Action photos -- Zora

Amber Kunz Huron Kuvasz in Ontario shares these photos of Zora. Zora and her owner Norm Ryall live in New Brunswick.

Amber writes, "Zora looks just like an arctic fox when they hunt for lemmings moving or burrowing underneath the snow, and once their prey is located, they jump several feet in the air and nose dive into the snow to catch its prey."

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.”
