The Kuvasz is a large, powerful dog breed that originated in Hungary. Traditionally, they were used as livestock guardians, known for their protective instincts and loyalty. With a strong, muscular build, they typically weigh between 70 to 115 pounds and have a thick, white coat that helps them withstand harsh weather conditions. These dogs are intelligent and independent, requiring consistent training and socialization from an early age. While they are affectionate with their families, they can be wary of strangers, making them excellent watchdogs. Proper care and attention are essential to ensure a well-adjusted Kuvasz.
