(KOO-vahz) The Kuvasz is a fearless, bold flock guardian. Their
coat can be anywhere from wavy to straight and the undercoat is thick. The
Kuvasz is intelligent and can be a good family dog if it has an owners who know
how to display a natural, firm authority over it, is socialized, trained
thoroughly, and raised with children from the start, but it is not recommended
for most families. If the dog is going to live with children, it is best, if
possible, to select a Kuvasz pup and have the dog raised with the children. While
the Kuvasz bonds well with children in the family, other children need to be
monitored. You do not want the Kuvasz to believe he needs to protect your child
from another should the children get into a scuffle. It is recommended to not
leave them unsupervised. While puppies will easily accept new humans and
animals, as the dog grows this will change (You can’t teach old dogs new trick,
sort of speak).
