Get to Know a Little About Us

We are the Kangals Farm Family, and our passion is raising healthy, well-socialized Kangal puppies on our small farm in the mountains of southern Brazil, just 70 km from the capital.

Our property offers an unparalleled environment for developing the ideal Kangal temperament. The terrain is a diverse mix of rugged hillsides with natural streams and ponds, alongside manicured pastures and gardens. This variety provides the perfect backdrop for our puppies to explore and grow confident.

Our breeding program is centered on early and continuous socialization. From birth, our puppies are exposed to the full spectrum of farm life, including:

Family Life:

Daily interaction with adults, children, and our family cats.

Farm Animals:

Typical farm animals, with cows, pigs, and chickens.

Varied Terrain:

Rocky paths, water features, and open fields.

We believe this foundation creates a Kangal that is not only a powerful and instinctive guardian but also a calm, gentle, and trustworthy companion. We are dedicated to preserving the integrity of this ancient breed and sharing our well-rounded puppies with families who appreciate their unique qualities.
