The modern Kuvasz puppy

Szep Ábrahám of Kuvasz-Őr! Kuvasz-Guard! in Hungary shares this photo of his puppy and Hungarian Gray Bulls. The modern Kuvasz understands modern farm machinery, but of course doesn't need it to do his job of protecting his herd.



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.
