  The Kangal is one of the largest and strongest livestock guardian dogs, originally from Turkey. Although they are not naturally aggressive toward humans, they are bred to ward off predators such as wolves and bears, which makes them very independent and dominant.

  In some places, Kangals are banned or require a special permit due to their size, protective nature, and potential aggressiveness toward other animals. Why they are banned: Extreme guarding abilities and potential for aggression. Where they are banned: In Denmark and some parts of Europe.
