[3]Background and human relationship
A Turkish livestock guardian associated with protecting sheep and with the town of Kangal in Sivas. Its precise development remains uncertain, and other Anatolian dog names are not automatically treated as identical in scope.
[1]Build and coat
A large, robust rectangular dog with thick coat, combining substantial appearance with the ability to move promptly. Its guarding construction differs from dogs primarily used to gather and drive sheep.
[1]Colour and comparisons
The body is self-coloured fawn to wolf-sable, with a black mask and dark ears. White on chest and feet has location and extent limits. Mask, dark body shading and white areas are separate features.
