Ambar enjoys chewing on a stick

Mariette of Kuvasz Kennel vom Quecksilber in Germany shares this photo of 15-week-old Ambar.  Her full name is Talismaanin Nordic Star of Quecksilber; bred by Kirsti Parikka; owned by Kuvasz Kennel vom Quecksilber, Mariette Hellinger.

This photo showcases the Kuvasz head:

“The slanting eyes are special, quite unlike those found in any related kind....The eyes are medium, slightly oblique, almond shaped....The eyes are either dark brown or black. The eyelids are black. Their expression reflects strength and courage.

“The ears are set high on the head. The upper third of the ears slightly stand away from the head but the rest of the leather droops close to the cheeks. They have the shape of a rounded V.” 

"...the nails [are] slate gray.”
