O que tem de assumir
Ninguém escreveu ainda este lado. É um juízo e não dados, por isso espera por uma pessoa — não por uma fonte que falte.
Retirado de fontes e não escrito como opinião — investigação de saúde citada, o padrão do próprio registo, e estudos de longevidade revistos por pares. Padrão da raça, FCI. Os animais de um criador podem diferir de tudo isto, e uma coluna vazia significa que não temos nada desse lado, não que não haja nada a dizer.
Characteristics
Padrão da FCI · Kuvasz
Pelo e cor
Tal como o padrão da FCI o estabelece. Cada linha abaixo está nas palavras do próprio padrão, etiquetada com permissible.
Coat
Under the coarser topcoat, there is a finer downy undercoat.
The head, ears and feet are covered by short (1-2 cm long), dense, smooth hair.
The front and sides of the front legs as well as the hind legs below the stifles are covered by equally short (1-2 cm long) straight hair.
There are featherings of 5-8 cm in length on the back of the legs
on the hind legs, they reach to the hocks.
The neck has a ruff which extends to a mane reaching to the chest.
This is particularly pronounced in male dogs.
On body, upper thigh and upper arm, the coat is of medium length (4-12 cm long), abundantly wavy and it forms crests, ridges and tassels.
The tail is covered, along its entire length, by dense, wavy coat which can even reach a length of 10-15 cm at the hip of the tail
- Moderately harsh

- Disqualifying
«Preferred», «permissible», «undesirable» e «disqualifying» — preferida, admissível, indesejável e desqualificante — são as palavras da própria FCI sobre a raça, e ficam em inglês porque é assim que constam do padrão. Descrevem o que o padrão exige — não são uma avaliação de nenhum cão em concreto, nem nossa.
Resumido de FCI standard n°54 — cada etiqueta está nas palavras do próprio padrão, com o veredito passado para a etiqueta ao lado. Leia a cláusula completa na fonte.

Health guide
What to ask for in a Kuvasz
No breed-specific health panel has been written up for the Kuvasz on this platform yet. That is a gap in our records, not a clean bill of health — ask the breeder which hereditary conditions their lines are tested for, and ask to see the results for both parents, dated and from a named laboratory.
