Zeke, Comedian and Guard

Zeke is owned by a doctor in St. Louis, but my husband, Chuck, showed him to his championship.

We had him with us one Specialty weekend when a little boy walked up to my husband and asked him if his dog knew how to sit. My  husband told him he didn't know.

The little boy looked at Zeke and in a very firm voice said, "SIT." Zeke sat.

The little boy asked if he knew how to down. Before Chuck could answer the boy said, "DOWN!"  Zeke laid down.

When the little boy leaned over to praise him for his obedience, Zeke stole the baseball cap off of his head. The moment was too priceless for words.

Zeke was also the guard dog in some video footage shot by the AKA (American Kuvasz Association). They wanted to show that a friendly Kuvasz could also be a good guard dog. The scene was set with Zeke and I taking a walk through a park. An aggressive stranger jumped out of some bushes at us, staggering, yelling, and waving a stick.

In watching the footage, you can see Zeke look to see where I am. Then he made sure to position himself between me and the aggressive stranger. He kept the leash taunt between us, but never once pulled me.

When the stranger ran off Zeke left with me in the other direction. It was a perfect display of correct Kuvasz temperament:

• Guarding with only the necessary amount of force.

• Lack of chase /prey drive which would have left me unguarded had he wanted to chase.

Then we walked to another section of the park where he was greeted by friendly strangers and he was taped happily being petted by various people who approached him. It was an awesome sight!
