Kuvasz have a white, medium
coarse, double coat : A soft undercoat, and a longer outer coat
which can range from almost straight to wavy (not curly). At least
some undulation in the coat should be apparent, although
consideration needs to be given to recently washed dogs where
washing and drying can relax waves to almost straight.
Their pigment is black, THE
DARKER THE BETTER, and eyes are an almond shaped dark brown. There
are no alterations on a Kuvasz - no taildocking, earcropping, etc..
Paws are round and tight like a cat.
The Kuvasz is only slightly
longer in body than he is tall. The wedge shaped head is considered
to be the most beautiful characteristic of the Kuvasz.
The Kuvasz is a medium boned dog,
and moves with a strong, but light footed gait. As the gait
increases in speed, a Kuvasz single tracks, like a wolf.
Males are generally 28-30 inches
at the shoulder, and weigh 100-115 pounds. Females stand
approximately 26-28 inches and weigh 70-90 pounds. While there is no
maximum size for a Kuvasz, structural balance and proper movement is
imperative.
The Kuvasz is a very intelligent, assertive dog, combining great strength with quickness and speed that is often unexpected in a dog of its size. A Kuvasz is unwavering in its loyalty and devotion to its family, be they people or animals. There is no threat he will not face in protecting those he loves. He is independent in nature, and is discriminating with strangers. He makes his own judgements about who he will consider his acquaintances. This often leads to comments about "aloofness", which seems to add to his noble demeanor.
