WOLF KILLER - THE MALAKLI KARABAŞ DOG - Deadly Giant Kangal ? 

This video really shows the difference between a owner who just owns the dog and a owner who trained and socialize his dog from very young age and knows how to handle and manage his dog. absolutely great work from the second owner.

I had one malakli who died at fifteen ten years ago in my family farm in central Anatolia. It was so huge and impressive. He would never bark and make no noise of any kind. He used to give his silent and suspicious look at the strangers coming and going. As if he was telling the strangers " Hey, be careful of what are you up to because you're unceasingly on my close survailance, be a good person otherwise, hmmm you already know what would happen". Exactly like that. He was a real legend. I miss him much.

I have a large male Malakli and he's a gentle giant. I walk him with my male Husky and he has never shown any aggression to a person or any of the off-lead dogs that approach us. I've heard him growl at the cats and chickens when they attempt to steal his food, but most dogs would do that. A lot of videos misrepresent the breed, using them as status dogs. I hope this doesn't happen in the UK.

It is so cute to see Turkish flag on Thanos collar. 🙂 Made me so happy. Thank you Cameroon. Long live Thanos.

Thank you for introducing these breeds to everyone. Greeting from Turkey!

I'm always amazed by this plucky blonde, Anneka Svenska. She has a magic with dogs, even the dangerous breeds -- they love her. I love her British accent too, I can grasp her words without the aid of subtitles 😁

Amazing! Never expected the malakli would be covered since it's not as popular as the kangal despite being larger and stronger. 2 other cool dog breeds originating from turkey are the Boz shephard (which is taller than both kangals and malaks) and the Akbash(relatively smaller but they're just as good at guarding the flocks as the kangals). Love to see them covered someday!

Scary thought seeing one of these, he even admits he couldn’t stop him if he decided to go for something

That is quite a breed right here. Good guard and gentle around kids. This dog must go threw tons of food!

My Kangal is three years old. She is super intelligent and if she doesn't like someone, she has a reason. Today my wife was walking her on Mount Charleston (Harris spring road- 30 minutes outside Las Vegas) early morning to beat the heat. A young burro met her on the path. After a 10 minute stare down, they started playing and hanging out. They walked together for about 45 minutes. Luckily my wife had her phone out and got lots of video. I love that the Kangal will play with a strange donkey and at the same time make sure a coyote never gets close to the family.

Finally you understood difference between Kangal and Malaklı. I remember you were showing Malaklı footage as "Kangal" years ago lol. Now you got my respect, good job!

I absolutely love the Turkish breeds. Thank you for these amazing videos. I just adore your channel.

All I can say is "WOW"!! That is amazing power and independence packed into an amazing flock guardian. I believe that they can still be trained to a much higher level than the owners have done above as I have seen this done with Ovcharka's and Bully Kuta's, but it takes a lot of dedication in time, patience and resources. However all in all, its truly an amazing breed. Great work highlighting this breed!! Hope you can travel and showcase other dog breeds that are not in the UK but have good and responsible owners. The Tosa Inu and Fila Brasiliero in point. Keep up the amazing work!

Breathtaking. Stunning breed. As a lover and owner of huge breeds, these powerful dogs have truly captured my heart. A brilliant video. Thank you.

You are right. He is a shepherd dog that protects his farm, his owners and his flock. This feature has been maintained for centuries. It's not meant to be bred indoors. However, it will treat people and other small dogs with more respect and affection than most breeds.

That dog has no business being in a neighborhood. Especially when the owner can't control him

Would be cool if you cover the next Turkish guard dog the Akbash.

Great episode! My favourite one to date. Love how you educate not only about who should have these dogs but also about wolves cohabiting with humans. I will say though I can’t for the life of me think why anyone would have one of these dogs in a residential area where you have to cross the street to avoid people and other dogs?!? This for me is certainly not a dog for a town or city, it’s for the countryside and isolated areas.

I had a 175 pound American bully named eden, beautiful dog, ...she was very protective, but with my wife or grandkids she would show no sign or bark if someone threatened them ...so I had to watch her closer when we were in public with her...she died...and it broke my heart...but beautiful dog, I hope in heaven she will be returned to me..

Thanos was like " did you bring those snacks I asked for? " 🤣

Thank you for researching about Kangals. I love your tubes. I'm glad you did the Malakli because this is one of the breeds I love and the Guregh Boz Kangal. Can wait to get more stories on Malakli and hopefullly the Guregh Boz Turkish Kangal

The breed is pronounced /Ma-lak-luh/ as the Turkish spelling Malaklı and letter ı is pronounced /luh/. Also the place where the dog comes from is Aksaray /Ak-sa-rai/ with rai as in sky.

This is a great breed! Absolutely love how you did a video of this breed. This breed is legit. We love this RU-vid channel. Encouraged us to create a RU-vid channel for our German shepherds. We love the effort you put into all of your videos! We will continue to be big fans and watching.

This breed is definitely a beast! Awesome!

Awesome content - I like the look of the Prodog raw food blend. Great to see some healthy big dogs in a "usual" setting owned by people who aren't shepherds or flock owners.

Stunning breed. Abu will be gigantic. I would love to see him in one year or so when is fully grown.

Fascinating and Scooby-like adorable, despite their huge size and always looking about. I had never heard of these dogs, wonderful to see them here! :)

Amazing how cool and relaxed they stay at the same time protecting his owner. I'm not wondering, why they call this breed "The Anatolian Lion" in Turkey!

Absolutely gorgeous beautiful dog, impressive wow!!

Amazing would love one of these beautiful animals ❤️

I absolutely love Animal Watch. It's so cathartic for me just enjoying dogs and animals for who and what they are. It's a very positive, healthy, cathartic channel.

Thank you for advocating for the wolves. Yeah, they need to man up and get guardian dogs. Love your channels so much.

These are my all time favorite breed of dog 😱😍😍😍😍😍

Beautiful video Anneka! This dog is wonderful,very big and strong,very compliments! 👍👍👍💪💪💪❤😍🔥

Thank you for these comprehensive videos.

Amazing video! I'm learning so much thanks to you ❤️

*Love Malaklı and Kangal Dogs* really nice and Guardian dogs

Best Show Ever, My Lovely ~ You Keep Coming With The Over The Top Presentations and Are My Favorite Site On The Interenet Without Equal ~

As usual it is all about the owner and how he bring the dog up. Absolutely amazing dogs.

Beautiful dog breed ❤️

Abu is still social because he is young,once he is an adult i would like to see if he is still social to other dogs and people.

Malaklı dogs are so gentle towards kids and other human beings. It is very emotional dog they only become aggressive if the person have bad intentions

My Heeler loves roughhousing with the local Kangal. Amazing dogs that don’t even look real in person. They are huge.

I really enjoy watching the content of this channel as it making me think really hard about wanting to adopt a rescue dog in the future if possible. Thank you for creating very informative videos for us viewers/subscribers.

Wow. What an amazing guy is Abu's human, Dylan! Well done, fella.

Abu’s 🐾 was really huge😱and he is only 16 months and weighs 93kg😱😱

Today i donot study well becos waiting for this vdo always visiting animal watch ....😆😆...Thnk u anneka

Awesome video and dogs!! I'm always excited to learn about new breeds on this channel. I totally agree that Americans need to get back to their roots and become 1 with their natural surroundings again, including the wild predators like wolves! We musn't forget where we came from.

Malaklı dogs are not flock guardian dogs they are just guard dogs ,Kangal and akbash are true flock guardian dogs

Kangals may be smaller in size when compared with Malaklı, but Kangal's are far more intelligent, I mean really really they are! They're not that kind of breeds you may educate like a regular breed. somehow they have a very uniqe personality, and they know and feel what and where the thread is, what does smell, who is suspicious etc...I mean they're not the type of dogs you want him to bring your newsaper and slippers, they're so free and have their own persona. That's why security forces can't use them for searching drugs. etc. like a german shepherd. They'll never let your friend visit your home and touch your children if you don't give permission, till if you bring your friend to home with you and introduce him that he's your friend.Even then, he'll let him patrol in your garden but note that your friend is still suspicious to Kangal! He's relaxed, but still keeping an eye on him. He's loyal to family and children. They want to be free in your big lands peeking suspicious things and interfering trespassers, guarding your sheep packs against enemies, even you're not with the pack, they'll escort your livestock and bring them back to your farm from the mountains! And if they can't find their proper diet, it's ok them to consume poor food. In central and eastern lands of Turkiye, winters are so blasting cold and difficult, and it takes maybe 6 months (thanks to global warming, it may not be that long anymore =(( It's not easy to find proper food for their dogs for a shephard with his pack on the mountains during these freezing times. So they feed their dogs just with a mixture of strained water of boiled bones on to bran or barley!! That's what they call 'YAL'.. Malaklı's are bigger, bulkier, scarrier but they're slower, more hungry and less clever than Kangals. But with their sizes and always alarmed personality, they're also great guardians, I mean think if you are the trespasser and this Malaklı realized you!!! Size and muscle power is always a threat for any species (albeit to size Kangal still has the biggest biting force) Sadly, because of Malaklı's big scary size and protective nature , they train and use it for illegal dog fights in Turkiye. Lastly I don't believe Kangal and Malakli are two totally different species, couse their motherlands are also two close cities with 400km distance between them. For hundreds or thousand years, I believe their genes sure interacted somehow.

😲😲OMG!!! 😍😍👌Amazing breed This is the first time everything I came to know through ur video mam👍👍👍 great breed, great video mam👍👍👏👏👏

I love the owner kept the traditional turkish-made collar. looks much more majestic in that

This lady drank an incredible amount of wolf coolade 🤣🤪

I need one of these on my farm!!! They are beautiful!!

On the Olympic dogs channel this dude has 2 half malakli and half alabai dogs that are 9 months old. He breeds mixed dogs and those 2 females are huge. Great channel.

A great video as usual! Thank you for all you do for introducing us to beautiful animals. You should consider doing a video on Korean Jindo dogs, they are a very unique interesting breed.

Emeğinize sağlık; güzel bir tanıtım olmuş.

I have this dog breed and he is 95 cm even though he got really sick as a puppy (meaning he could have grown more) yes he can be very aggressive especially towards other animals but loves meeting new people. For example if we have guests in our house he doesn’t leave their side. Another thing not mentioned enough in this video is that the breed is very intelligent but is really really hard to train. He knows what I want him to do but most of the time chooses not to. Sometimes even food can’t bribe him. He chooses to do his job first prior to food. Comparing to the kangal, the Aksaray Malaklı has bigger paws and floppier ears but aren’t as athletic. Because of their heavy weight and genes 60 percent of the breed including my own dog has dislocated hips. Since he’s huge surgery wasn’t an option for him, but we put in this emmm golden beads in his hip joint that help a lot with pain. And it worked! Right now he’s 2.5 and living his life. And forgot to mention eating 2 kg daily. So yeah. Not the cheapest dog.

Great dog and best guardians

love kangals and malakli, theyre huge bruts of dogs. they have strong bonds with their live stock, owners, and other dogs.

My Reginold just passed, He was a Akita/Kangal and was a beast! 14 years old and never hurt a fly! Was strong as F though :)

One fact told here needs a correction : there are large wolves too in Turkey. Yes compared to the North Americans generally smaller but there has been spotted some huge ones too.

Simply mind-blowing what a magnificent breed

The brutal, bloody start to these videos is... exactly that. Wish they didn't feel need to attract viewers who require such footage. Thanks to those who rescue, foster and help animals around the world. 🐾💙🍃

Thanos knew you were a good person.

Great episode. I love the way you focus on the breeding. They appear to be an eco-friendly way of protecting flocks.

yess ive been waiting for yous to do a video on this breed because so many people call it a Kangal and its not

Wonderful dogs I have ever seen. Thanks for this great video.

Wow beautiful beast 🐶

Tank one of the best malaks dogs I've ever seen

What a beautiful dog!

Love him. Thanks for the information

Beautiful dog

Guys, Malaki and Kangal are two different breeds!

incredible video, Anneka did really well

THAT SECOND DOG IS SPOT ON AND KUDOS TO HIS OWNER FOR WELL SOCIALISING IT!!💯💯💯👌🏾

Malakli ou kangal são duas raças magníficas !!!!

Finally!!! This is the breed we have and will hopefully be breeding soon in Western Canada. Abu and our female (8 months old currently) share the same father Turk. The video has an error though. Turk was bred in Romania, where Abu was born. Turks parents and grandparents were taken from Turkey to Romania. Our female and Abu look and behave so much alike it’s crazy. They are an amazing breed.

Abu, the second dog in this video is born in Romania my kennel, Gladiator Spirit.He is a beautiful dog that I am very proud of. Congratulations on this material!

Cuteness Overload 😍😍😍

Makes my Anatolian Shepherd, Scarlett look like a chihuahua next to these big guys lol. I love learning about this breed just as much

Nice video and educative

I never seen a dog that alert in my life

Great vid as always

I live in Aksaray district of Turkey, I feed it in my garden. These dogs are very protective. These dogs are very famous around here.

I need to get one of these majestic dogs . Incredible breed 👌

I'm not surprised she got along well with most of her dog guests because they sense energy and emotions don't pose a threat. She is happy, gentle, open, and respectful to them and they welcome her into their space. Body language and energy triggers responses. Animals are are my favorite people.

Malakli is a magnificent looking dog superb guardian breed

Great episode but slightly concerning how the first owner just accepts the dog takes control of situations even whilst he's around and not being able to get his attention while outside etc. Great dog but don't think the handler's the right fit. Seems like Dylan's doing a great job though.

The first guy doesn't really know what he's taking about, it's alot more in his head than anything else. The second guy said it better, "without socialization they can get aggressive but more towards dogs". If these were aggressive, treats are not going be enough to get close to a dog like this. The first guy was surprised he was eating treats and was calm, clearly doesn't know he's own dog. I was hoping to see some actual man aggression or at least some protection instincts. Other than it was definitely an episode worth watching

Dylan superb owner very impressed he has honoured the dog by early socialisation care etc also pleased No cropped Ears well done Dylan

Wow . Amazing breed.

What a small world! It' s quite surprising to see an aksaray malakli in UK. I wonder are there any akbash breed as well?

Malaklı, kangal, akbaş. Harika 3 cins

Outstanding Breed

Jolly good show Annika!!!!!

What a beautiful dog. I find it crazy how people with dogs like this, don't have them properly trained for walking. A breed like this, you might want to make sure you can physically hold your own or this dog will do whatever it wants, when he wants.

Firstly, I would like to congratulate you on having an opportunity to meet with such an amazing breed. I generally enjoy watching your content, however, there are times where it could be better. In my opinion, you are a reputable youtuber when it comes to canine-related content and numerous people watch your channel for education. Therefore, it is important to avoid misinformation for such an established youtuber. To begin with, the title of this video mentions kangal when the malakli is not related to kangal dogs at all. Kangal is an archaic shepherd dog with origin tied to proto-wolfdog. With its origin tied to central asia/transcaucasus region, kangal dogs are one of the most effective livestock guardian dog with extremely high speed, endurance, work ethic, tolerance to treacherous environment condition, supreme adaptability, very well developed senses and insanely efficient metabolism (meaning, that this dog can perform high on extremely limited calories). On the other hand, aksaray malakli is the dog hailing from Aksaray region of Turkey with its origin tied to ancient war/guard mastiff dogs used by the Sumerians. This dog heavily relies on a large amount of calories not only due to its large size but also due to inefficient metabolism; afterall, it's a mastiff and not a livestock guardian dog. Also, malakli’s endurance and athleticism relative to kangal is almost negligible. Malakli lacks the primitive instincts that kangal has, malakli has weaker senses and is less intelligent. The only factors in which malakli excels over kangal is size, bite force, aggression and gameness. Therefore, malakli is used as a fighting dog in Turkey (as well as estate guardian). Due to the lack of athleticism, low adaptability, temperament and instincts required for livestock works, malakli is NOT used as a shepherd dog (so that was the mistake you made in the video). Also, I know that you have made it clear in the video that malakli is not a kangal, however, you mentioned “kangal” in the title. According to Merriam Webster dictionary, “clickbait refers to something (such as a headline) designed to make readers want to click on a hyperlink especially when the link leads to content of dubious value or interest.” The reason why I am mentioning this is because there are people who want to truly understand the behavior, structure and temperaments of a “livestock guardian dog” like kangals. Your video title says “kangal”. Many people do not know what malakli is, but after seeing the keywords like “kangal” in the video, audiences hope to see a livestock guardian dog content, and malakli is nowhere close to a livestock guardian dog. Another common pattern I see in your videos is your extensive love for wolves. I love wolves. Their intelligence, agility, pack coordination and mentality seriously inspires me. However, you seem to be exaggerating facts about wolves out of proportion. I reside in Alberta and am an avid outdoor adventurer. I have traveled to woods of Northern Alberta and Yukon territory and have witnessed countless wolves. By the way, when it comes to the average size of wolves, the wolves around Mckenzie valley are supposed to be the largest. Upon witnessing countless wolves, interacting with many biologists and rangers, they have not once recorded a wolf that is bigger than malakli, like you claimed in the video. Malakli regularly weigh over 80 kg and in rare cases exceed 120 kg while an average Canadian wolf weighs about 50-60 kg and very rarely over 70 kg. According to the Alaska Department of Fish and Game, the largest wolf was recorded in 1939 and it was a Mckenzie valley (Canadian timber wolf) caught in central Alaska was 175 lbs (79 kg). Regarding the all time question here, several bloodlines of malakli have been selectively bred for fighting capabilities and they have sumerian mastiff origin too, meaning these dogs have a very high gamene$$ and willingness to fight. Animals like wolves have very low willingness to fight because they are wild animals. In the wild, when it's about surviving, animals go for easy prey because they do not want to waste their energy fighting and risking potential injuries, as this can prove fatal. They are great hunters though due to their pack coordination. Now, you may be wondering why I wasted so much of my time writing such a long, rigorous comment. The reason is simple. I was an amateur dog enthusiast in the past too. It took me years to gain the amount of knowledge on working dog breeds that I have today. I relied on several established content creators like yourself to expand my knowledge on canines. Along the journey, I have faced countless misinformations. I simply do not want others to face such misinformation, and am providing feedback to make your channel even better in the future. I am subscribed to you and frequently enjoy your contents. I am by no means hating.

Love that breed .. Along with Doberman and Rottweiler i have a six year Rottweiler.. She is amazing..

Oof Thanos needs to be given to a shepherd in rural Turkey honestly
