The Kuvasz coat at 7 weeks

Gyöngyi of Gyöngyös-Szelek Kuvasz Kennel in Hungary shares this photo of one of her 7-week-old puppies. At this age the fur on the face is smoothing out while the rest of the coat remains wavy.

This photo showcases the distinctive texture of the Kuvasz coat: 

“The hair is wavy and thick, a real characteristic of the breed....The coat of the Kuvasz is very attractive.”
