I was sorry to hear that you had to experience such a stressful situation in your life. You are a lovely person who brings joy to people's lives with your wonderful videos.
Yessss! Finally, you made one of my dreams true. FYI: Some of the dogs shown in the video, were not Sarabi; they were Kurdish Mastiff. There are two types of Sarabi; the Old essence, which is the original mastiff, and the New essence, which is the modern variant. In general, the New essence individuals are larger in size. Both Gaara and Integra are from the Old essence.
That's why they said only two in uk because they are the only two original sarabi thr new essense sarabi are mixed with other breeds these two in the video are the pure sarabi
I just watched a video on you tube about these dogs where Lee was with the owners of them. They described the history and love of them. Then today this video came up. What a beautiful animal and what a wonderful defenders/ warriors heart they have! I hope that their heritage and breed remains pure so they can continue on.

Quick note about the dogfighting: dogfighting is heavily looked down upon by most Persians, its always the worst of the worst or the people who are too poor to turn away who use these dogs for fighting. They're a rare breed but they're well-loved, and many of the guard/shepherd dogs I saw when I visited shared a lot of their features. These guys are also half-feral when guarding flocks, and are supremely tough! So much so that dogs like them are feared as much as they are revered, as they will maul or kill anyone who isn't their owner without hesitation. They're beasts!
I despise organized dog fighting and the people who do it willingly. Territorial fighting is one thing... My 3 dogs are always having fights with the wild dog packs around my farm. It's as nature intended in my opinion and i'd rather they didn't but the wild dogs are vicious where i live so if they have to fight then so be it. Putting dogs in a ring to tear each other to pieces though... horrible.
@dodo19923 yes dog fighting is wrong but when lgd breeds are pitted against one another its to test there combat skills and for good reason. Would you want a lgd breed who has no combat experience going up against a wolf, jakyl, bear or striped hyena without confidence or combat experience? These dogs are pitted to teach them to fight and they need that cause most of the time dogs are on there own and have to be tough. For example just cause someone is fit and works out doesn't mean there tough but an mma fighter is in good conditioned shape but is tough due to training and combat experience. Yes it sucks when dogs are organized to fight but there is also the benefit that the dog is battle experienced and confident enough to confront a predator if needed
dog fighting in general throughout the world has never bin something any nation has ever praised. it has always historically bin a more a underground thing similar to cockfighting. it can only flurish in arias where people are extremely poor and people do it out of nessecity. this is why overall illigality and orginized criminal groups are always the once who organize these type of sport. similar to other depraved once.

Hi Anneka,I didn't know this beautiful breed of dog before seeing your fantastic video! Surely they are wonderful and very powerful dogs but their nature must be respected and not forced to live in small houses or with little outdoor space. Thank you very much Anneka for your great professionalism as always!👍👍👍🥰
All these alabais and central Asians sheeperds and sarabi are same breeds . 1000 and 1000 years ago they all was one blood line wich called Persian mastiff and after persia become many countries then each area called them different names .
@@behzadbahmanzad1451no sarabi are bigger than alabai as you can see alabai are only 27-29inch tall sarabi are 30-35inch tall they may be from same bloodline long ago but as time goes by sarabi are breed from different dog and different purpose also the body structure are different sarabi are tall lean dog while cas are stocky
Well sarabi are actually called ghadrejani or ghaderijan and thier breeding include dog fighting where the winner will get to mate other females or other owner will choose thier dog to be mated by a winner dog in fight its a tradition where the strongest get the chance to spread its bloodline so unlike kangal or cas ghadrejani are actually bred to fight predator not only to scare off predator like other livestock dog
Sarabi and Ghahderijani are two different breeds. Sarabi is for north west and Ghahderijani is for central of Iran. Ghahderijani is smaller but more aggresive. Ghahderijani is better as watch dog but sarabi is good for herding.
Sending love to you Anneka for your bravery and strength to overcome your tough time ❤️. Wishing you the best of health and happiness for the future, thanks for all the time you put into the channel
Thank you for this insite into a beautiful dog. So sorry to hear about your situation. I cannot understand how any man lucky enough to be in a relationship with such an amazing woman could not treat you with the love and respect you deserve. ❤❤❤
Thanks for sharing about the Sarabi dog 🤗 They are very courageous and loyal dogs and one of the oldest dog breeds in the world. Dogs and Horses allways been looked upon in the Iranian culture and in some religious scripts counsidered them as two heavenly animals, closest friends to mankind and for dogs, if you harmed a dog you could not enter the heaven. Sarabi dogs and Alabi are two of the most common sheperd dogs in Iran. When i was a kid i was chased by 3 of these dogs and surprisingly they did follow me to the edge of the farm and stoped, when i looked back i sow 3 huge dogs with necks high up looking at me and not making any movement ,as if they knew they can only be defensive inside the farm area and not leave the farm despite there were no fence or wall between the farm and the open plains around it. Now remember they are sheperd dogs which means they are there to give chase to wolves and kill it after they entered the farm, i just find these dogs really deciplined and honorable in nature.
Thanks for introducing the persian dogs. Unfortunately these dogs are not under an organization in Iran to protect their blood lines and they are mixing a lot as you mentioned. Just may be I mistake bicuse of similarity,The black dog in your video looks a pure persian Ghahdarijani dog( سگ قهدریجانی) a county near Isfahsn not Sarabi, they are also perfect ship dogs and well known in persia.
Sarabi and ghadrijani look alike but only the black colour but the dog in the video is a pure sarabi. It's like the alaskan malamute and siberian husky the alaskan malamute is bigger the husky is smaller
@@jjjiljjjj generally Sarabi dog is for protecting herds. Wolves know that the weak point is their ears. Shepherds clip the ears to protect them against wolves.
The thing is most wolves avoid flocks and go for larger preys like dears, boars and Bisons. However a young inexperienced wolf might try its luck on a flock but are usually deterred by the presence of Sheepdogs. However if the wolf still attacks then it won't have a chance against a full pack of dogs.
Just to give some clear information on this, you have put 2 breads and gave them the same title, we have 1: the Sarabi bread 2: the Kurdish mustaff known as (Pajdar) these are very different breads but almost have the same characteristic The bread that is very rare is Kurdish Mustaff is almost the biger than Sarabi and is goes back in history we have the statues from them that goes back more than 2500 years ago what is being shown with these two breads is that they are Sarabi breads and not Pajdar but in your clips (2:04) that is Pajdar and you could see the difference between them they have a very different face. Pajdar is much more gentle with the owner and very even tempered but protective beyound believe and the thick skin on the neck prevents any injurty during the fight, it could be dog fight, wolf fight any fight realy. and just to complete this info the following are the Persian dog breads that are very unique 1- Sarabi 2- Kurdish mustaff (Pajdar) very rare very large 3- Soloki (is a persian hound) very beautiful dog 4-Sang e sar (another large dog almost as big as sarabi) 5-Ghadr joni (very similar to sarabi but a bit smaller and not even tempered as sarabi) 6-Ghafghazi (Huge dog about 65 to 75 cm and it could get to 140kg) I hope this helped and thank you for your kind attention
Super cool species, have never actually seen one or heard of them before. Def look to have some type of shepherd in them, doesn't look like a mastiff breed at all though, at least these two don't.
There are two varieties, one is more like shepherd dog , and other one look like a big kangal can weigh upto 90kg, Google it, coz I don't think these are pure
I love seeing these videos since I already know all these dog breeds I’ve owned a Caucasian shepherd for years but these videos are amazing since they give a lot of great dogs exposure, hopefully they bring some sarabis into Australia I’ve always wanted one
Persian shepherds are amazing I’m so glad you had the chance to see them. These are very small working dogs though I’d like you to see the larger exhibition dogs.
Wow thank you so much for doing this. I am obsessed with LSGD and own 3 of there rarer breeds but even j had nit heard of these guys. So amazing to see working LSGF, mine are working so interact with farm animals and also lay in the sofa and walk in public. Such magical beings are LSGD.
wolves hunt in packs at night. When the wolves start to howl, the dogs will know what is coming and they will run away immediately. These dogs lack the courage to face wolves. That's why you can't see these dogs meeting wolves at night. show me an example if i'm wrong . 12 - 05 I want to see dogs fighting wolves during wolves hunting hours. These dogs average between 90 and 110 kg and can run very slowly. It is almost impossible for them to catch a wolf in their natural habitat. In many countries in the Middle East, they shoot the wolf and throw it injured in front of the dogs. Dogs of 90 kg have problems with their lungs and get tired quickly and give up. ( anatolian shepherd, malaklı, caucasian shepherd, alabai, sarabi, volkodav, ) none of these dogs can run 5km. If you see these dogs fighting a wolf, know that they shot the wolf and threw it in front of the dogs. the wolf walks 50 km a day in its natural environment it is hunted all its life red meat fed muscle mass it is impossible to catch a wolf let alone fight. this is why almost all of the dog wolf videos fighting wolves at night are kangal. A kangal working in the mountains walks 40-50 km a day. It is active at night by nature and likes to patrol its area, you can often see it encountering wolves. It is between 55 -75 kg on average, just like a wolf. back to our topic, every country loves its dog and every country likes to exaggerate its dog. The wolf population in the Americas is almost 10 times higher than the wolf population in Turkey. But you can't see dogs fighting wolves in America. Despite the fact that there is a very high population of wolves and dogs in Russia, Iran in Europe, dogs are not reflected in the cameras because they are afraid at night. If these dogs are wolf killers, why are they never seen on camera? sarabi vs wolf ? I have a video, I've saved it now, while the wolf attacks the cows in Iran, the dog is scared and runs away ( sarabi )
@TÜRKİYE HAYVANLAR your just not making any sense 1st of all there's no video of a sarabi attacking a wolf and I am pretty sure they can kill a wolf depending on the type Secondly there's no other race of wolf In iran apart from a Indian wolf which can weigh around 50 pounds and can easily be killed by a sarabi you can't compare a kangal to a sarabi kangals were creates by using the blood of a sarabi you know nothing about the breed barely anyone does also these two look very fit and fast
@@WildAnatolia-3-6-9 why do so many turks make out the kangal is the one and only wolf killer?? I have never seen a video of a KANGAL killing a wolf 1 v 1 its just videos of KANGALS ragging a dead wolf or a pack attacking ONE wolf! There is thousands of videos of wolves doing kangals tho init!!! I was told before that the malakli finishes the wolf off after the kangal traps it that why the malakli doesnt need to run fast!! Fact is the kangal is a lsgd that protects not hunts so why make out it it gets used to hunt and kill wolves?? What good is a kangal that tries to fight every wolf to the death instead of repelling from the flock
Beautiful dogs. We're blessed to own a Kangal. Aslan who at 27 months is 34" and 135lbs, watches over our acreage and all the critters. He interacts very well with most dogs, only having issues with those who show an aggressive posture towards him. Children are the biggest hit, and he thoroughly enjoys seeing people he knows. All that said, I have seen the Kangal in him, it's quite intimidating and I'm sure he has the power to kill a small animal in the blink of an eye (including dogs), his speed to pure guardian/attack is phenomenal. He thinks way ahead and frequently reads situations far quicker than I. Flock Guardian dogs are not very easy to manage, and many are nearly impossible to train. I discourage any who haven't had direct experience with Giant breeds, particularly of the Guardian variety. We have over 20 years of Irish Wolfhound experience and this Kangal is more challenging than raising Wolfhounds, relative intensity and very mischievous nature, but I wouldn't change him, and we're truly blessed to have him.
I love me some LGDs. My current dog is a Kangal x border collie, though I've had pure guardians as well. She's a handful and I deeply enjoy everything about the guard + herd combo
With a name like Taji, I'd be inclined to say tajikistan sheepdog. My first thought was a pure sarabi dog though. He's very handsome, I love his size too
Did they import these 2 dogs? Btw. I love that you gave that little segment of not everyone being able to have flock guardian dogs. It`s just not possible for everyone.
Yeah sounds about right. I had a lifestock guardian female and she was super cuddly and mild tempered, but she wouldn't let people pet her without the owners permission. A quick WOOWOOWOO would scare many unpermitted petters 😅 except children.. she was gentle with children.
Hi beautiful as always Anikka ,how I wish you could have e come to our country Iran to make video of saraby in its origin but not iran now but iran as it was in past ,love you ,,you are very professional as you are beautiful ❤❤
Great! I’m excited to watch this video. I remember I sent a request to your channel a while ago about a documentary on this magnificent breed. I’m not saying at all that you did it because that note I wrote, nevertheless I’d like to thank you for this new episode❤.
I found this so interesting I have never heard of them before but they are beautiful dogs. I think it’s funny because my 80 pound mutt looks so much like the black dog except of course smaller, mine is German Shepherd, lab and border collie but the mixture looks so much like that dog but again half the size. Now I have never met one of these dogs but was it friendlier than the great Pyrenees? Because those are LGD also??
They are pretty much the foundation of almost all lsg dogs extremely rare and almost extinct and uncomparable to any other breed to be honest. And extremely hard to get your hands on a pure breed, it's crazy to think he owns two
Love the videos as always Ane, but one thing about livestock guardians is they don’t really need to have a chore, I’ve had caucasians for years and I’ve always noticed how they seem to enjoy the smallest things. Mine always loved playing with our younger siblings, they couldn’t get enough of my younger sisters, they always played gentle and would roll themselves over to show they were friendly and playing gently. However, when my younger sister had a party once, a young boy accidentally pushed her over, this enraged our oldest male Caucasian who quickly charged over and barked at the child. From that moment on, we knew these dogs were smarter than we gave credit too, they knew very well the kid was no threat but needed to correct him. We assumed this was the same as a livestock guardian correcting a lambs behaviour.
I had a few Sabi in the past , their temprement are the strongest point , they fight to death , and they are powerful, that's why they are dog fighters fav breed
Yes it is most powerful dog in my country,but unfortunately it's not popular and people mix it with other dogs,so it's hard to find original Sarabi in Iran.
Thank you Animal Watch for granting my request on covering the Sarabi Dog, which is an Ancient breed, probably the Original Mastiff from which all Mastiffs originated from.
Very cool breed! Really good lgd for people who know what they're doing, have training experience and time etc! When raised n trained properly they're awesome just like Caucasian Shepard, alabai, Anatolian Shepard and kangal!
My dad used to have one of these and what a dog! Super loyal and we sadly had to let it go since his grandad said he was too dangerous and too violent even thought he wasn’t :(. Sadly everyone was too scared of him
You are wonderful person Anneka! You are beautiful sorry for your past. My suggestions for future videos: * Rescue Mutts and Moggies. * Rescue greyhounds. * Rescue lurchers. * Beagles and/or other dogs rescued from laboratories. * Dogs (and maybe cats) rescued from the meat trade. * Horses (particularly rescued horses, the dark side of horse racing). * Rescued farm animals. * Goats (particularly rescue goats). * Sakhalin huskies. * Seppala Siberian Sleddogs. * Dingos. * Polar bears. * Red pandas. * Tigers. * Lions. * Reptiles. * Amphibians. * Spiders and arachnophobia. * Insects. * Fish. * Lobsters and other crustaceans. * Woodlice (they are crustaceans). * Moths. * Bats (particularly endangered bats and dispelling bay misconceptions). * Rescue cats.
They are a very nice breed and good looking dogs but the red female appears to have something wrong with her hindquarters. We can see that her right rear leg is shaved, do you know what was wrong with her?
@@Izamota-q5v Yes, it must have been injured. It looks like she may have had a medical procedure done to it. If you didn't notice, try and watch closely at certain points, you will definitely see it. Edit - If you stop the video at around 8:34 or so, you can see her right rear leg is shaved almost from the hip down towards the front portion of that leg.
Am your big fan and follower but am afraid that I have one correction on this video Because as I think in your introduce you put some of wrong pictures from another mastiff breed known as a pejdar ( Kurdish mastiff) I hope you will make an episode of that breed too Thank you for your hard efforts and useful channel And looking forward for your next 😊🙏
Probably not for me...I was looking very strongly towards Kangles, until a trainer said he likened a kangle to a great Pyrenees on steroids, so I got the Great Pyrenees. She lives inside and was basicly bought for personal protection and needed to be animal and small children safe.
Amazing video as usual. A small correction if I may: some of the dogs shown , the ones with uncut ears , are Pshdar dogs, Kurdistan mastiffs, . But they are very similar to Sarabi and related to them.
I'm Iranian and I live in my beautiful country and am proud of it. Thank you for your video. But I want to say something: I agree that there are some dog fighting here like any other place around world,but it's illegal. So it isn't very usual. And everyday you see more people walking with their dogs despite of religious orders. We have 3kind of mastiff dogs,sarabi,kurdish and khorasani...
And I don't agree about this breed is dying out! I see more and more sarabi dogs in gardens, and of course shepherds who are the masters about these dogs,and they are really very accurate about pureness of their dogs.
But these aren't apartment dogs,they definitely are not. So you can't see these dogs in cities, I promise you can't find any breed more powerful and healthy than these dogs, here in Iran people love and honor these dogs and this is a respected dog.
the more "wolf" faced ones in this video are allegedly pure pred sarabi. The more mastiff looking ones are cross bred for thicker bones for dog fighting.

Dogs and Horses allways been looked upon in the Iranian culture and in some religious scripts counsidered them as two heavenly animals, closest friends to mankind and for dogs, if you harmed a dog you could not enter the heaven.
Sarabi dogs and Alabi are two of the most common sheperd dogs in Iran.
When i was a kid i was chased by 3 of these dogs and surprisingly they did follow me to the edge of the farm and stoped, when i looked back i sow 3 huge dogs with necks high up looking at me and not making any movement ,as if they knew they can only be defensive inside the farm area and not leave the farm despite there were no fence or wall between the farm and the open plains around it. Now remember they are sheperd dogs which means they are there to give chase to wolves and kill it after they entered the farm, i just find these dogs really deciplined and honorable in nature.
Beautiful dog. They look closer to wolves than most mastiffs. Really Cool showcase!
Great video. The interactions that you have with Lee Dickinson, Unique Guardians UK and the whole farm is something special.

Thanks for introducing the persian dogs. Unfortunately these dogs are not under an organization in Iran to protect their blood lines and they are mixing a lot as you mentioned. Just may be I mistake bicuse of similarity,The black dog in your video looks a pure persian Ghahdarijani dog( سگ قهدریجانی) a county near Isfahsn not Sarabi, they are also perfect ship dogs and well known in persia.
Sarabi and ghadrijani look alike but only the black colour but the dog in the video is a pure sarabi. It's like the alaskan malamute and siberian husky the alaskan malamute is bigger the husky is smaller
Amazing breed. I thought he misspoke when he said 75kg. But it's true, which is incredible.
Why did they clip their ears though?
They clip their ears do they didn't get bitten in fights.
They can be 100kg my friend
@@jjjiljjjj generally Sarabi dog is for protecting herds. Wolves know that the weak point is their ears. Shepherds clip the ears to protect them against wolves.
The thing is most wolves avoid flocks and go for larger preys like dears, boars and Bisons. However a young inexperienced wolf might try its luck on a flock but are usually deterred by the presence of Sheepdogs. However if the wolf still attacks then it won't have a chance against a full pack of dogs.
This channel is doing great things, you are as rare as the breeds and animals you bring to the world.
Very formidable dog. I am supprised that You reached that far.
Amazing vid ! never actually heard of this breed until this thanks Anneka x
Just to give some clear information on this, you have put 2 breads and gave them the same title, we have
1: the Sarabi bread
2: the Kurdish mustaff known as (Pajdar)
these are very different breads but almost have the same characteristic
The bread that is very rare is Kurdish Mustaff is almost the biger than Sarabi and is goes back in history we have the statues from them that goes back more than 2500 years ago
what is being shown with these two breads is that they are Sarabi breads and not Pajdar but in your clips (2:04) that is Pajdar and you could see the difference between them they have a very different face.
Pajdar is much more gentle with the owner and very even tempered but protective beyound believe and the thick skin on the neck prevents any injurty during the fight, it could be dog fight, wolf fight any fight realy.
and just to complete this info the following are the Persian dog breads that are very unique
1- Sarabi
2- Kurdish mustaff (Pajdar) very rare very large
3- Soloki (is a persian hound) very beautiful dog
4-Sang e sar (another large dog almost as big as sarabi)
5-Ghadr joni (very similar to sarabi but a bit smaller and not even tempered as sarabi)
6-Ghafghazi (Huge dog about 65 to 75 cm and it could get to 140kg)
I hope this helped and thank you for your kind attention
I hope everything is well with you. We all got your back girl. Hang in there.
Ghadarjani is also a cool iranian dog. They're basically xl border collies
I'll Always Love and Protect Hayden Panettiere
I would love to see a video about the Šarplaninac and/or the Mastín español
You should come to Romania to present our Carpatian sheperds.
Super cool species, have never actually seen one or heard of them before. Def look to have some type of shepherd in them, doesn't look like a mastiff breed at all though, at least these two don't.
There are two varieties, one is more like shepherd dog , and other one look like a big kangal can weigh upto 90kg, Google it, coz I don't think these are pure
I believe the Jennings Dog descended from an ancient form of the Sarabi Mastiff.
Enjoyed this one!
What a majestic creature 😮😮😮😮
I love seeing these videos since I already know all these dog breeds I’ve owned a Caucasian shepherd for years but these videos are amazing since they give a lot of great dogs exposure, hopefully they bring some sarabis into Australia I’ve always wanted one
Beautiful guardian dog, just wish they had left the ears intact.
No
They have to cut their ears because in fight with wolves, wolves bite their ears, much more painful
Persian shepherds are amazing I’m so glad you had the chance to see them. These are very small working dogs though I’d like you to see the larger exhibition dogs.
Hello, dogs are gorgeous. Also look at shepherds dogs from Romania, Bucovina shepherds, Raven shepherds,etc. Have a nice day
It’s not persian it’s from Turkic azarbayjan city sarab
@@firouzabedi1634 Azerbaijan has always been with Ēran. Shirvan/Arān also, but you are staying as guests there atm.
It's not persian in fact it's azerbaijani
@@yaghihaftkhat6440 ok thanks the more I know now I guess
Wow thank you so much for doing this. I am obsessed with LSGD and own 3 of there rarer breeds but even j had nit heard of these guys. So amazing to see working LSGF, mine are working so interact with farm animals and also lay in the sofa and walk in public. Such magical beings are LSGD.
Sarabi are the rarest most lsg actually come from them it's crazy to actually think he has them because they are literally so close to extinction
wolves hunt in packs at night. When the wolves start to howl, the dogs will know what is coming and they will run away immediately. These dogs lack the courage to face wolves. That's why you can't see these dogs meeting wolves at night. show me an example if i'm wrong . 12 - 05 I want to see dogs fighting wolves during wolves hunting hours. These dogs average between 90 and 110 kg and can run very slowly. It is almost impossible for them to catch a wolf in their natural habitat. In many countries in the Middle East, they shoot the wolf and throw it injured in front of the dogs. Dogs of 90 kg have problems with their lungs and get tired quickly and give up. ( anatolian shepherd, malaklı, caucasian shepherd, alabai, sarabi, volkodav, ) none of these dogs can run 5km. If you see these dogs fighting a wolf, know that they shot the wolf and threw it in front of the dogs. the wolf walks 50 km a day in its natural environment it is hunted all its life red meat fed muscle mass it is impossible to catch a wolf let alone fight. this is why almost all of the dog wolf videos fighting wolves at night are kangal. A kangal working in the mountains walks 40-50 km a day. It is active at night by nature and likes to patrol its area, you can often see it encountering wolves. It is between 55 -75 kg on average, just like a wolf. back to our topic, every country loves its dog and every country likes to exaggerate its dog. The wolf population in the Americas is almost 10 times higher than the wolf population in Turkey. But you can't see dogs fighting wolves in America. Despite the fact that there is a very high population of wolves and dogs in Russia, Iran in Europe, dogs are not reflected in the cameras because they are afraid at night. If these dogs are wolf killers, why are they never seen on camera? sarabi vs wolf ? I have a video, I've saved it now, while the wolf attacks the cows in Iran, the dog is scared and runs away ( sarabi )
@TÜRKİYE HAYVANLAR your just not making any sense
1st of all there's no video of a sarabi attacking a wolf and I am pretty sure they can kill a wolf depending on the type
Secondly there's no other race of wolf In iran apart from a Indian wolf which can weigh around 50 pounds and can easily be killed by a sarabi you can't compare a kangal to a sarabi kangals were creates by using the blood of a sarabi you know nothing about the breed barely anyone does also these two look very fit and fast
@@WildAnatolia-3-6-9 why do so many turks make out the kangal is the one and only wolf killer?? I have never seen a video of a KANGAL killing a wolf 1 v 1 its just videos of KANGALS ragging a dead wolf or a pack attacking ONE wolf! There is thousands of videos of wolves doing kangals tho init!!! I was told before that the malakli finishes the wolf off after the kangal traps it that why the malakli doesnt need to run fast!! Fact is the kangal is a lsgd that protects not hunts so why make out it it gets used to hunt and kill wolves?? What good is a kangal that tries to fight every wolf to the death instead of repelling from the flock
Beautiful dogs. We're blessed to own a Kangal. Aslan who at 27 months is 34" and 135lbs, watches over our acreage and all the critters. He interacts very well with most dogs, only having issues with those who show an aggressive posture towards him. Children are the biggest hit, and he thoroughly enjoys seeing people he knows. All that said, I have seen the Kangal in him, it's quite intimidating and I'm sure he has the power to kill a small animal in the blink of an eye (including dogs), his speed to pure guardian/attack is phenomenal. He thinks way ahead and frequently reads situations far quicker than I. Flock Guardian dogs are not very easy to manage, and many are nearly impossible to train. I discourage any who haven't had direct experience with Giant breeds, particularly of the Guardian variety. We have over 20 years of Irish Wolfhound experience and this Kangal is more challenging than raising Wolfhounds, relative intensity and very mischievous nature, but I wouldn't change him, and we're truly blessed to have him.
I love me some LGDs. My current dog is a Kangal x border collie, though I've had pure guardians as well. She's a handful and I deeply enjoy everything about the guard + herd combo
سگ کنگال همون سگ سرابیه ایرانه که شماها اسمشو عوض کردین
With a name like Taji, I'd be inclined to say tajikistan sheepdog. My first thought was a pure sarabi dog though. He's very handsome, I love his size too
I think you would like the American Bulldog. They come in 2 basic types.
Any breeders or kennels in the USA?
Amazing breed great video
Did they import these 2 dogs? Btw. I love that you gave that little segment of not everyone being able to have flock guardian dogs. It`s just not possible for everyone.
Finally a video about sarabi dogs
Yeah sounds about right. I had a lifestock guardian female and she was super cuddly and mild tempered, but she wouldn't let people pet her without the owners permission. A quick WOOWOOWOO would scare many unpermitted petters 😅 except children.. she was gentle with children.
Hi beautiful as always Anikka ,how I wish you could have e come to our country Iran to make video of saraby in its origin but not iran now but iran as it was in past ,love you ,,you are very professional as you are beautiful ❤❤
Excellent video as always eagerly waiting video on primitive breed American Akita
I made a video on the Akita 3 years ago. It’s in my play list 👍
@Animal Watch I know have watched all videos just wanted more wisdom on American Akita 🙏🏼
Great! I’m excited to watch this video. I remember I sent a request to your channel a while ago about a documentary on this magnificent breed. I’m not saying at all that you did it because that note I wrote, nevertheless I’d like to thank you for this new episode❤.
Beautiful Dog. Happy St. Paddy's Day! 😎👍
I found this so interesting I have never heard of them before but they are beautiful dogs. I think it’s funny because my 80 pound mutt looks so much like the black dog except of course smaller, mine is German Shepherd, lab and border collie but the mixture looks so much like that dog but again half the size.
Now I have never met one of these dogs but was it friendlier than the great Pyrenees? Because those are LGD also??
They are pretty much the foundation of almost all lsg dogs extremely rare and almost extinct and uncomparable to any other breed to be honest. And extremely hard to get your hands on a pure breed, it's crazy to think he owns two
@@raiderkrane720 I don’t think my dog is one that’s not what I was trying to say. I just found it how similar they looked was crazy.
Love the videos as always Ane, but one thing about livestock guardians is they don’t really need to have a chore, I’ve had caucasians for years and I’ve always noticed how they seem to enjoy the smallest things. Mine always loved playing with our younger siblings, they couldn’t get enough of my younger sisters, they always played gentle and would roll themselves over to show they were friendly and playing gently. However, when my younger sister had a party once, a young boy accidentally pushed her over, this enraged our oldest male Caucasian who quickly charged over and barked at the child. From that moment on, we knew these dogs were smarter than we gave credit too, they knew very well the kid was no threat but needed to correct him. We assumed this was the same as a livestock guardian correcting a lambs behaviour.
WOW???!What a prrety dog???!
A beautiful dog
I had a few Sabi in the past , their temprement are the strongest point , they fight to death , and they are powerful, that's why they are dog fighters fav breed
The best looking dog ever
Yes it is most powerful dog in my country,but unfortunately it's not popular and people mix it with other dogs,so it's hard to find original Sarabi in Iran.
Thank you Animal Watch for granting my request on covering the Sarabi Dog, which is an Ancient breed, probably the Original Mastiff from which all Mastiffs originated from.
100%
Interesting that they look so different from each other.
Very cool breed! Really good lgd for people who know what they're doing, have training experience and time etc! When raised n trained properly they're awesome just like Caucasian Shepard, alabai, Anatolian Shepard and kangal!
We have in iran . Sarabi , pezhdar, ghadrejani, khorasani ,salouki . You show pezhdar in some videos. You have good sarabi .
My dad used to have one of these and what a dog! Super loyal and we sadly had to let it go since his grandad said he was too dangerous and too violent even thought he wasn’t :(. Sadly everyone was too scared of him
alabi and sarabi is in north iran 2 strong dog over 75 k the used this dog in army
They are absolutely beautiful
You are wonderful person Anneka! You are beautiful sorry for your past.
My suggestions for future videos:
* Rescue Mutts and Moggies.
* Rescue greyhounds.
* Rescue lurchers.
* Beagles and/or other dogs rescued from laboratories.
* Dogs (and maybe cats) rescued from the meat trade.
* Horses (particularly rescued horses, the dark side of horse racing).
* Rescued farm animals.
* Goats (particularly rescue goats).
* Sakhalin huskies.
* Seppala Siberian Sleddogs.
* Dingos.
* Polar bears.
* Red pandas.
* Tigers.
* Lions.
* Reptiles.
* Amphibians.
* Spiders and arachnophobia.
* Insects.
* Fish.
* Lobsters and other crustaceans.
* Woodlice (they are crustaceans).
* Moths.
* Bats (particularly endangered bats and dispelling bay misconceptions).
* Rescue cats.
And LGBTQ!
I'm persian and this dog is very popular between Persians
Ayo anneka, could you do a video on the kuvasz dog breed? 💖
Thanks for update sister 😻
We used to have a sarabi dog in iran , very loyal dog
What a beautiful woman. The dog was alright too.
That black dog is gorgeous! 🤩
They are a very nice breed and good looking dogs but the red female appears to have something wrong with her hindquarters. We can see that her right rear leg is shaved, do you know what was wrong with her?
Looks like she's just growing fast
@@raiderkrane720
Yeah, could be but did you see that her leg was shaved?
I didnt notice it was shaved i thought injured or displasia
@@Izamota-q5v
Yes, it must have been injured. It looks like she may have had a medical procedure done to it. If you didn't notice, try and watch closely at certain points, you will definitely see it.
Edit - If you stop the video at around 8:34 or so, you can see her right rear leg is shaved almost from the hip down towards the front portion of that leg.
Beautiful strong dog. I'd love to have one if I lived in the Country. In my case that'd be upstate New York.
كم احب هذه المرأه واتشوق لكل فديوا لكي اراها فاتنه❤❤❤❤😙❤👉
Am your big fan and follower but am afraid that I have one correction on this video
Because as I think in your introduce you put some of wrong pictures from another mastiff breed known as a pejdar ( Kurdish mastiff)
I hope you will make an episode of that breed too
Thank you for your hard efforts and useful channel
And looking forward for your next 😊🙏
Probably not for me...I was looking very strongly towards Kangles, until a trainer said he likened a kangle to a great Pyrenees on steroids, so I got the Great Pyrenees. She lives inside and was basicly bought for personal protection and needed to be animal and small children safe.
Amazing video as usual. A small correction if I may: some of the dogs shown , the ones with uncut ears , are Pshdar dogs, Kurdistan mastiffs, . But they are very similar to Sarabi and related to them.
کردستان برای ایرانه دیگه نام استان را نمیگن
Does the female have an injury, growing pains or a bad hip? She seems light on the right hind. They are BOTH gorgeous.
This breed is best❤
Beautiful dogs..love the back one...he's big...qow...
I'm Iranian and I live in my beautiful country and am proud of it. Thank you for your video. But I want to say something: I agree that there are some dog fighting here like any other place around world,but it's illegal. So it isn't very usual. And everyday you see more people walking with their dogs despite of religious orders. We have 3kind of mastiff dogs,sarabi,kurdish and khorasani...
And I don't agree about this breed is dying out! I see more and more sarabi dogs in gardens, and of course shepherds who are the masters about these dogs,and they are really very accurate about pureness of their dogs.
But these aren't apartment dogs,they definitely are not. So you can't see these dogs in cities, I promise you can't find any breed more powerful and healthy than these dogs, here in Iran people love and honor these dogs and this is a respected dog.
They are dying our very hard to get a pure bred sarabi
@@alisalari5093 is it true that people cross breed them with other dogs? Is there any pure Sarabi dogs around or are they dying out?
Magnificent 🎉❤❤
How come the dogs in the other videos look more “mastiff” like though? Which is the pure one? Rounder faced or the wolf faced ones in this video?
the more "wolf" faced ones in this video are allegedly pure pred sarabi. The more mastiff looking ones are cross bred for thicker bones for dog fighting.
Can you please do a video on the beauceron
Some of the photos weren't Sarabi , hanging lips one were Pejdar, Kurdish regene of Iran and Iraq, they are also big and strong
Top premier league players should have these sarabi dogs!
Best livestock gaurdian dog in world.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 amazing breed
Knew this from years. They are also very agressive .
I used to breed and show Great Danes.Wouldn`t want any other large breed.
👍👍👍👏👏 felicitaciones, hermoso video 🇦🇷
They seem rare, beautiful breed
