Kuvasz "cousin" - young Kom at show

 This young Kom won Best of Opposite Sex at a recent show, the The Norwegian Breed Special Hungarian Guard- and Herding Dogs show.
Congratulations! Thanks to Bjørn Olav of Fjellflokken Kuvasztenyészet Kennel in Norway for sharing this.



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.
