Latest Kuvasz Frequently Asked Questions:
I know that in order to mix two dogs they need to have some similarities, and so I was wondering if it would be possible to mix these two dogs.
Answer:Yes, it is. But I wouldn't mix them unless I wanted to get a very specific result - a dog that needs traits from both breeds in order to serve the purpose for which he was bred.
Answer:Full grown they are 66-115 lbs. and 26-29 inches tall.
The reason I am asking is because we have a litter of 7pups that are three weeks old. They are almost pure black, short coated, and very big. I've never seen another cross like it. They'll be fabulous family dogs going by their personalities but I'd love to be pointed to pictures. Thanks in advance.

They'll be fabulous family dogs going by their personalities but I'd love to be pointed to pictures. Thanks in advance. Just to clarify, we obviously didn't intend the cross, happened in kennels when we were on holiday, oh well, these things happen! I'm able to judge temperament having had puppies in the past, and the fact that we own both their parents and they have the most wonderful temperaments probably helps. Also, raising the puppies in a house with kids means you do get to know their characters quite well. Anyone seen any?
Answer:The hope that they will be great family dogs is wonderful, HOWEVER both breeds are prone to aggressive behavior and Kuvaz are NOT for everyone and generally DO NOT make GREAT family dogs!!! They are a GUARDING breed and so by nature have a reserved and potentially dominant personality. You cannot tell at three weeks what they will be like. Screening of homes should be a MUST as should Puppy Aptitude Testing at 7 weeks. This can point out puppies that tend toward dominance and a high prey drive.....not really something that makes a good family pet for most people!
i really love these dogs and want to get but my family has a 9 year old shitzu that was born small to begin with and shes only 9 pounds and i think if i got a big dog like that it might be intimidating and would scare her. i also don't know if they get along well with other dogs.
Answer:Any dog can do well around other dogs as long as the dog was socialized. Your Shih Tzu will have a harder time if you get a new dog than the new dog will. I'm guessing she has been your only dog for a long time. If you get another dog you need to make sure that you introduce them correctly. Also keeping the same routine will help your Shih Tzu adjust better.
I mean just look at them, why do sites rank them as good guard dogs?
Answer:Tell you what.. next time you see one standing in the middle of a field. Go up and cuddle it.. you'll get your answer.
