In this study. 7 male and 4 female healthy Kangal dogs 1-3 aged were used as a material. The required blood for haematological examination were acquired from V. cephalica antebrachii.

The mean red blood cell (RBC) count, the mean haemoglobin amount (Hb) and haematocrit value (PVC) were determined to be 7.17x10⁶/mm³, 17.46 g/dI and 51.74 %, respectively in male dogs, while the same parameters in female dogs were found to be 6.87x10⁶/mm³, 16.62 g/dl and 49.08 %. respectively.

On the other hand, mean corpusculer volume (MCV), mean corpusculer Hb (MCH) and mean corpusculer haemoglobin concentration (MCHC) values were rather similar to each other, in male and female dogs.

Blood platelet count in male dogs were determined slightly higher than female dogs whereas white cell count were found lightly higher in female than male dogs.

pH, pO₂, pCO₂ and HCO₃ levels were found to be 7.36, 46.85 mmHg. 46.96 mmHg and 23.30 mEq/L in male dogs whereas the same values were determined 7.35. 47.04, 48.28 and 23.25 in female dogs, respectively. Total CO₂, O₂ saturation, O₂ content base excess and plasma electrolytes (Na⁺, K⁺, Ca⁺⁺ values determined in male and female dogs were in normal range and were close to each other.
