This is a video of modern LGDs doing the work that LGDs, including Kuvasz, have done for hundreds and thousands of years. This was taken in the Tusheti region of Georgia.
Hans Heiner Buhr, who took this video, owns Kaukasus-Reisen Adventure Trips. He provides info about visiting this region as a tourist -- skiing, hiking, horseback riding, mountain biking, bird watching, visiting cattle bazaars, taking photography workshops, taking wine and culinary tours, and more.

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, Dogs of Hungary, trans. Bernard Adams, Budapest, Hungary: Nóra Kiadó, 2002, p. 90.
