BULGARIAN SHEEP DOG
Lucy is a Sivas Kangal shepherd dog originating in Turkey
These Turkish Kangal are known to be run aways and don't interbreed, creating a very pure bred dog
also known to shepherd the kittens!
KANGAL Lucy the Shepherd Dog of Bulgaria a huge sheep dog and her kittens!
The Bulgarian Shepherd Dog is extremely large with a voracious appetite to match! The photos here show a female shephard dog who rescued me when she was tied up to protect a local factory owned by Greek men. Although the factory didn't think much of her powers of protection, she had turned into a very protective mut and these pictures show her at around 6 months old! I'm unsure when this bitch will come on heat but I have already spotted another Bulgarian Sheep Dog identical to her but male who I have my eye on when the time comes to breed her! Although she has already chosen her boyfriend and he is besotted with her! There is another male sheep dog in the village, but he is black and white and has a very mean temperment, Lucy has a very kind temperment and I would like her pups to be the same as her! There are no vets who perform a neutering service in this neck of the woods and very few vets in Bulgaria to neuter dogs at all, thus the recent wild dog packing problems we are hearing about. Most of the street dogs are quiet, human friendly and quite tame as they are allowed to go about their own business. Some dogs are bred to be wild and it's these dogs that are causing the problem along with the lack of vets to help east the growing problem of puppies.
The Sivas Kangal breed of dog is a known run away dog and usually has to be well fenced in, chained up or with luck used as a real shepherd dog, to use the enormous amount of energy this large dog has!
I have noticed with my Kangal, Lucy, the minute she is let off her chain, she will race off in the other direction to go play!
However the sheep farmers are concerned because of her size. She adores sheep, but when she plays with them, it does look like she's attacking them.
This is one Bulgarian Sheep Dog who knows how to have a jolly good laugh
and has a natural instinct to protect and herd plus a couple of kittens!
She has taken the tiny kittens under her fur and gives them a gentle nudge when they arn't going where she would like them to go!
She is only around 6 months old still a puppy herself but already is showing great potential to be a very good sheep dog!
The Bulgarian village has a lot of cows who also don't do as the farmer would like them to, this Bulgarian sheep dog chases around like a nutcase barking mad at them to go home for milking time!
there are also lots of dogs in Bulgaria that resemble Wolf Dogs, this beautiful wolf dog followed its loving owner and was quite wary of us, although it did wish to pose for a shot or two!
The Dreadful news of the English lady mauled to death by a pack of wild dogs in Bulgaria breaks all the headlines with a lot of people finding this site as a result.
Our thoughts go out to the family of this English lady.
Please also bear a thought for the stray wild dogs on the streets of Bulgaria, they are everywhere and reproducing almost daily. The Bulgarian sheep dog who has taken me on, is a female with the boys already coming round to get prime position on her! There are no vets in Bulgaria who can neuter her and the pill is seemingly unavailable for dogs!
Perhaps some mobile volunteer/charity vets could spend some time in Bulgaria to help with this alarming wild pack dogs problem?
The Bulgarians love their dogs, but what on earth do they do when their dogs mate?
A huge Bulgarian sheep dog has adopted me, she's only 7 months old and the boys are already coming round vying for best position on her!
Any ideas? FORUM
Any volunteer vets?
Please help, people are getting hurt, the dogs are wild and packing and its freezing now with little or no food, they are starving hungry and by the sounds of it, human flesh is on the menu.... Please send help... someone!
Kangal the Turkish Shepherd dog known locally as Lucy! The Kangal, full breed name Sivas Kangal, is a huge domestic dog brought across into Bulgaria from Turkey

Although I have heard that importing a Sivas Kangal from Turkey is not allowed, Lucy rescued me when she was a little pup being rather mistreated. The Kangal have a reputation of being run aways and Lucy is no exception.

BULGARIAN SHEEP DOGS shepherd the cats in Bulgaria
The temperment of this Bulgarian sheep dog naturally forces her to keep a keen eye over the kittens, she watches them closely when they eat and even more so when they sleep!
