    Talking My New Kangal Puppy

    Here's True; she's my 8 week old Kangal puppy. The Kangal Dog is the National dog of Turkey and they are LGD's. Females are large and muscular and weigh about 100 pounds; males weigh approx 140-150 pounds. There are not many Kangal Dogs in this country as yet and so I am sincerely humbled to own one and to help preserve this pure blood breed. This spring we'll be getting a male.

    Without further ado....

    Cute pup! I think I remember a show on National Geo about this breed, one of the first of the domesticated breeds if I'm not mistaken? Pretty cool!

    Maybe. They've been in Turkey forever and are used exclusively as LGD's.

    She'll be about 110-115 pounds. I just looked at what I posted and I typo'd!! Females get about 110# and both sexes are very muscular and very tall. A full grown Kangal, standing on their hind legs, can easily look a 6'4" person in the eyes...

    I think you're looking at the leftover Enzadent rawhide chew!!! Lol!!!! Jack only eats them halfway (he's my rottie) and so I gave the other half to True. She seemed okay with it!!!
