Interesting Breed information about Breed: Kuvasz
The Kuvasz (pl. Kuvaszok, also known as the Hungarian Sheepdog) is a dog breed of ancient Hungarian origin. The word is, contrary to some theories, not of Sumerian origin. These dogs are used to guard livestock. Mention of the breed can be found in old Hungarian texts.
Appearance
Kuvasz are large dogs with wavy fur that is white in color. Noses should be black, and the eyes almond shaped. They are larger than the average Labrador Retriever. Females usually weigh between 75-90 pounds (35-40 kg) while males weigh between 100-115 pounds (45-52 kg). Their facial features are very similar to those of a Golden Retriever, however their build is larger. Some Kuvaszok (particularly in the United States) have been bred to have straighter, less-curly hair. Many enthusiasts feel this is a gross deviation from the breed's true type and its Hungarian origins. (See the Breed Standards for a more precise description.)
Temperament
The Kuvasz can be a fiercely loyal and patient pet who appreciates attention but may also be somewhat aloof or independent, particularly with strangers. As for barking, the Kuvasz has been described by some as quiet while others say it is a notorious barker. Ultimately, the question of barking seems to depend on the individual dog but it remains a good rule of thumb for a potential owner to refrain from buying a Kuvasz if barking will be a problem at the home.
Kuvaszok are known to be fierce protectors of their families, which is in keeping with their origins as a guardian of livestock. Given their intelligence, awareness of their surroundings, as well as their size and strength, they can be quite impressive in this role.
They are also said to be incredibly intelligent, and to possess a clownish sense of humor which lasts throughout their adolescence and occasionally into adulthood. [1] [2] Given their protective nature and their natural strength, training and socialization is a necessity. Despite their intelligence, they should not be perceived as easily trained. Their independent streak can make training a difficult task which can wear on the patience of even experienced owners. As a result, they are not recommended for novices or those who do not have time to train and socialize them properly.
Grooming
The Kuvasz's stiff, dense coat, growing up to 15 cm (6 in) in length, does not require any special grooming. It needs to be brushed once a week or, better still, every two or three days. For standard grooming purposes, use of a grooming rake or a pin-brush with rounded pins is recommended. To remove stubborn knots, use a curry comb or a large-toothed comb. During the spring and autumn the Kuvasz moults (also known as shedding), and he will lose copious amounts of hair very quickly. Frequent brushing is therefore needed to keep his coat tidy. A Kuvasz should not smell or have an odor; such is usually a sign of illness or a poor diet.
[edit] Health
Although generally a healthy and robust breed which can be expected to live approximately 12-14 years, the Kuvaszok are prone to developmental bone problems. [3] Accordingly, owners should take care to provide proper nutrition to their Kuvasz puppy and avoid subjecting the puppy to rough play. As with many large breeds, hip dysplasia (a painful and potentially debilitating condition) is not uncommon. Good genetics and proper nutrition as a puppy are key to avoiding these complications.
As for nutrition, a puppy should not be fed a diet high in calories or protein. The Kuvasz has a very efficient metabolism and is predisposed to rapid growth -- vitamin supplements are not necessary and, in fact, should be avoided. [4] Cooked bones should never be given to a Kuvasz or any other dog. The cooking process renders the bone brittle and prone to splintering, which can injure the dog's mouth or (even worse) digestive tract.
History
Around 2000 B.C., the Magyar tribes moved along the recently established trade routes, conquering the Carpathian Basin in Hungary, bringing with them the Ku Assa, meaning dog of the horse.
The Ku Assa were used for protection and hunting by the nobility of Hungary during the 15th century. When the Ottoman-Turkish take over occurred, their name was changed to Kawaz. The dogs were returned to their original task of guarding livestock.
In World War II, the dog was almost driven to extinction in Hungary as they were killed for guarding their families from soldiers. It has been suggested that they were hunted at the time, yet some officers were known to take Kuvaszok home with them. After the War, it was revealed that there was less than thirty of the dogs left in Hungary. Since then, due to many dedicated breeders, Kuvaszok have repopulated Hungary.
