    abstract = {In this study, a total of 38 adult female and male Kangal dogs were used for craniometric measurements. Average facial width was found 13.09&plusmn;0.202 mm for females, 14.84 &plusmn; 0.197 mm for males (p&lt;0.01).  Average  facial  and  skull  index were found as 122.22&plusmn;3.709 mm, 55.213&plusmn;0.984 mm for females, 134.26&plusmn;3.470 mm and 60.14 &plusmn; 1.080 mm  for  males, respectively. Body weights for females and males were 34.27&plusmn;0.944 kg and 43.43&plusmn;1.330 kg. The ratio of skull length to facial width was 1.0:0.55 for females, 1.0:0.60 for males. In conclusion, Kangal dogs can be considered in dolichocephalic group, according to the value of skull length/ facial width ratio.}
