WillThink4Wine said...: I've often wondered why a pet owner (or breeder) would choose to have (or breed such a labor intensive breed such as this. Isn't owning and caring for pets already riddled with responsibility and chores?; January 11, 2009 10:37 AM

Karen said...: A friend of mine had one of those dogs ... if I remember correctly, it's called a Komondor.

It was a great dog, but kind of resembles a walking floor mop !!; January 12, 2009 6:52 AM
