Ajsa

Gömöri-Betyár kuvasz kennel shares this photo of Ajsa, a 1-year-old female Kuvasz.

Observations about the beautiful Kuvasz head:
“In profile, the skull is only moderately arched–rather flat, continuing with a smooth line to a hardly perceptible stop and a long, straight nose.” *

"The Kuvasz' head is typically wedge-shaped, in harmony
with his body, pleasing, noble, and it shows a considerable strength.
The Kuvasz can mainly be distinguished from other breeds by his
head shape." **
