The Kuvasz (Hungarian pronunciation: ), is an ancient breed of livestock dog of Hungarian origin. Mention of the breed can be found in old Hungarian texts.

That independence can make training a difficult task, wearing on the patience of even experienced owners. Kuvasz quickly understand what is being asked of them, but they have to respect a person as a trusted leader before they'll obey commands. They're also not usually interested in meaningless activity, such as doing entertaining tricks. On the other hand, many of these qualities make the Kuvasz excellent guardians for sheep or large estates.
