How to Identify a Slovensky Cuvac

The Slovensky Cuvac is assigned to the herding group, and the breed originated from Arctic wolves. [1] They originated in the Slovakian Republic. [2] Even though they are relatively unique dogs, they do share some characteristics in common with other dog breeds. This wikiHow will help you with figuring out whether or not a dog is a Slovensky Cuvac.

Method 1
Method 1 of 3:

Considering the Body Structure

  1. Slovensky Cuvacs are typically somewhere between 23 to 27.5 inches (58 to 70 cm) tall, and they usually weigh anywhere from 68 to 97 pounds (31 to 44 kg). [3]
  2. Slovensky Cuvacs should have a skull that appears strong, with a shape that is kind of long and the area between the dog's ears should be broad. The dog's forehead should also be broad, with a furrow that tapers towards the back and is shallow. [4]

  3. Slovensky Cuvacs should have high-set ears that are mobile at the point they were set on. They should hang and be medium in length, and be close-lying to their head. The ear should have hair that is finer at the halfway point, and when the dog is relaxed, the bottom edge of the ear (which is rounded) should reach their mouth. [5]
  4. Slovensky Cuvacs should have oval-shaped eyes that are dark brown in color and set in a horizontal manner. [6]
  5. Slovensky Cuvacs should have a low-set tail that is straight and reaches the point of their hock joints. When the dog is relaxed and standing, the tail should hang low, and when they are in motion, the dog should carry their tail in a curled manner, and over their loin. [7]
  6. Overall, Slovensky Cuvacs should have a medium-rectangle shape, along with strong bones. Their gait should be agile and quick, yet also light-footed. [8]

Noticing the Coat

  1. Slovensky Cuvacs should have a coat that is white in color, though you may sometimes notice shading that is yellowish located where the dog's ears are set on. [9]
  2. Slovensky Cuvacs should have a short coat on their legs and head, and on the back of their legs, it should be a little longer in length. The topcoat in general should be anywhere from 5 to 15 centimetres (2.0 to 5.9 in) long. [10]
  3. The dog's hair should appear dense everywhere except their limbs and head. You should not notice feathering, and there should not be any parting on the dog's back either. On the dog's legs and head, the hair should appear close, and you should notice a mane that starts at the ear's set on point. The dog's topcoat also covers their undercoat. The dog's hair is relatively wavy, with the most amount of wave being on their mane. The dog's back should have multiple waves that combine. [11]

Checking Temperament

  1. Slovensky Cuvacs are known to be affectionate dogs who typically form a close bond with their family. [12]
  2. While they love their family, Slovensky Cuvacs may be reserved of strangers, and sometimes suspicious towards them. [13]
  3. Slovensky Cuvacs are protective dogs who will do pretty much anything to protect their family. [14]
  4. Slovensky Cuvacs have a relatively high energy level, and they will need regular exercise through things like walks or games of fetch. [15]
  5. Slovensky Cuvacs are known to be independent dogs, meaning a clear leader will need to be established when they are being trained-the training they receive will need to be firm and consistent. [16]
  6. While they do need a good amount of exercise, Slovensky Cuvacs are known to be calm dogs overall. [17]
