Erdőszéli-Fehér Ördög Kuvasz Kennel in Hungary shares this photo of his two Kuvasz.
This photo showcases characteristics of the Kuvasz:
“The ears are set high on the head. The upper third of the ears slightly stand away from the head but the rest of the leather droops close to the cheeks. They have the shape of a rounded V.”
“The eyes are medium, slightly oblique, almond shaped.”
“The eyes are either dark brown or black. The eyelids are black. Their expression reflects strength and courage.”

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.
