This is from the Columbus Zoo in Ohio, which is another organization that has a program to help farmers in Namibia in Africa keep cheetahs away from their livestock in a humane way.
These LGDs are Anatolian Shepherds.

About the family of Livestock Guardian Dogs...
“To this day flocks are guarded in the hills of Asia, Europe and Africa by powerful, robust dogs that are neither clumsy nor pacific. Despite the distances that separate them these breeds have much in common, and the Kuvasz is a member of this extended sheepdog family.”
From: Dr. Tibor Buzády, Dogs of Hungary, trans. Bernard Adams, Budapest, Hungary: Nóra Kiadó, 2002, p. 90.
