In a grid down SHTF scenario, I'd want something a little smaller and more agile. This is why I'm a Malinois type of guy. Kangals are cool dogs though. Wish they lived longer.
I'd never heard of the Kangal before, so I did some quick research. Apparently they live ~15 years. Pretty amazing for a big dog. They also sound like great family dogs. Also according to my recent research (about five minutes ago), the reason they are rare in the US is that Turkey is trying to preserve the breed's purity, and won't export many of them.
Wow, 15 years. That's very long for a big dog. I just assumed that they were done around 10 years old like other big breeds.
My fairly big dog lived for fourteen years. Not sure what the mix was, but the vet told us he thought maybe part GS, Husky and Golden Retriever. When he hit the twelve year mark and still had plenty of energy, I thought he might make to fourteen or fifteen. I love big dogs like Bernese Mountain dogs, Great Pyreneese and a few others, but they just don't live long enough.
