The Kuvasz (or Hungarian Sheepdog) is of ancient Hungarian origin, they were bred to guard livestock.

Appearance
They are large white dogs with wavy fur, black noses, and almond shaped eyes. They are larger than the average Labrador Retriever. Their facial features are very similar to those of a Golden Retriever, however their build is larger.

Temperament
The Kuvasz can be a loyal pet who loves attention but who is not overly demanding. The Kuvasz is generally a quiet dog unless it perceives a threat to its family or territory. When it feels the need, it can also be fearless and aggressive. Considering the size and strength of this breed, they can be quite impressive in this role. The Kuvasz has been known to be a very powerful breed, with the ability to take down an adult bear.

Grooming
The Kuvasz's stiff, dense coat, growing up to 15 cm (6 in) in length, does not require any special grooming. It needs a brush once a week or better still, every two or three days. A curry comb and, if necessary, a large-toothed comb can be used to remove knots. During the spring and autumn the Kuvasz moults, and he will lose copious amounts of hair very quickly. Frequent brushing is therefore needed to keep his coat tidy.
