Lena of Czaruso Kuvasz Kennel in Sweden shares this photo of one of her Kuvasz.
This photo showcases distinctive features of the Kuvasz:
“The hair is wavy and thick, a real characteristic of the breed....The coat of the Kuvasz is very attractive.”
“The slanting eyes are special, quite unlike those found in any related kind.”
“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.
