Default Kuvasz Behavior : How Bad Is It?

news:34106117-4eba-48e1-9443- However, I am curious if anyone who has
actually owned a Kuvasz could
weigh in and give their opinion as to how much of a problem they had
in making sure their dog's guard instinct was in check. Was it a
problem? What did you do? How confident did you feel with the dog?


I love the breed. I would not own one.

I taught puppy agility at our local club and had a whole litter of kuvasz
come through. They were all fabulous as puppies. As they grew some became
more protective. One - who was my favorite as a puppy - became so
protective that she was put down. I will tell you that I was horrified
because I DID feel confident with this dog - of course, its possible she was
just a genetic freaky dog with issues but it turned me off to the breed
forever.
