Westminster Kennel Club show 2016 - Pandur

I took these photos of Pandur with his handler Teresa at the Westminster dog show at Madison Square Garden in New York City where Pandur won Breed.
Congratulations!

For an unknown reason, Kuvaszok who participate in American Kennel Club shows are required to have the dog's curls brushed out. Pandur's coat is just right for the AKC shows, but he still has lovely curls/waves/whorls in daily life.

“The coat of the Kuvasz is very attractive, and for the sake of the breed great attention must be paid to the coat when judging.”

“The hair should be neither excessively curly nor straight, but should...have waves and swirls."
