Coat:
The Kuvasz has a very sturdy
double coat. The outercoat should always remain
moderately coarse, and should never be smooth. The
undercoat is fine, soft, and somewhat silky. This
breed may have either a straight or wavy coat.
Overview:
The Kuvasz is incredibly
intelligent, is very devoted and loyal, and makes an
excellent working dog. This breed does have a strong
protective instinct over his family and territory,
which makes him a good watchdog.
Character:
The Kuvasz is somewhat
suspicious of strangers and requires much
socialization to avoid shyness or aggressiveness. A
very obedient breed, this dog is very willing to
protect his family no matter what the circumstances.
Temperament:
This breed has been used
in herding so he does have a protective instinct,
which makes him not quite right for the average
family. However, he can do well with children
providing they are always supervised. The Kuvasz is
also very gentle and affectionate towards his
family.
Care:
The Kuvasz should be brushed on a
regular basis all the way down to the undercoat.
This will remove excess hair during shedding, and
will keep the hair free from mats. This breed does
best in colder climates mentally, and physically. In
warmer climates, the Kuvasz tends to shed quite a
bit all year round, while in cooler weather, he
sheds seasonally.
Training:
This breed is naturally very
intelligent and obedient, however he should require
a firm handler yet gentle training as this breed can
be sensitive to the tone of your voice. The Kuvasz
does remarkably well in herding and obedience.
Activity:
The Kuvasz should have
regular exercise, preferably daily. This breed bores
easily and can become destructive without the proper
entertainment, so he should always have room to run.
A medium fenced yard will suffice.
