COOP Jednota TV ad with appearances by Duncho -- "sheep + chickens + bees"

This TV ad from Slovakia has a few appearances from Duncho (Dunčo), the Slovak Chuvach (Čuvač), a Kuvasz "cousin."

The sign on the chicken coop says "beware of cocks," with a drawing of a very fierce-looking rooster.


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,” as is the Slovak Chuvach (Čuvač).
