Yes, Turkish Kangals are legal to own in the UK and are not on the list of banned breeds under the Dangerous Dogs Act, which prohibits breeds such as the Pit Bull Terrier and Japanese Tosa.

Turkish Kangals can make good family dogs for experienced owners who understand their protective nature and large size, as they are loyal and calm with proper training and socialisation, but may not be suitable for casual pet owners.
