Kuvasz-Őr! Kuvasz-Guard! Large Carnivore Conservation Programme

 
Szep Ábrahám of Kuvasz-Őr! Kuvasz-Guard! in Hungary shares this video about his conservation program. This video is fascinating, describing the ancient use of Kuvasz in modern times.

Feral dogs, wolves and bears are thriving in parts of Eastern Europe and people and farmers must learn to co-exist. The Kuvasz is a major part of this co-existance.

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.
