Dogs with sheep in China

This is the first post of sheep in China to ever appear on this blog. There are dogs that look like medium-sized herding dogs in these pics but I didn't see any LGDs.  I thought I might never get a photo of dogs and sheep in China, but here it is! Hopefully a pic of an LGD in China will appear sometime.

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. Buzády Tibor. 2002. Dogs of Hungary. Translated by Bernard Adams. Budapest, Hungary: Nóra Kiadó.  P. 100.
