Fun Fact
The origins of the Kuvasz are traced back to Mesopotamia and the steppes of the Ural mountains in Western Asia. In 2000 B.C. the Magyar tribes brought the “Ku Assa” (“Dog of the Horse”) to Hungary when they conquered the region. The name Kuvasz is probably a misspelling of the Turkish word “kawasz,” which means nobility's armed guard.
