Anatolian Shepherds / Kangals originates from Sivas City, Turkey
- That’s me with Hercules, an extremely friendly dog in Brooklyn 👇🏼
- Strongest dogs in the world with a bite force of 743 psi
- Used as guard dogs to protect sheep and other flocks from wolves, bears and bigger predators
- Known for their gentleness towards human beings especially children
- Too protective and loyal at the same time towards their owner and family, so a bit risky while taking them out for a walk among strangers, due to the extreme protectiveness
- Needs to be socialized & meet new people from a younger age to keep them safe dogs.
- Huge dogs with strong muscles but at the same time agile and can take down their predators within minutes
Here are the 3 Beauties- Hercules and buddies;
Mixed breeds can be found in the US, but the pure Kangals are banned from export, though people color their hair to export them 🙃
