The Kangal Dog is a native Turkish livestock guardian breed,
and in Turkey this historic breed goes by no other name.
It is registered in the USA by the United Kennel Club (UKC),
a respected registry for over 100 years, whose focus is on the "Total
Dog."
The Kangal Dog Club of America (KDCA) is the
National UKC Breed Club for the Kangal Dog.

Message from the President of the KDCA:

On behalf of our club's board of directors, I am very pleased to
announce that the United Kennel Club has officially approved our
club's request for approval as their National Parent Breed
Association for the Kangal Dog Breed. As many of you know, the
process for approval has taken a very long time and has been
achieved by hard work and input from board and club members both
past and present.
I would like to thank everyone who has volunteered their time and
talents to make this happen.

Best wishes,

Cedric Giraud
President
Kangal Dog Club of America
