Multi Champion Babuschka Fehér Csavargo, most winning female Kuvasz in the world.

UTILISATION
The Kuvasz is used as a watch and guard dog for houses, property and other valuables, as well as for people. He also has been used as a hunting and scenting dog.

BRIEF HISTORICAL SUMMARY
The Kuvasz is a long established, ancient Hungary Shepherd Dog. His ancestors came into the Carphation basin at the time of occupation by the Magyars. These dogs were needed to watch and gard their flocks against beasts of prey and thieves. Because of his hunting instinct the Kuvasz was the preferred hunting dog at the time of King Matthias Corvinus. Since the decline in stock herding, he has much less been used for his original duties and he has settled in villages and later even in towns.

GENERAL APPEARANCE
The dogs of this breed are strong and large and carry a dense, wavy, white coat. Their pleasing appearance radiates nobility and strength. The individual body parts fit together harmoniously, the limbs being neither too short nor too long. The bone structure is strong but not coarse. The strong muscles are lean, the joints show clear outlines. Seen from the side, the body forms a prone rectangle, almost a square. Well muscled he shows a strong build, a lively temperament and great agility. His appearance embodies a tireless working ability.

BEHAVIOUR / TEMPERAMENT
The Kuvasz is brave and fearless. He defends the people entrusted to his care and his protection and their property, even with his life. He is selfconfident and may become aggressive if ill-treated. He is faithfull, dependable and loves his master and his surroundings. He needs plenty of exercise and must be kept busy. He isundermanding. His care is eady and he can stand severe weather conditions. He appriciates any love and solicitude given to him.

COAT
Hair: moderately harsh, wavy, slightly stiff, not tending to mat. Under the coarser topcoat, there is a finer downy undercoat. The head, ears and feet are covered by short (1 - 2 cm long), dense, smooth hair. The front and sides of the front legs as well as the hind legs below the stifles are covered by equally short (1 - 2 cm long) straight hair. There are feathering of 5 - 8 cm in length on the back of the legs; ont he hind legs, they reach to the hocks. The neck has a ruff which extends to a mane reaching to the chest. This is particularly pronounced in male dogs. On the body, upper thigh and upper arm, the coat is of medium lenght (4 - 12 cm long), abundantly waby and it forms crests, ridges and tassels. The tail is covered, along its entire lenght, by dense, wavy coat which can even reach a lenght of 10 - 15 cm at the hip of the tail.
