Kuvasz – The Loyal and Protective Guardian
The Kuvasz is a breed with a rich history that dates back over a thousand years. Originating from Hungary, this noble dog was primarily used as a livestock guardian, protecting sheep and cattle from predators. The breed’s name, derived from the Turkish word “kawasz,” which means “armed guard of nobility,” reflects its historical role as a protector.
