Despite its power, a Cuvac’s movements are surprisingly light, supple and speedy, whatever the terrain or time of year. Its preferred gait is the trot.
Slovak Cuvaces are solidly-built mountain dogs with a thick white coat and a robust bone structure. They are members of a lively, vigilant and fearless breed.

Szőrzet
The undercoat is completely covered by a top coat of long hair measuring 2-6 inches. Most abundant in the mane; elsewhere moderately wavy, forming waves that merge into one another.
Over the centuries, these imposing, rectangular dogs have become accustomed to the harsh climate of the Tatra Mountains in Slovakia. The breed name is related to the Slovak word meaning ‘to listen’.
