Nikolett in Hungary shares this photo. Little human and big dogs make great friends.
This photo showcases the distinctive texture of the Kuvasz coat:
“The hair is wavy and thick, a real characteristic of the breed....The coat of the Kuvasz is very attractive.”

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.
