message: ====Coat and Colour at CKC KUVASZ STANDARD====
The double coat is formed by a coarse outer guard coat and a thick, woolly undercoat. The texture of the guard coat is rough so that the coat readily sheds dirt and shows no tendency to mat. The length of the hair follows a definite pattern: head, ears, front of forelegs, and feet are covered with short, straight, dense hair 3/8 - 3/4 inches (1-2 cm) in length. The guard coat on the body and thighs is medium length 1-1/2 - 4-3/4 inches (4-12 cm). Some coats have long, loose waves, some have smaller, tighter waves. Both are correct, as is anything in between. On the adult dog, the coat must not be tightly curled nor should it lie completely flat, but the degree of waviness will vary considerably from one specimen to another. There is a ruff and mane of longer hair about the neck and chest, more prominent on the males, and feathering of 2-3-1/4 inches (5-8 cm) on the back of the legs. The tail is thickly covered in long wavy hair 4-6 inches (10-15 cm) in length. Puppies may have either straight or curly coats but should lose these characteristics with their first adult coat. The coat is a lustrous, pure white, although ivory is permissible, but not preferred. A yellow saddle is to be severely penalized. The skin is well pigmented, preferably grey in colour. The nose, eye rims, lips, and flews are black. The roof of the mouth should be dark. Pads of the feet are black or slate grey and slate-coloured nails are preferred.
====Coat at AKC  Kuvasz Standard====
The Kuvasz has a double coat, formed by guard hair and fine undercoat. The texture of the coat is medium coarse. The coat ranges from quite wavy to straight. Distribution follows a definite pattern over the body regardless of coat type. The head, muzzle, ears and paws are covered with short, smooth hair. The neck has a mane that extends to and covers the chest. Coat on the front of the forelegs up to the elbows and the hind legs below the thighs is short and smooth. The backs of the forelegs are feathered to the pastern with hair 2 to 3 inches long. The body and sides of the thighs are covered with a medium length coat. The back of the thighs and the entire tail are covered with hair 4 to 6 inches long. It is natural for the Kuvasz to lose most of the long coat during hot weather. Full luxuriant coat comes in seasonally, depending on climate. Summer coat should not be penalized.

message: Unfortunately, , just linking to images is not enough. They have to be available on Commons or the English Wikipedia (sorry, that was my fault as I hadn't explained it to you properly).  managed to find some images and then  kindly managed to move one. So, Kuvaszf - would you object to this image being used in the info box (I'm hoping that you would be happy with that as well, Hafspajen?) Normally the info box image is a picture of a dog standing but as the head is important, I felt in this instance this image might be acceptable? SagaciousPhil - Chat 15:16, 13 January 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: I am happy enough, because this is the way Kuvasz is used. (May I mention that according too my couple years living in Hungary Hungarian knowledge kan means simply male dog). Hafspajen (talk) 15:25, 13 January 2014 (UTC)

replies: text: Great, thanks, I'll add it as the info box image. I also agree about not using the painting - looking at the additional source information , it just specifies a "Dog called Ross". SagaciousPhil - Chat 09:47, 15 January 2014 (UTC)
