Meet Bunny!

Meet Bunny who lives in Florida and just LOVES the water! Enjoy these pictures of Audrey and Bunny on a recent trip to the beach. If these pictures don’t make you smile…

A note from Bunny’s guardian,

Bunny is 9 and will be 10 in February.  She joined our family when she was 1 year old.  We were shopping at one of the super market pet stores in Daytona for our two other rescue dogs and fish.  Bunny was at the door with her two humans.  Our daughters (elementary and middle school age) ran to her and fell in love.  The owners were looking for a new home for Bunny They were keeping her in the garage because their other dog (some little snot dog) was mean to Bunny.

When I made it to the Bunny Love Fest, I said “NO, Definitely not.  We do not need a third dog.”

My husband took their phone number and we picked Bunny up from their garage three days later. Best decision ever.

Audrey and Bunny go to New Smyrna Beach.  The pics are at the dog park at New Smyrna Beach.

Thanks for all you do for such a wonderful breed.

KOMONDOR RESCUE ALERT – BALTIMORE, MD

We need to find home(s) for two female Komondors, ages 3 & 6. They reside near Baltimore, Maryland. Please contact  for more information.

I have two female Koms that sadly I have to find a new home for. One is turning 3 years old on June 1st and the other one is around 6 years old (rescued her from a shelter). Leela, the 3 year old, is good with other dogs/cats and good with kids, she is hyper as most puppies are. Barley, the 6 year old, would be best in a home without other dogs; she was mistreated in her last home and so she has some food aggression but she is calm and really lovable just as long as the other dogs don’t go around her food. We are located in Maryland.

Komondor Watercolor On Tumblr

Found a fun Komondor photo this morning on Tumblr. Google Translate reads that this is a watercolor from an unknown painter in Texas, “A sheepdog waiting in front of the kiosk.” and mentions the name “Rachel Orban”. Guess this is the lady in the photo? Not sure how much Kikáltási price: 2000000 EUR translates to.

The Daring Escape of the Misfit Menagerie

A new book has just been released that features our breed, “Rigby” the Komondor, who is one of the “misfits” in this Adventure children’s book (age 8+/grade 3+).

“Smalls the sun bear and his friends are an unusual bunch. That’s why they’re known as the Misfit Menagerie. The four oddball animals live on Mr. Mumford’s farm, where they play games and do tricks for neighborhood children. It’s an idyllic existence–until a cruel circus owner named Claude Magnificence comes to town, and life as they know it ends. The Menagerie is snatched away to a traveling circus, where Claude and his buffoonish sidekicks force them to perform death-defying tricks.

At the circus, Smalls and his friends only have slop to eat. They live in filthy, cramped cages. And they’re bullied by a rough band of trained animals called the Lifers. It’s worse than awful–it’s despicable! But then young Bertie Magnificence comes along, and he and Smalls form the kind of friendship that inspires hope. They decide that something needs to change…and fast. With the help of an acrobat named Susan, Smalls and Bertie set in motion a heroic plan.

Can a lonely boy and a misfit bear hoodwink cruel Claude and save an entire circus of captive animals?”Amazon.com book description

This novel is listed on Amazon as #1 in a series- “Misfit Menagerie (Book 1)”, and Amazon even has it as one of Middle Grade (Kids & Teens) category, Editor’s pick, “Best Books of the Month“!

Partial review from Kirkus Review,

Years ago, stories of boys running away from home to join the circus were popular. This tale turns tail as an indentured boy and “misfit” animals try to run away from the circus.

The title sets up the plot, so readers know what will eventually happen. The misfits are Bertie, 11; Smalls, a long-tongued honey bear; Rigby, a moplike white Komondor dog; Tilda, a white Angora rabbit; and Wombat, a hairy-nosed wombat who’s in love with Tilda.

Komondor, Strange Dog Breed?

Thanksgiving each year brings with it the National Dog Show by Purina and our breed for its unique coat is often a chance for many to see the Komondor the only time of the year. But “Strange”, really? We do, however, like the attention. :)


Steve Donahue, See Spot Run Photography

“With her corded white coat, the Komondor, a livestock guardian breed hailing from Hungary, resembles a dog-shaped mop. Her coat helps her blend in with her flock and protects her from weather extremes and the attacks of predators. The cords are naturally-occurring and should develop by the time she is 2 years old.”
