Kuvasz

This cutie is an ancient Hungarian dog that was originally used for guarding livestock. It is obviously a large dog with a dense double coat which is white in color and can range from wavy to straight in texture. The Kuvasz are not as robust and bulky as the Swiss mountain dogs but still large and agile enough to help the shepherds protect their herds. They are a smart and intelligent dog and is often described as even having a clownish sense of humor. Doesn’t get better than that.

Leonberger

Clearly, the Leonberger is a giant dog breed! The name comes from the city of Leonberg in Baden-Württemberg, Germany. According to town legend, the Leonberger was bred as a ‘symbolic dog’ that would mimic the lion in the town crest. Very interesting. This breed is also well socialized and trained, making it a great family dog.
