The Kangal represents a Turkish mastiff celebrated for remarkable strength and protective capabilities. These dogs underwent breeding to defend livestock from large predators including wolves and bears. Kangals demonstrate calm temperaments around their families but may become extremely aggressive when detecting threats. With bite force reaching 743 psi, they rank among the world's most powerful canines. Proper socialization and training prove essential for ensuring they remain gentle guardians rather than dangerous opponents.
