Hiking
Sheep farmer Theo De Cock from Ranst uses Turkish Kangals to protect his flock of sheep.
During the day they lie inconspicuously in the meadow behind the power grid (except when walkers with a dog pass by). It is mainly at night that they come into action to guard and protect the sheep.
Theo De Cock was discredited in 2019 because he had equipped his kangals with collars with metal pins, so that they could not suffer neck bites in the event of a wolf attack.
