The Kuvasz is a hardy breed and often prefers the
coldest weather. In warm weather, he
will always seek the coolest spot— whether that is
laying on the top of an air conditioner vent, or in a
damp depression in the soil.
The Kuvasz almost always enjoys
spending time outdoors. Proper shelter should be
provided for summer and winter. The breed
must have cool
shade and protection from the heat. Air conditioning is
practically
a must in warm climates. This is one breed of dog that
is built for rugged climates and suffers greatly in heat
and humidity.
The Kuvasz has a marvelous coat that adapts
to a wide range of climates and seasons. It repels dirt and water and does not require clipping. All that is needed to maintain the coat
and healthy appearance is a regular brushing, periodic check of teeth, eyes, ears and
regular trimming of the nails.
The Kuvasz will shed all year long with heavier shedding seasonally. The coat should never be sheared as it inhibits the natural cooling mechanisms of the dog.
A healthy Kuvasz does not have an odor. Never bathe a Kuvasz unless you have removed all the tangles and loose undercoat first, otherwise it will mat into the coat and be even harder to get out.
The adult Kuvasz requires ample, regular and strenuous exercise.
A fenced yard is a MUST for the Kuvasz. He must never be chained or allowed to roam free.
Our puppy instructions explain in details what type of exercise your puppy
requires at the various stages of its growth from puppy to adulthood.
There is considerable controversy regarding nutrition in dogs. Unfortunately,
sometimes the worst source of nutritional information is your veterinarian. It is only
recently that vet schools have even begun to offer courses on nutrition, and in
some instances, they are not required. Your vet often knows only what the dog food salesman has
pitched to him
or her to sell their product and that "information" is
often based on skewed research funded by the dog food manufacturers.
