Kuvasz "cousin" - Anatolian is "The Bodyguard"

Sheri in Texas shares this photo and story with us.
"This is the first lambing for my two 8 month old Anatolian pups. They aren't allowed without supervision, but they definitely have figured out their role."  This is young Jury, handling his role beautifully.


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.”
