The snow-white Kuvasz is Hungary’s beautiful flock guardian and king companion. The imposing and thickly coated Kuvasz, a working dog of exceptional size and power, is a gorgeous, smart, genuinely loyal, but demanding breed.
The Kuvasz (pronounced KOO-vahz; the plural is Kuvaszok, pronounced KOO-vah-sock) is imposing, impressive, majestic, gigantic, and mighty. This snow-white livestock protector with a luxuriant coat can stand up to 30 inches tall and weigh between 70 and 110 pounds.
