USA Kangal (Karabash) Dogs are bred today
to protect farm animals against predators such as the mountain lion called puma
or cougar (Felis concolor), the grey wolf (Canis lupus), the coyote (Canis
latrans), the jackal (Canis aureus) and the lynx (Felix lynx). Many African
counties use the Kangal (Karabash) Dog to protect their livestock, particularly
from the cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus) and the hyena (Crocuta crocuta).
