Why is the Kuvasz fantastic?

We asked Kuvasz fans, Kuvasz owners and Kuvasz breeders, because who could speak better about this great breed than those who live with the Kuvaszok and have dedicated their lives to breeding this majestic dog?

​

"I wouldn't. They would have to tell me why they would be the right owner." (Kuvasz owner/fan)

​

"They were free spirited, like me." (Edina Marton, Hungary)

​

"They are my soul's dog. Noble, beautiful, regal, a companion/partner deserving of respect, wise, steady... really, they are what I want people to be." (Elizabeth Moore, USA)

​

"You can't convince anyone to own a Kuvasz. The desire to have a Kuvasz as a friend, the interest in the Kuvasz and the (developing) love and trust in a Kuvasz must be there. Either a person is made for Kuvasz or he is not. If you have to convince someone first, Kuvasz is the wrong choice. I have worked and lived with many different dogs in my life. But I have only experienced this deep feeling of connection with Kuvasz, this basic trust and the energy of these dogs can hardly be expressed in words. However, I'm not a good speaker either.

​

The question is: Can you smile at the loose mouth (barking) of a Kuvasz? Then the Kuvasz will enchant you, enrich your life, stand loyally by your side and go with you every step of the way. Teach you humility and patience, bring you back down to earth when you start to fly, remind you of what is really important jst in life. Make you laugh when you're sad, protect you when you're in danger. Teach you to see the world with open eyes and to go through life with consideration, respect and foresight. I don't know how best to put these wonderful creatures into words. You can see the magic of these dogs when you live with them. Kuvasz is not just a dog. A Kuvasz is a friend and a way of life if you really value these dogs." (Anja An Kima Friedrich, Germany)

"I had Great Pyrenees and loved them before Kuvasz. The Kuvasz doesn’t drool, doesn’t bark with out reason, doesn’t roam except to protect his property boundaries (might include part of the neighbors), wherever he goes often becomes his to protect, will give his life to protect his people, won’t accept treats unless he trusts you, learns so quickly, understands sentences. Gives loyalty new meaning. Patiently waits for us to be ready to go out. So much is expressed in their eyes. I am never lonely or fearful with my companion. They have ruined me to be anything but disappointed with another breed. My girl is 12 1/2 and I know we are on borrowed time. She was re-homed to us when she was six. Has been the best ever!" (Roberta Arsenault, USA)
