 Kuvasz Dog

The Kuvasz is a that is very protective, and has plenty of courage, and determination. The Kuvasz will be very protective of adults, children, and pets in his own family, but can be very wary, distrustful, and overprotective when strangers - adults or children - are around. The Kuvasz can also be aggressive with strange animals in a bid to protect his family and his territory. Early socialization is important with the Kuvasz dog, and when it comes to training he is a quick learner and is intelligent. However, the Kuvasz can be dominant and can get bored easily, and is best suited to an experienced owners who can be assertive, confident, and provide plenty of variety when it comes to physical and mental stimulation

The Kuvasz Dog
Kuvasz is short for Hungarian Kuvasz, a large and well-muscled sheepdog common in Hungary. It has a white double coat which is both furry and medium-coarse. The hair is short on the head and feet but dense and wavy in the legs and body and can reach length of up to 4 to 6 inches. Against this white coat is a dark skin. It has medium-sized eyes, V-shaped ears, and large black nose. This agile has a well-tucked lower abdomen.

The Kuvasz Dog Skills
The ancient and noble heritage of the Kuvasz, bred by the Hungarians for over 2,000 years. In line with Hungary’s history, the Kuvasz were bred as livestock guardians, as well as hunting , herding and as a war-dog. Today, their agility, endurance and natural ancient abilities make them ideal for guarding livestock.

The Kuvasz Dog Personality
The Kuvasz dog, being an intelligent dog, is both a wonderful pet and working dog. With an experienced owner-trainer, it is easy to housebreak. However, it may not

pass easily to obedience training since, owning to the nature of the job it assumes, it is very independent (of men) and can be very strong willed. Harsh and police training types are thus not suitable for this breed. As a sheepdog, it is highly protective, diligent, and fierce even against enemies like wolves. As a pet, it is highly devoted, caring, gentle and patient. Still, it must be supervised when around with kids and family friends.

The Kuvasz Exercise Needs
The Kuvasz needs plenty of vigorous outdoor exercise daily. A highly active lifestyle will avert this dog’s tendency to chew and dig.

The Kuvasz Living Conditions
Apartment life is not the best condition for the Kuvasz. It is an active and a large yard will make it happy. Keeping it leashed can also make it destructive. Warm and humid weather conditions are also not ideal for this thickly coated dog. Plenty of water and shade are vital provisions.

The Kuvasz Grooming Requirements
Weekly brushing will suffice. Interestingly, this is one breed that should not be bathed often, for it naturally sheds off dirt. Bathing it often will rid of the coat’s natural oils responsible for this innate dirt-shedding function. Instead, it should be brushed frequently. A cleaning strategy often employed by Kuvasz owners is applying talcum powder or cornstarch into the coat then brushing it out.

The Kuvasz Health Issues
This breed is vulnerable to hip dysplasia. Minor health concerns include joint-related problems, skin conditions, and allergic reactions.
