Barbar and the Kuvasz head shape

Nahimana Onatha in Germany shares this photo of her dog, Kulcsos Lujza Barbar, napping on a chair that's not quite big enough for him.

This photo showcases the shape of the Kuvasz head:

“Although the whole dog is pleasing and well balanced, the most attractive part is the head. This is the Kuvasz’ most distinctive feature.”

"The Kuvasz' head is typically wedge-shaped....The Kuvasz can mainly be distinguished from other breeds by his head shape."
