Anna in Sweden shares this photo of her Komondor Özi.
What a beautiful coat Özi has. It's short enough to care for, but long enough to show the traditional shape of the cords. And he can see! With the cords on his head and face pulled up into a topknot, he can see us and we can see his beautiful dark eyes.
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 and the Komondor are members of this extended sheepdog family.”
