Martin S. in Germany shares this adorable photo of a very, very, very young puppy.
“The nose, the eyelids and the lips are always black.” "White is the color of this breed." "The hair is wavy and thick, a real characteristic of the breed." The pup's facial fur will soon smooth out and become the sleek fur of the face while the rest of the body's fur will bcome thick and wavy.

Martin, I can't reach you via Facebook. Will you contact me at amy.elftmann@gmail.com to let me know how old the pup is in this photo? Thanks!
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 Kidó. P. 100.
