Summary
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.
About Saluki
The Saluki is an ancient, elegant sighthound known for speed, endurance, and a calm, sensitive nature. Gentle yet independent, it needs kind training, secure space to sprint, moderate grooming for its fine coat, and careful handling of strong chase and prey instincts.
