Komondors:
love you all the way!
Awesome beauties!
King of the Hungarian livestock guarding dogs, the Komondor is one of the most unusual breeds seen in the world. This large muscular dog is covered with dense, white cords. The coat protects the dog against the elements and predators of their homeland, Hungary. Colour of their coat is white, but not always the pure white of a brushed coat (like you would see in the Samoyed breed). A small amount of cream or buff shading is sometimes seen in puppies, but fades with maturity. For the working Komondor, the white coat allows the dog to mingle unnoticed among the sheep while allowing the shepherd to see him at night.
Pet hygiene: is it simply a bath?
We love our dogs for many reasons—they’re confidants, walking partners and companions. But what if your life depends on a dog every single day? This is what it means for a person to have a Guide Dog. It may be the best example yet of the reciprocal relationship between humans and dogs. US-based ‘Guide Dogs for the Blind’ provides a place for Guide Dogs and blind people to come together in the presence of top trainers and dedicated volunteers. Here’s more on this noble organisation.
