Description

We do not raise our dogs for the show ring but rather as working dog for home or livestock guardian. For dog a to be a good home guardian it is essential that the dog be fully integrated into family. Failure to do so may result in a dog who is aloof and not easily managed. Kuvasz are very intelligent and fully capable of independent thought. They can plan activities and then carry them to fruition. They can learn by observing human activities and then integrating the learning into independent action. Some have learned to activate touch lamps to awake their owners at night. Others have learned how to grasp doorknob with their teeth and then enter through a closed door. Failure to understand and work with this intelligence can lead to a very frustrating experience for the owner. If you are looking for a "snap finger", the Kuvasz is certainly not your breed. For over 2000 years the Kuvasz was bred for livestock guardians. This meant they were required to live with the flock of sheep or goats day and night and had to react to any threat without human direction. When responding to any stimulus in their surroundings they were bred to make decisions and then act. Thus the Kuvasz is a defensive protector as opposed to an offensive protector such as a Rottweiler or Doberman. We strive to find the best placement for our pups in loving homes and will not place a pup without an in-depth interview with the prospective owner...
