Kuvasz
This dog is protective of its family and needs plenty of socialization to do well with other dogs. It can live outdoors and needs plenty of exercise.
Breed Overview
These protective dogs originated in Hungary around the 1500s to serve important duties. The Kuvasz was used to guard, hunt, and protect against intruders including bears and wolves. They are dependable in their protective ways, however they are reserved around strangers and may not get along with other dogs. Plenty of socialization from an early age will allow them to do well with strange dogs. However, they make good watchful family pets and are also a good pet for active and outdoorsy people. They enjoy a long walk every day to fulfill their exercise needs. Regular grooming and combing of the coat will keep it neat, however it requires more frequent brushing when shedding.
