Chili Dog
Posted on January 10, 2010
Before I had to leave Germany again, I got to photograph this beautiful Hovawart. And I’m not only happy about that because Chili is a great model but also because she is of a breed that is not very well known over here in the states. Hovawarts are a german breed and are bred to be “estate guard dogs”. I knew that part, what I didn’t know was that their name actually means “estate guard dog”. (Gotta be some old german, cause I think I know the current german pretty well). Nowadays they have spread over other European countries but are still rare in the United States. Their colors are black and gold like Chili, all black and all blond. The blond version kind of reminds me of a golden retriever, but the real Hovawart fan will probably roll their eyes at this comparision 
All I can say about the breed is what I have learned from Chili. She is super sweet and friendly and soooo soft! I could have cuddled with her forever. So here are a few album spreads of this beautiful girl.

What a beautiful dog. He kind of looks like our English Shepherds. Good job on the images and getting the little details.
