The Kuvasz (plural is Kuvaszok)
is a working dog of larger size, sturdily built, well balanced, neither lanky
nor cobby. Their weight is evenly dispersed on the body, and they largely resemble
the Slovakian Kuvasz. They have medium to long fur that requires grooming. They
are white in color with no markings. They have medium length drop ears, and
a bushy tail. They impress the eye with their strength and activity. A one-family
dog, they are extremely loyal, obedient, active and strong but wary of strangers.
They are an excellent guard dog, which is what they have been bred for. The
Kuvasz needs plenty of exercise, and training would certainly be beneficial.
Kuvaszok are wary of strangers, but polite. They can, however, misinterpret
rough play for threatening behavior and will act accordingly. A powerful breed,
the Kuvasz is impressive in appearance, strength and personality.
