In-depth From a news agency Context piece
  • The Heramii kennel in Kallaste, Võru County, is raising eight three-month-old Caucasian Shepherd puppies.
  • The kennel houses about 50 adult dogs, whose barking and howling can be heard across the surrounding area.

Eight three-month-old Caucasian Shepherd puppies came charging into their pen under their mother’s watchful eye at the Heramii kennel in Kallaste, Võru County.

“Fluffballs! Good children!” kennel owner Nele Mals called out to the puppies as they rushed around. Their cheerful yapping soon joined a deep chorus from roughly 50 adult dogs at the kennel.

Fluffballs! Good children!

· Nele MalsThe kennel owner called to the eight puppies as they rushed into their pen.

The Caucasian Shepherds make themselves heard whenever strangers pass the house or enter the yard. Even combines working in the fields can stir their excitement.

But the kennel’s barking chorus is nothing compared with the howling that can carry for dozens of kilometres on a quiet evening. “They are more likely to sing melodically,” said the kennel’s other owner, Lily Mals.

They are more likely to sing melodically.

· Lily MalsThe kennel’s other owner described the dogs’ distant howling.
