So Luke and I went to the AWA walk (AWA=Animal Welfare Association) and saw lots and lots of dog breeds. I always like going there, went there with Poco and now Luke. Luke loves seeing, sniffing, and sometimes playing with the other dogs. We saw common breeds such as Goldens, Labs, Bichons, etc, but we saw (we as in my father and I) saw two rare breeds.
I knew one, but was wrong on the other. I went up to the one lady and asked if her dog was a Kuvasz. I was right! You can tell a Kuvasz by looking at the muzzle, it's very narrow. She was beautiful, I've never seen one. They're so pretty and calm. The other dogs, I didn't get a chance to ask the owner what they were, but I thought they were Cane Corsos. So last night I went online and remembered what they looked like, they weren't Cane Corsos.
They looked more like a (built, color, etc) a Presa Canario or someone can call them Canary Dogs. Wow, so we saw two of them! I've never seen them before either. So that was cool. The Kuvasz and Luke were good, not sure if I let Luke sniff the Canary dogs. They may be good, but they look frightening!
Here's what both look like if you're unsure. Kuvasz: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kuvasz
Is this not the cuttest Kuvasz puppy you've ever seen: aboutzoo.net/dogs/en/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/Kuvasz_Prince_Thor_01.jpg
And here is a shot of their muzzle, see how narrow it is, say compared to a Lab?

And here is the Presa Canario: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perro_de_Presa_Canario
^The ones we saw were very dark in color and one had downed ears and a tail, while the other one had cropped ears and a docked tail. Both were huge!!
Anyway we had fun and that was the cool part. But it was very dusty there, Luke went from being a white dog to a semi-white/gray dog.
