A white Hungarian guardian that trusts its own judgement
The Kuvasz guarded livestock and property in Hungary and is fearless, devoted and fiercely protective. It is reserved with strangers and independent, so it needs an experienced owner, early socialisation and a secure fence.

This breed needs about 60 minutes of activity a day. Around 3 sitter-led sessions a week keeps that routine going when work or travel gets in the way.

Yes, especially at dusk and night, when it is on guard duty. Barking is a natural part of the breed's job and can be a problem for close neighbours.
A weekly brush is usually enough for the wavy white double coat, with extra sessions during heavy shedding. Regular baths are rarely necessary as the coat sheds dirt well.
