Puppies ❤️❤️❤️ - 132

 Melinda Takácsné Horváth in Hungary shares this photo of young Velvet.

This photo showcases these Kuvasz characteristics:

“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 well-proportioned clean head and the almond shaped eyes indicate intelligence and loyalty.”

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.
