Flock Guardian breeds carry their role as a full-time job. Most breeds are raised around the flocks they protect from an early age and take protecting their flock seriously. Able to blend in with their flocks, they often bark to chase away predators. They have strong instincts to protect their flock and herd them, and may attack predators they cannot drive away with their vocal intimidation.



The Kuvasz, pronounced KOO-vahz, is a majestic and mighty Hungarian flock guardian, known to protect their livestock and their family. These snow-white companions are a profoundly loyal and independent breed that requires patience. Early socialization and daily exercise to keep the working breed active is key to a healthy, happy Kuvasz.

They have thick, yet easy to care for, coats that require weekly brushings and occasional bathing. A companion of kings, the Kuvasz are known for their impressive size and strengths. They stand up to 30 inches (76 centimeters) tall and can weigh as much as 110 pounds (49 kilograms). Many who love the breed compliment them for their elegantly proportioned heads.

These nimble-footed companions require a fenced-in yard. While beautiful and smart, they can be a challenging breed to train for novice trainers. Kuvasz do not respond well to harsh training techniques and does well under the guidance of an experienced handler. The Flock Guardian Casso aims to help this wonderful breed gain at least 28 total new registrations over the course of this month (without losing any in the process to retirement).

Current Goal: 3,924
Current Registrations: 3,896
