Erika of Fülöphegyi-Fehér Kuvaszok kennel in Hungary shares this photo.

This photo showcases some distinctive characteristics of the Kuvasz:

"There must be special twirls in the coat." *

“White is the color of this breed.” **

“The skin has a lot of pigment, and is slate grey [the skin color can be seen on the ears]. The nose, the eyelids and the lips are always black." **

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.” 

From: Dr. Buzády Tibor. 2002. Dogs of Hungary. Translated by Bernard Adams. Budapest, Hungary: Nóra Kiadó.  P. 100.
