About the family of Livestock Guardian Dogs...
“To this day flocks are guarded in the hills of Asia, Europe and Africa* by powerful, robust dogs that are neither clumsy nor pacific. Despite the distances that separate them these breeds have much in common, and the Kuvasz is a member of this extended sheepdog family.”
Dr. Buzády Tibor. 2002. Dogs of Hungary. Translated by Bernard Adams. Budapest, Hungary: Nóra Kiadó. P. 100.
*(and now also in North America, South America and Australia)
A Day in the Life -- This blog is about a day in the life of our beloved ancient Kuvasz living in today's modern world. This blog, in conjunction with KUVASZ FANCIERS OF AMERICA, is an independent service to all the Kuvasz of the world! My focus is on the Kuvasz, the traditional Hungarian dog still bred to ancient standards, as described by the FCI and traditional standards, not modern or non-Hungarian breed club rules. Please send emails and photos for the blog to AMY.ELFTMANN@GMAIL.COM.
