Puppy from first official FCI Kuvasz kennel in Poland

Hubert F. in Poland shares this photo of his 8-week-old puppy.
"We are from Poland 🇵🇱🇵🇱🇵🇱 from the official FCI Kuvasz kennel, the only one in Poland."

This photo showcases the distinctive dark pigment (as well as the white coat), of the Kuvasz. "The nose, the eyelids and the lips are always black....the nails slate grey.”

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.
