my B I L actually herds sheep, using a set of massive Russian dogs (don't know the proper name) - but the bloody things are as big as a pony.

Curacachans? Those things are gnarly.

From upthread

near as I can tell the dog was a Komondor - or mostly so,

The coat was the thing I keyed upon. That and size.

My son owns a Great Pyrenees (that has a tad of St Barnard thrown in) - he needs a snow shovel to clean up after the beast. His better half sleeps well at night when he is working.
