Baby Racka

 Anja of Védelmezo Északi Kedves Kuvasz Kennel in Germany shares this photo of her Racka sheep. The lamb has nubs on the top of his head which will grow to be the characteristic spiraled horns of the adult Racka.

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.”
