Kuvasz Puppies

The Kuvasz makes a great family dog with early socialization and training. They can be standoffish but don't let that fool you, these dogs are extremely devoted to their family. They make intelligent and loving companions but should be handled by experienced owners.

The Kuvasz is a fairly healthy breed but could be subject to some genetic conditions, like hip dysplasia, autoimmune thyroiditis, patellar luxation, cardiac conditions, or progressive retinal atrophy. Larger dogs also have risk of bloat.

The Kuvasz has a moderate energy level and should get at least 45 minutes of exercise every day. They were bred to herd cattle and sheep, so a fenced-in yard where they can roam is a must. As puppies controlled and regular exercise is very important so they grow healthy and strong.

The Kuvasz is fairly easy to groom, needing only a weekly brushing and bathing when needed.

The Kuvasz is a heavy shedder, so keep the vacuum handy.

The Kuvasz has a beautiful snow-white coat that is dense and wavy, but shorter and straight around its face and paws. Their black noses and dark eyes provide a beautiful contrast to their white fur, and their build is both elegant and impressive.

Kuvasz's origins are from Hungary in the Middle Ages. They were used as livestock guardians, to fight back against wolves or poachers. They've also been used as guard dogs for Hungarian nobles.
