Dunčo the Slovak Čuvač is back! This supermarket in Slovakia has had Dunčo as its mascot for many years. Click here to see the ad: COOP Jednota 2024 ad "Paw Patrol"
I think this might not be the original Čuvač, but rather may be the puppy that first appeared in Nov. 2019. Click here to see the ad with the puppy: COOPJednota/videos/2019 Maybe the ad agency just used several Čuvač over the years, the way Lassie and Rin Tin Tin were played by different dogs.
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.
