The Kangal shepherd dogs, known for their fame beyond national borders, have attracted the interest of Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates, which are known for their fascination with predators like lions and tigers. A Kangal dog breeder in Sivas has made an agreement to send 10 adult Kangal dogs to different countries.

The Kangal dogs, which are considered the best livestock guardian dogs in the world, are also attracting interest from Middle Eastern countries. The Anatolian lions, which stand out with their strength, physique, livestock guarding duties, and guarding abilities, are being purchased by countries such as Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates.
THEY WILL PROTECT LARGE HERDS
Normally a cold climate animal, but able to adapt to hot weather in a short time, the Anatolian lions will take on the task of protecting large herds in Middle Eastern countries. Before going abroad, the Kangals will undergo various tests and will be sent to Middle Eastern countries after microchip procedures.
"THEY ARE RECEIVING SERIOUS DEMAND"
Breeder Umut Taşdelen, who stated that 10 Kangal dogs will be sent in the first phase, said, "Our Kangal dogs are receiving serious demand from many countries such as Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates. It is an honor for us that our national value will serve there and represent us. One of the biggest features of Kangal dogs is their guarding and use in herds. Since there are also significant herds there, they contacted us.
"IN THE FIRST PHASE, WE WILL SEND 10 ADULTS"
They requested Kangal dogs. They are showing serious demand for Kangal dogs, but we started with 10 adults in the first phase. We believe that more will follow. Certain permission documents are required for the Kangal dogs to go abroad. Things like microchip, rabies titer test, identities, and vaccinations are required. After these processes are completed, we plan to send our dogs over there," he said.
