The Kuvasz coat at 12 days

Paulo V. of Kuvasz-Canil Refúgio na Montanha Kennel in Brazil shares this photo of his 12-day-old puppies.

This photo showcases the distinctive texture of the Kuvasz coat:

“The colour of the coat is a uniform white....
The hair should be neither excessively curly nor straight, but should...have waves and swirls.  In 1924, the official term was fluctuosus, ‘wavy,’ which was replaced in 1935 by undulans, ‘undulating.’”
