Turkey considers the sand-coloured, muscular and livestock-guarding animals as its national dog. The Mastiff-like creatures are predominantly used to protect herds of livestock and they're also used for personal protection and to fend off wolves - the Kangals are known to have one of the strongest bite force of any dog.
