SATISFACTION GUARANTEED

RELATED CONTENT

Despite the extra effort involved in training and caring for a Komondor, the Redpaths pronounce themselves completely satisfied after the first three years with their guard dog. Even though Pandy still occasionally leaves her post to return to the house, she is doing her job in her own way: The Redpath flock has remained unharmed since Pandy's arrival, while sheep farmers in the area who use noncanine defense measures continue to suffer losses. "Many a night," says Joan, "I've been awakened from a dead sleep to hear Pandy bulleting down the field, barking and keeping the predators back.

"She's worth the price of my entire flock," Pandy's owner declares . . . and that's a mighty good endorsement for the Komondor!

EDITOR'S NOTE: While a Komondor can indeed be an amazingly efficient "sheep patrol", the dogs aren't inexpensive: Well-bred, registered Komondors start at $400. Nor are they terribly easy to obtain, . . . only about 30 registered litters are produced in the U.S. each year. However, if you're interested in the breed, you can contact the official Komondor organization for free information and a list of breeders. (You may also want to subscribe to the society's official bi-monthly newsletter, Komondor News . . . which is available—for $12 annually in the U. S. or $14 in Canada or Mexico—frorn the same address.) Write to Middle Atlantic States Komondor Club, Dept. TMEN, 102 Russell Road, Princeton, New Jersey 08540 . . . and please enclose a dollar or two to cover the expenses of the information packet they'll send you.
