[TheForge] Way OT Hounds needing homes

[Jerry Frost]

I'm guessing they are referring to the Hungarian Kuvasz. It's a
Livestock Guardian Dog breed similiar to the Great Pyrenees, being
slightly smaller in stature and a lot more active. This breed is NOT for
just anyone, so suggest they do their homework before impulsively taking
one (or more) of these dogs home.

This is a good site to read before making a decision.
http://www.lgd.org/

In part, it says:
"It is our great pleasure to introduce you to one of the oldest and most
fascinating dog breeds in the world, Canis familiarus undulans
hungaricus, the "Hungarian wavy-coated dog." A proud and highly
intelligent dog, the beautiful white Hungarian Kuvasz is first and
foremost a bold and powerful guardian. This intensely self-assured,
strong-willed breed has performed for thousands of years as a livestock
protector, bodyguard, and steadfast companion.

It is important to do as much research as possible before bringing a
Kuvasz into your life. If the Kuvasz is wrong for you but you insist
upon having one anyway, prepare yourself for misery, for the Kuvasz you
buy on impulse will steal your heart and then break it when you have to
find it a better home. Many people are still grieving, years and years
after giving up their beloved but ill-chosen Kuvasz. Yet if this
magnificent guarding dog is right for you and your family, being loved
and protected by a Kuvasz will be the most wonderful and unforgettable
experience you will ever have with an animal.
