Summary
About Hokkaido
About Kuvasz
The Kuvasz is a large, ancient Hungarian livestock guardian with a white, weatherproof coat. Loyal and protective with family but reserved with strangers, it needs early socialisation, firm yet kind training, space, and experienced owners to manage its strong, independent nature.
