Change language:
The most-known Hungarian dog breeds are pumi, puli, mudi, kuvasz, vizsla or komondor. Most of them are shepherd dogs or hunting dogs. In this article, you will know about the ‘new’ Hungarian dog breed, Sinka. It is also a shepherd dog, but much a much faster and more muscular dog breed, than the lovely puli, for instance.
The athletic Hungarian dog
Sinka is a quite young family member of Hungarian dog breeds; it is the youngest, actually, reports 24.hu. The mixed breed was ‘created’ at Hortobány (Hungarian lowland) from already mixed dogs and also boyers, German shepherds and some dogs with ‘bull’ in its name.
The population is around 1 – 2000. Shepherds think it is the ideal number for the population because it is not yet so popular that non-shepherds would choose them because of the dog’s looks. The Sinka is still strong and hard-working, yet human-loving dog, also like kuvasz, vizsla or puli.
