Enikő of Dunamenti Jeles Kuvasz Kennel in Hungary shares this photo of her Jeles.
This showcases the Kuvasz head, with the sleek, straight, short fur of the face that develops into the wavy fur of the ears and neck.
"By Hungarian standard...there must be special twirls in the coat."*
“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.’” **
“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.”***
