Kangal Shepherd Dog vs Akbash

Kangals have strong protective instincts, which can sometimes be mistaken for aggression. They are, nevertheless, generally calm unless provoked or threatened; they are not naturally hostile.

Yes, Kangals have a thick double coat that sheds moderately year-round, with heavier shedding occurring during seasonal changes. Shedding can be managed with regular grooming.

Kangals have a strong prey drive and may not always get along with other dogs. They must be properly trained and socialized early on in order to live in harmony with other pets.
