The Kuvasz has existed in present day Hungary for almost 500 years. This breed is a majestic, well-proportioned white sheepdog with a very handsome head. The Kuvasz was a valuable working dog, badly needed and much used by the herdsmen and the peasants trying to eke out a living from the land. The chief enemies of the nomadic shepherd were the wolves and thieves.
Also called Hungarian Kuvasz.
