Slovak Cuvac

The members of this shepherd military system did their service on mountain meadows with their companions - the hearty white dog called the Slovak Cuvac.

Slovak Cuvac (Slovenský čuvač)

The Slovak Cuvac is a Slovak breed of dog, bred for use as a livestock guard dog.

The United Kennel Club in the US uses the English version of the name Slovak Cuvac.

The Slovak Cuvac, together with mountain sheep, the Hucul horse, and typical inhabitants of the mountains, formed the fundamental economic preconditions for the utilization of pastures for cattle.

To a casual observer, the Kuvasz may appear similar to a Great Pyrenees, Akbash, a Maremma Sheepdog, Samoyed, a white Poodle and Labrador Retriever mix, Slovak Cuvac and the Polish Tatra Sheepdog.
