Summary
About Kangal Shepherd Dog
Ancient Turkish livestock guardian: large, powerful, calm and observant, deeply loyal to family, reserved with strangers. Needs secure space, early socialisation, firm but fair training, and steady exercise. Best for experienced owners who respect its independence and guarding drive.
About Toy Poodle
Toy Poodles are the smallest Poodles, square and elegant with dense, curly, low‑shedding coats needing regular grooming. Lively, sensitive and highly trainable, they form close bonds, suit active indoor lifestyles, and, with good care, often live 14–16 years or more.
