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).
