The most famous Kuvasz

Big Dog | March 8th, 2011

The most famous appearance of this dog breed was in the movie Homeward Bound 2: Lost in San Francisco which is the sequel to the Homeward Bound: The Incredible Journey. Three characters play roles from the first movie in this episode: Sassy, the hilarious Himalayan cat, Shadow, the wise Golden Retriever and Chance, the fun-loving American Bulldog.

The adventure begins when the owners of the pets decide to take a vacation in Canada. On their way to Canada, Chance panics and the animals escape from their carrier and they suddenly find themselves on the streets of San Francisco. They don’t have any other option, but to get ready for the hazardous, long journey and find their way home.

During their struggle to get home Chance falls in love with a Kuvasz whose name is Delilah. At first Delilah’s pack leader refuses to help them, because he has always been ignored by humans, and therefore he doesn’t like them and their pets. But later on, the three friends have a chance to prove that they deserve to be helped out, as they rescue a boy and a kitten from a fire.

We can see in this movie how gentle and affectionate a Kuvasz can be.

Kuvasz are often described as an intelligent and a very funny dog. A clownish sense of humor is the most distinct characteristic of this breed that can last throughout its adolescence until its adulthood. They are intensely loyal yet patient pets who seek and appreciate attention, but can sometimes be aloof especially with strangers. This breed needs to be trained and to be taught how to socialize to lessen its very aloof nature and learn to get along with family friends.

Kuvasz are very good with kids and so it is nice to save memories of them playing and goofing around with the children in the family. You can also show your love and affection for your pet by framing your license plate in a Black Plastic I Love My Kuvasz Plastic Frame. This frame is made with black plastic with white lettering and can fit most US and Canadian License Plates.

A Beautiful Kuvasz Poem

D Dog Fan | April 7th, 2008

Adam

Sweet companion, trusted friend;
Satisfied.
You come and lean against me,
wanting the closeness.
Together we sniff the moist air,
eyes searching chiaroscuro shadows,
and listening,
become one with the night.

Later, as you drowse by my chair,
feet twitching and making little groanings
in your sleep
I wonder,
if in your dreamscape
you are fighting the wolves
to protect your flock
or running with them.

Barbara Worthington (1993)
