The lips are fairly tight and always black. The Kangal Dog has a complete set of large, evenly spaced, white teeth meeting in a scissors or level bite. Broken teeth resulting from field work are not to be penalized. The nose is large and solid black. The eyes are medium sized, somewhat round, set well apart and show no haw.
Eye color ranges from deep brown to amber.
Eye rims are black. The ears are pendant, medium sized, triangular in shape and rounded at the tips. The ears are set even with the outside corners of the skull. When alert, the ears may be carried slightly higher. The front edge of the ear is carried close to the cheek and, when pulled forward, the ears should amply cover the dog's eyes.
